Abstract

"Urgent Archives argues that archivists can and should do more to disrupt white supremacy and hetero-patriarchy beyond the standard liberal archival solutions of more diverse collecting and more inclusive description. Grounded in the emerging field of critical archival studies, this book uncovers how dominant western archival theories and practices are oppressive by design, while looking toward the the radical politics of community archives to envision new liberatory theories and practices. Based on more than a decade of ethnography at community archives sites including the South Asian American Digital Archive (SAADA), the book explores how members of minoritized communities activate records to build solidarities across and within communities, trouble linear progress narratives, and disrupt cycles of oppression. Caswell explores the temporal, representational, and material aspects of liberatory memory work, arguing that archival disruptions in time and space should be neither about the past nor the future, but about the liberatory affects and effects of memory work in the present. Urgent Archives extends the theoretical range of critical archival studies and provides a new framework for archivists looking to transform their practices. The book should also be of interest to scholars of archival studies, museum studies, public history, memory studies, gender and ethnic studies and digital humanities"--

Abstract

All the world's a stage - literally so, given the ubiquitous presence of webcams recording daily life in cities. This footage, allegedly documentary, recreates cities as cinematic environments as people interact with the multitudes of cameras and screens around them. Paula Albuquerque's original research and experimental films, presented in this groundbreaking book, expose fictionalising elements in archival webcams and explore video surveillance as an urban condition that influences both perceptions of the past and visions of the future.

Abstract

The catalogue of works, also known as the oeuvre catalogue or catalogue raisonné, is considered a fundamental reference work for museums, collectors and art historical research. It is also indispensable for the art market as an instrument used to authenticate and distinguish works. But what requirements should catalogues raisonnés fulfill nowadays? To what extent can digital applications and multidisciplinary approaches provide added value? What part do catalogues raisonnés play in determining authenticity or in the field of provenance research? And what responsibility do authors actually bear for the accuracy of their statements? Around 30 contributions shed light on the genre with numerous case studies, looking at its past and future, theory and practice. First handbook for theory and practice of the catalogue raisonné Werkverzeichnis, auch Œuvrekata­log oder Catalogue raisonné genannt, gilt als grundlegendes Nachschlage­werk für Museen, Sammlerinnen und Sammler und die kunsthistorische Forschung. Auch für den Kunstmarkt ist es als Instrument der Authentifizie­rung und Nobilitierung unverzichtbar. Doch welche Anforderungen sollten Werkverzeichnisse heutzutage erfüllen? Inwiefern können digitale Anwendun­gen und multidisziplinäre Ansätze einen Mehrwert bieten? Welche Rolle kommt Werkverzeichnissen bei der Echtheitsbestimmung oder im Bereich der Provenienzforschung zu? Und welche Verantwortung tragen Auto­rinnen und Autoren eigentlich für die Richtigkeit ihrer Angaben? Rund 30 Beiträge beleuchten das Genre anhand zahlreicher Fallbeispiele mit Blick auf seine Vergangenheit und Zukunft, auf Theorie und Praxis. Erstes Handbuch zu Theorie und Praxis des Werkverzeichnisses

Abstract

In the beginning, the World Wide Web was exciting and open to the point of anarchy, a vast and intimidating repository of unindexed confusion. Into this creative chaos came Google with its dazzling mission-"To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible"-and its much-"ed motto, "Don't be evil." In this provocative book, Siva Vaidhyanathan examines the ways we have used and embraced Google-and the growing resistance to its expansion across the globe. He exposes the dark side of our Google fantasies, raising red flags about issues of intellectual property and the much-touted Google Book Search. He assesses Google's global impact, particularly in China, and explains the insidious effect of Googlization on the way we think. Finally, Vaidhyanathan proposes the construction of an Internet ecosystem designed to benefit the whole world and keep one brilliant and powerful company from falling into the "evil" it pledged to avoid.
