Organdi Quarterly welcomes submissions for Issue #9: archives / filing
(Summer 2007): deadline 15/06/2007
In the context of the constantly accelerating pace of our lives, progress in
terms of storage capacity,
editing, and publishing has expanded the possibilities for filing and the
constitution of archives. A tool to
explore and understand the past, archives have also become an essential
element of self-definition for people.
Citizens and communities build their own archives consumers store personal
meomories (emails, photos etc); and contemporary art, in a search for
intelligibility and history, uses the archive as a material and a site of
inquiry.
This special issue seeks to investigate the contemporary need for archives.
Possible topics
include, but are not limited to: archives as sites of inquiry for history,
critical theory, or anthropology;
archives as a source of inspiration or political protest; the legal and
political issues of filing; the
technological use of filing devices and softwares.
As usual, other contributions unrelated to the theme of the issue will be
considered for the following
sections of Organdi Quarterly:
Letters to the Editors,
Espace Libre (articles, interviews, documents),
Books, Music, Cinema & the Arts (cultural reviews),
Out of Frame (exhibitions).
etc.
Deadline: 15/06/2002
