Archiving as an act of collecting and preserving information is also a performance of collective memory and the exercise of power. Archives are not solely composed of documents or records on shelves, but of contexts and narratives conveyed in diverse forms: linguistic, visual, auditory, gestural, and embodied. The digital age has further expanded this understanding, adding new possibilities of access, ephemerality, and mediation. Archives are therefore not only subjects of historical, social, and political research, but also an inspirational source for literature, film, and media. This volume explores the functions and challenges of archives from both a historical perspective and in relation to contemporary societal issues. It brings together reflections on new historical and social constructs to be linked with political, legal, cultural, and artistic applications of archives, particularly concerning migrant collectives and queer dissidents.
