An impassioned and multidisciplinary argument for engaging with the archive as both vitally generative and ripe for critique and reimagination within the arts and humanities.

Archival Entanglements arrives in the wake of the archival turn in the arts and humanities. What humanists call the archive has been challenged, deconstructed, and reinvented, but, as editors Puja Batra-Wells and Harmony Bench show, the conversation about the archive is far from over. In this interdisciplinary collection, contributors from digital humanities, performance studies, labor studies, race and ethnic studies, and more come together to shed new light on how objects, knowledges, environments, bodily practices, and identities are entangled with the archive. Showcasing a range of approaches from traditional essays to artistic engagements, the works in this collection complicate questions of archival memory; raise issues of accessibility, erasure, latency, and surveillance; and ask if we should forge new spaces of remembrance that reach beyond the limits of the archive. Archival Entanglements posits the archive as both a generative site of knowledge production and a constricted force of consolidation around dominant narratives--essentially, as a complex web of theories and practices with which the arts and humanities are fundamentally entangled.
