Impossible archives. Damage, fragility and memory in visual archives of Pur\u00e9pecha communities in Michoac\u00e1n<\/em><\/h3>\n

Talking about archives involves referring to collections of objects and\/or documents that have been accumulated, preserved, and organized. Archives are usually available in the present and open to possible future uses. Among the infinite generation of archives, particularly of domestic ones, only a few of them become preserved and public.\u00a0Building on Derrida’s notion of \u00abarchive fever\u00bb as the desire for archiving, the potential destruction of the archive, and the power paradoxes of this tension in terms of memory, temporality and\u00a0patrimony,\u00a0this presentation tells the stories of some local visual archives in Pur\u00e9pecha communities of Michoac\u00e1n that either became destroyed, that remain in precarious preserving conditions, or that have been built around a concern for documenting the passing of time and death.<\/p>\n

Retrieving Images, Retrieving Histories: Reimagining an Unresolved Colonial Past<\/em><\/h3>\n

In 1909, photographer Dana Merrill was commissioned by a U.S. Railway Company to document a neocolonial engineering feat in Latin America: the construction of the Madeira-Mamor\u00e9 Railroad. Merrill\u2019s images showcased this ambitious enterprise intended to expand corporate capitalism in the Western Amazon rainforest, inscribing a promise of modernization in the \u00abland of the rubber-gum tree.\u00bb In 2012, almost a century later, I started working with this photographic archive, interrogating the fabrication of colonial representations, the construction of imaginaries and the writings of History. Retrieving these images and the multiple histories embodied within helps recognize their possibilities for inquiring futures. This research process \u2014 existing in the intersection of an analysis of archival material and the creation of collaborative pedagogical projects \u00ad\u2013 examines the collections looking particularly at traces of the invisible and the omissions within archiving.<\/p>\n

Cat\u00e1strofe y utop\u00eda en la \u00f3pera experimental<\/em><\/h3>\n

Desde hace tiempo que la ruina ha dejado de ser una parte del pasado para convertirse en la condici\u00f3n del presente. Al desastre ecol\u00f3gico se suman las crisis econ\u00f3micas y el desgarro del tejido social. Vivimos, al parecer, en la cat\u00e1strofe permanente. \u00bfHay un futuro posible desde la ruina? \u00bfUn mundo posible despu\u00e9s de la extinci\u00f3n?\u00a0A extin\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 para sempre<\/em>\u00a0es el nombre de un proyecto colectivo que el artista brasile\u00f1o Nuno Ramos llev\u00f3 adelante entre mayo del 2021 ymayo del 2022. De sus siete episodios, voy a detenerme en\u00a0Os desastres da guerra<\/em>, una \u00f3pera experimental en la que el v\u00ednculo entre palabra y sonido es una nueva coartada para huir de la hipervisibilidad medi\u00e1tica en la que vivimos. La \u00f3pera experimental funciona como una categor\u00eda que expande las de performance o instalaci\u00f3n sonora, una herramienta, entonces, con la que abordar diversos elementos de\u00a0Os desastres da guerra<\/em>: cuadros vivientes que hacen sensible f\u00f3siles corporales, partituras que hacen o\u00edr la ceguera social y cat\u00e1strofes sonoras que experimentan su reversibilidad, un mundo posible de imaginaci\u00f3n voc\u00e1lica.<\/p>\n

From a Haitian Standpoint: Essays on Liberty and Equality in the Revolutionary Atlantic<\/em><\/h3>\n

The collection of essays (in progress) I will be discussing in this workshop situates the 18th and 19th century struggles over black slavery and racial equality in the Caribbean and Spanish America within the history of political thought. Based on a wide range of (archival and published) texts, the essays, focussed\u00a0on Haiti and Venezuela, explore\u00a0the ways in which we need to revise conventional accounts of the upheavals at the time before we can grasp the\u00a0struggle against racial subordination as central to the\u00a0political landscapes.<\/p>\n
