Archive Fever - Derrida, Steedman, & the Archival Turn
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лис 2019
- Archive Fever is a text by the French poststructuralist, Jacques Derrida. Influenced by Freud and psychoanalysis, Derrida asks what should be included in archives, where there are gaps, and what a Freudian archive might look like. The historian Carole Steedman reflects on the historian in the archive; what are they looking for, where are the beginnings, how can you possibly do the dead justice?
Derrida cites Arkhe as being both ‘commencement’ and ‘commandment’ - both a place - an original position, a beginning, a source, and a command, an authority, an order.
Archives are the sites of the great chain, the contract between the living and the dead, the locus of power and authority.
arkhe also comes from arkheion - a house, a dwelling, a residence. A house presumes inclusion and exclusion too. Who has the right to enter? To make the law? To interpret the archive? Who has the last word?
Historian Arlette Farge has written that ‘Archives are neither faithful to reality nor totally representative of it; but they play their part in this reality, offering differences and alternatives to other possible statements.’

I don't know why but I come back to this video every month, in the middle of the night.
Sounds like Derrida couldn't find the book he was looking for at the local library.
lol
Thanks, this work makes my skin crawl. Words can't describe how subtle, amazing and deep is your work
"There is no archive without a place of consignation, without a technique of repetition,
and without a certain exteriority. No archive without outside..."/Derrida
The repetition returns eternally.
You really nailed this one, my friend
Great work as always, thank you. Made me think of modern archives and how the historian's relationship with them may change if in the long-term future they ever get access to all the youtube, facebook, google, twitter archives. They could make a (not particularly interesting) 10-part documentary series about almost anyone that lived.
Your work is extremely underappreciated
❤️❤️❤️ pure love for the contents.
It starts with a mark.
sensing, filtering, amplifying.
positive feedback, negative feedback.
The mark enters a circuit, a mechanism, a structure.
It is now not just a mark but is now a part of something.
Growing, fading.
becoming something bigger, maintaining something bigger, reducing something bigger.
The mark is now among other marks.
Marks sensing, filtering, amplifying other marks.
including, excluding other marks.
A system, a cascade, momentum.
Now sustained through movement of marks.
Controlling how, what and where a mark can change something.
The power of the mark is that the marks have movement.
How much movement and how long can a marks movement influence.
Will the mark just bounce off?
Will the mark stick?
How has the mark entered?
Will the mark amplify that which has come before?
A mark has entered.
I can’t express how much I appreciate your content. Every one of your videos is illuminating and excellently presented.
I’m considering becoming a patron as soon as I have expendable cash
As an archival studies student I suggest you develop this series by including the work of Terry Cook and other archival theorists who respond to Derrida's questions.
Who else would this be on top of terry cook? Wondering who today is the foremost thinkers on archives are
@@alifibrahim5064 Verne Harris at par though.
@@alifibrahim5064 Michelle Caswell has a good literature review. escholarship.org/content/qt7bn4v1fk/qt7bn4v1fk.pdf
Always a pleasure
man, your videos evoke a feeling of learning and fulfillment, between all the banal day things, i really like seeing the thumbnail of one of your videos, and feeling today has not been just a normal day, but that i learned something.
Archives are our main collective memories, stored to be looked through in the future in order to bring back information that gives us details and nuance of what was before.
My favourite philosopher
Brilliant video, thank you so much!
Your work is criminally underrated
Amazing stuff mate, thanks a lot.
Very impressive presentation.
Good stuff, thanks.
Awesome video as usual
This is a very affecting video. Your content is important and often beautiful.
Love your content.
I have to say, I just fucking love this channel. Superb video, my friend. As always, of course, but this one somehow holds a special place in my.... archive.
THIS IS ITTTTTT. Aw! So good
Dang what a great channel. I think this may be the most mature intellectual content on UA-cam.
Wondering where you get all this amazing old-timey footage from.
How is your timing so perfect? 😁
Everything is always-already.
Hello! Could you please post here the references for the quotes from Arlete Farge?
Everyting that was put into archive stays and there Will be more spaced added to retain even more
An excellent essay. I'm sorry if it's stated elsewhere and I've missed it, but does anyone know what the piano piece is?
Yes please anyone?
The archive as the extension of our memory... or our memory as the extension of the archive ? Atleast both are hoovering somewhere between emotions and rationality, ... as a fever dream where you suddenly wake up from , ... thankfull that its over but nostalgic about its true nature.
oh my god oh my god it's archive feverrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Whats the piano music piece in the background please?
Is your voice-over available as text? Would be awesome to read it through again:)
8:30min Kinda, but this implies that you are not dealing with finite entities, that there are not (justified) relevant questions, and within those relevant questions, there are some more important than others to answer specific questions.
Stares in *Assualt on the Truth* written by the former director of the Freud archive.
7:00 The general category seems to be Archive, and one of its particular manifestations, in this instance, the biography. Psychoanalysis aims to be a scientific theory so it should be criticized in order to get better answers to the questions it poses. Sure, you may do a biography, or, a genealogy, Nietzschean, or, historically materialistic, actually Lionel Baily, and Darien Leader do point to biographical aspects of Russell (in Darien Leader´s case) where analytical observations are revealed. Lionel Baily is more systematic in explaining the modes of early identification with one´s parent's profession, or, the opposite of what they do. I do not think it makes psychoanalysis wrong by necessity if analytical phenomena is found in the Everyday Life of Freud. If it does it may advance the theory. If ideological, or, symptomatical aspects of the theory appear they should be looked for: sure. Analysts talk about this very same thing.
I’ll n’y a pas hors de text.~Jacques Derrida
There is no inset
Derrida is the most important philosopher in the entire tradition of Western metaphysics. At least for me.
I'd say Deleuze from the last century or so.
leaving a comment for the algorithm! :p
I really can't understand how this chanel ia not at least at the 500k subs range. Pressentation can be compared only with the very best you can find on youtube and the topics are always very intresting. Sadly, I am poor as fuck (crapitalism) and I can't support you on patreon. I appreciate the hell out of the content tho, please keep going.
P.S : hope comment helps for youtube's algorithm
What is the song in the background?
that was beautiful *sniff*
we remember because we are all working to solve np versus p problem type, and solution analysis under limited scope along time.
