Across the Great Divide: Archival Discourse and the (Re)presentations of the Past in Late-Modern Society

  • Bernadine Dodge

Résumé

Cet article examine les implications, pour le discours archivistique dans notre monde de ce début du XXIe siècle, de la technoculture et de la reformulation numérique des documents, des textes et des images. Une fois ces objets détachés de leur contexte original et projetés dans le cyberespace, des questions comme la provenance, l'autorité, la mémoire et la preuve sont affectées de diverses façons. Plusieurs théoriciens du post-modernisme déplorent les effets de la distorsion du temps et de la vitesse associés à l'âge de la machine. Plusieurs regrettent aussi la fin de l'individu autonome et enraciné, caractérisé par un soi immanent et stable. L'auteure de cet article propose qu'un relâchement des liens qui nous unissent aux façons traditionnelles de voir les pratiques archivistiques peut comporter des avantages.
