系列:档案中的Routledge研究
《加勒比身份存档》强调了该地区档案的“加勒比化”,考虑到这些档案将来可能包括哪些内容,并探索以新格式制作新记录的可能性。
从最广泛的意义上解释记录,本书的15章探索了代表新档案解释的各种记录。这本书分为两部分,第一部分侧重于在传统西方实践中通常不被视为“档案”的记录形式。第二部分探讨了更“传统”的档案收藏,并展示了如何从加勒比人民的角度分析和展示这些收藏。总的来说,这本书暗示了殖民地的记录如何被重新利用,以呈现加勒比海的叙事。回顾发展中国家在处理档案时面临的独特挑战,该卷考虑了如何以反映后殖民和非殖民化加勒比的形式和格式识别和归档记录,如何建立记录当代社会和反映加勒比记忆的人民档案,以及如何重新调整殖民地档案的用途,以帮助加勒比海恢复其历史。
《加勒比身份档案》展示了非文本文化痕迹如何作为档案记录发挥作用,以及以民间为中心的观点如何破坏对记录的传统理解。因此,从事档案、记忆、文化、历史、社会学以及殖民和后殖民经验研究的学者和学生应该对这本书感兴趣。
Archiving Caribbean Identity: Records, Community, and Memory
Series: Routledge Studies in Archives
Archiving Caribbean Identity highlights the “Caribbeanization” of archives in the region, considering what those archives could include in the future and exploring the potential for new records in new formats.
Interpreting records in the broadest sense, the 15 chapters in this volume explore a wide variety of records that represent new archival interpretations. The book is split into two parts, with the first part focusing on record forms that are not generally considered “archival” in traditional Western practice. The second part explores more “traditional” archival collections and demonstrates how these collections are analysed and presented from the perspective of Caribbean peoples. As a whole, the volume suggests how colonial records can be repurposed to surface Caribbean narratives. Reflecting on the unique challenges faced by developing countries as they approach their archives, the volume considers how to identify and archive records in the forms and formats that reflect the postcolonial and decolonized Caribbean, how to build an archive of the people that documents contemporary society and reflects Caribbean memory, and how to repurpose the colonial archives so that they assist the Caribbean in reclaiming its history.
Archiving Caribbean Identity demonstrates how non-textual cultural traces function as archival records and how folk-centred perspectives disrupt conventional understandings of records. The book should thus be of interest to academics and students engaged in the study of archives, memory, culture, history, sociology, and the colonial and postcolonial experience.
