(Un)sighted Archives of Migration acknowledges that migration is a
fundamental part of social practice and collective memory. However,
archives that have undergone migration or were established by
individuals or communities with migration experience gain little
public and institutional attention. This volume with its transversal
perspective across the fields of art, anthropology and social
activism, offers new perspectives on the enormous potential of
migratory archives as resourceful spaces for encounter and
remembrance, and as a contribution to the plural collective memories
and identities of post-migratory societies. Emphasizing the archival
agency by migrants, the chapters raise new questions with regard to
the multi-directional, collaborative forms of knowledge production
within and beyond an archive, its boundaries, and its materiality.
Focusing on the complexities of power relations, spatial and temporal
dynamics, media practices, and meaning production involved in the
making, maintenance, viewing, appropriation, destruction and loss of
such archives, the chapters contribute to a critical methodological
and theoretical discussion about (un)sighted archives as spaces of
encounter and resistance in a liminal zone of visibility and
invisibility. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Visual Anthropology.
