Archives have never been more complex, expansive, or ubiquitous.
Gargantuan in scale and conception yet never sufficient or
complete, the archive is on the one hand a space for empowerment
and expression and on the other an instrument of constraint and
repression. The way in which the archive is structured, made
available, and developed plays a central role in how societies
define their values and ethics. Archives: Power, Truth, and Fiction
is a wide-ranging and innovative volume which highlights the
vibrancy and urgency of the field by bringing together contributors
from many different disciplines and backgrounds, including
archivists, historians, literary scholars, digital researchers, and
creative practitioners. The archive of the twenty-first century is
a fluid and multi-vocal space that challenges at every point the
hegemonic and positivistic assumptions which shaped traditional
ideas of the archive. The massive growth of digital archives
further complicates the picture. Archives: Power, Truth, and
Fiction is designed to help the reader draw threads through the
rapidly changing and shifting multiverse of archives. The
interdisciplinary and international contributors use a wide range
of examples, from the Middle Ages to the Windrush scandal, to
unsettle preconceptions, encourage debate, and draw out issues
generated by the perpetual motion of the archive.
