Refiguring the Archive at once expresses cutting-edge debates on
`the archive' in South Africa and internationally, and pushes the
boundaries of those debates. It brings together prominent thinkers
from a range of disciplines, mainly South Africans but a number
from other countries. Traditionally archives have been seen as
preserving memory and as holding the past. The contributors to this
book question this orthodoxy, unfolding the ways in which archives
construct, sanctify, and bury pasts. In his contribution, Jacques
Derrida (an instantly recognisable name in intellectual discourse
worldwide) shows how remembering can never be separated from
forgetting, and argues that the archive is about the future rather
than the past. Collectively the contributors demonstrate the degree
to which thinking about archives is embracing new realities and new
possibilities. The book expresses a confidence in claiming for
archival discourse previously unentered terrains. It serves as an
early manual for a time that has already begun.
