Collecting Activism, Archiving Occupy Wall Street explores the
material collections produced by participants of Occupy Wall Street
in 2011 that bear witness to the experience and agency of 'the
99%'. Examining processes of collection development as a lens
through which to investigate the sociology of protest and reform
movements, the book questions what contribution a dual study of the
material culture of dissent and the production of a collection
hosting the material culture of dissent might offer to a range of
disciplines and practices. It asks if and how a collections-based
study can test the propositions, tactics, and limits of activism
from archival, museological, and political perspectives. Collecting
Activism, Archiving Occupy Wall Street draws from interdisciplinary
fields, including museum studies, collection studies, archive
studies, cultural studies, and public history. It will be a
valuable resource for scholars and practitioners engaged with
contemporary cause-based collecting, activist archiving, public
history, and the cultural politics and sociology of social reform
movements. It models strategies for 'activating' historical
archives and collections-based data, and for engaging with
autoethnographic records to represent and analyze the material
residue of protest and reform movements today.
