(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.
