The #ArchivalTurn as Practice
https://archivaria.ca/index.php/archivaria/article/view/14071
This article reflects on the significance of the affective turn for work in cultural studies and #queerstudies, paying particular attention to the distinction between #archivaltheory and #archivalpractice. It focuses on #queerarchives and especially the creative methods of artists in the #archives. It closes with a brief return to #Derrida’s #ArchiveFever by way of acknowledging its influence
