New Article from the A/CA Team: "Archives-in-the-Making, Vulnerable Communities and Migration"

A cover for an academic journal called L'Atalante that depicts a field at dusk with a pole on the right side of the picture with some cloth attached to that is blowing in the wind. The photo is in black and white and there is small very small text on the left hand side of the image which is not easily readable.

"Archives-in-the-Making, Vulnerable Communities and Migration: Outreach and Innovative Scholarship in Audiovisual-Based Research Projects and Associations" is a roundtable discussion between several archival organizations from around the world that leading members of the A/CA team (Janine Marchessault, Michael Zryd, and Antoine Damiens) participated in. The article is published in a recent special issue of the film studies journal L'Atalante that is focused on the topics of film archives and migration.

Abstract:
The section (Dis)agreements brings together four projects and an association engaged with the preservation, generation and remediation of archives, especially audiovisual archives, connected with migratory phenomena and subaltern communities. The dialogue with the researchers of these initiatives—based in Canada, Italy, UK and Belgium—looks at the origins of these projects and explores their goals, theoretical and ethical positions, their relations with grassroots communities, their outreach activities and the preservation difficulties of the materials included in their archives in the digital era. In general, these projects take a critical approach to traditional archives, and function, by building alliances with institutions and organizations, like facilitators.
