Dear Friends,
We are writing to inform all of you about the publication of an edited collection of transdisciplinary essays that has been published on the Third Text Forum (available
online, open access) called Living Archives: Re/Animating the Subjects of History.
It is available here: http://www.thirdtext.org/living-archives
The collection, emerging out of the roundtable held at ACSAA in Nov 2019 at Edinburgh College of Art, includes an Introduction by Sanjukta Sunderason (University of
Amsterdam) and Aditi Chandra (University of California, Merced) called “Living Archives and Decolonial Potentialities: Re/animating the Subjects of History” Available here:
http://www.thirdtext.org/livingarchives-chandra-sunderason1 in two parts.
The collection includes a host of essay-length explorations on the concept of living archives, in inter-disciplinary and intermedial ways, spanning visual art, architectural
monuments, music, dance, documentary filmmaking, film institutions, as well as discourses on freedom, decolonization, historical and memory practices, as well as archival methodologies.
We hope that this open access collection of essays will be of research and teaching use for many in this community. Our sincere thanks to ACSAA for being the nurturing
ground for this project.
All our best wishes,
Sanjukta and Aditi
