oh boy another literary studies blog post-cum-article on the function of the imagination vis a vis archiving that fails to cite any work from actual archival studies!!!!
#but yet again cites hartman (who i do love to be clear!!!) and derrida#i don't believe in calling out grad students by name but keywords here are upenn archives 19C novel#or just dm me if you want to know lol#as a theory hoe i do. like. respect the urge to theorize 'enclosures' (not what this article ends up doing) and archival limitations etc#but also! archivists are not not thinking about this themselves!!!#we've got articles too! we're also coming up with practical workarounds!#at least this time the author glancingly refers to the existence of the finding aid?#though continuing to ignore the archival labor that went into producing it :)#on the flip side of course many archivists are dumb as rocks and most saa publications are actively hostile to good writing. but still#as somebody without a phd but who spends a lot of time professionally and socially around those who do: respect the archivist or else!!!!
