Necesitamos un archivo pero no a cualquier precio. Para ser clave en la configuración de lo colectivo tendrá que hacerse sensible a las dimensiones de lo común sin abandonar su origen como repositorio de lo público.
Watching #DLFForum’s collective response to our panel on defending the commons in libraries & archives is pretty amazing. Thanks to copanelists Thomas Padilla, Rosalyn Metz, Shannon O’Neill, and Eira Tansey!
See our slides and Zotero group library.
Commons areas have been constituted through history as places open to all. The LAM sectors describe our work using the term. What if our work reflects a history of commodification? We explore the realization of the commons as an interdisciplinary goal and how to creatively respond to threats of enclosure.
In this post, I try to unpack some of my concerns around
Sourcery as raised in my Society of California Archivists keynote, and how they relate to the visibility of archival labor, austerity, and enclosure.
