Archival research and theory. I am interested in digital archiving, artistic practice and in particular the work of Rebecca Comay. In early September I visited the library at the Universität der Künste Berlin to find a copy of Comay’s collection of essays Lost in the Archives. In her introduction Comay defines the archival experience, through technology, archival practice and literature. I returned to the text at Leeds Beckett library in late September and read an interview with Geoffrey Hartman from 2000: The Ethics of Witness. This documents work in Yale’s Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies. Through the website I discovered the work of Lawrence L. Langer and I am now reading The Holocaust and the Literary Imagination. Langer’s ideas centre on what he describes as the ‘literature of atrocity’, where historical fact meets the artistic imagination.
