Arquivo, Memória, Traços

From material and immaterial value, from the document to existence before embodiment (the trace), there are multiple, diffuse and divergent writings that generate the field of enquiry for this project. One of the aims is to bring together and compare ideas and testimonies that allow us to rethink the fragment as something that cannot be assimilated and that is constituted as a trace of a singular and revolutionary movement. The set of authors and philosophers (Foucault, Derrida) who place the archive in a place of transformation and reaction to categories or fixations, inspire the set of activities that have been carried out. This research project is associated with the Family Film Project – Archive, Memory and Ethnography, an international festival dedicated to cinema, thought and performance.
