• W1504246162 abstract "Archiving the Potentialities of Events Dag Petersson Senior Researcher, The Royal Library, Copenhagen C / on stru ctin g an arch ive exclusively for events that can happen— regardless of whether or not they ever will or actually ever did happen— is also to challenge the limits of what an archive can do. Since 1999, the Lebanese artist Walid Raad has done just that. His project The Atlas Group Archive still documents, researches and produces a contemporary history of the Lebanese civil wars that ravaged Lebanon between 1975 and 1991. In their exhibitions, The Atlas Group Archive claims, like any other archive, that the objects on display constitute factual evidence of past events. This is in no sense untrue, but as I will suggest in more detail, the most striking experience when attending their exhibitions is the realization that the docu­ ments represent not actual past events but potential ones. I will argue that the archive’s artefacts and explanatory texts produce historical paradoxes in such a way that these are capable of documenting the historical potentiali­ ties of events. As Raad himself explained in an interview: “The documents in this imaginary archive do not so much document ‘what happened! but what can be imagined, what can be said, taken for granted, what can appear as rational or not, as thinkable and sayable about the civil wars” (Raad 2001). In short, The Atlas Group organizes an archive for potentialities that only ESC 30.1 (March 2004): 39-50 Dag Petersson is a senior researcher at the Royal Library, Copenhagen, and is also affiliated with the Copenhagen University research center, Media and Democracy in the Network Society.” He received a PhD in art history in 2001 for a dissertation on photography and dialectic thought in Hegel, Benjamin and Derrida. Current research includes the role of archives and history in the digital age as well as the history and archivability of time and visual technologies. appeared historically after the wars. In this article, I will describe and ana­ lyze what structural features are required of such an archive. The Atlas Group Archive collects and displays physical things. Yet its collection amounts to an archive of potentialities. This is in itself remarkable, since the distinction between things and potentialities is fundamental. Their separation is ontological, which means that the way things are is completely different from the way potentialities are. It was Aristotle who introduced this fundamental difference into philosophy.1 He argued that if a potential­ ity were said to be, in the same way that a thing is, one would confuse the being of a thing with the being of that which enables a thing to be the way it is. Aristotle also said that, unlike a thing, a potentiality can exist without manifesting itself as an actual being: one can be able to do a thing without ever doing it, showing it or even knowing about it. There have been several different attempts to define the difference between potential beings and actual beings. For the purpose of speaking about The Atlas Group Archive, I would like to avoid the majority of defi­ nitions, which in one way or another hinge upon the materialization or realization of a potentiality. Instead, I would prefer to take as my departure point how actual beings and potentialities change. A potentiality does not change the same way as an actual being changes. Therefore, I would say that ontogenetically the two belong to two different modes of existence. In the essay collection Potentialities, Giorgio Agamben traces a philosophi­ cal history of potentiality from Aristotle until today. He ends by showing how Derrida and Deleuze differ precisely on the point of how to separate potentialities from actual beings. Agamben concludes his remarks on Der­ rida by saying that in his conceptualization of the “trace,” its pure potential to signify (and not to signify) “is no longer meaning’s self-reference, a sign’s signification of itself; instead, it is the materialization of a potentiality, the materialization of its own possibility” (Agamben 218). “Trace” in Derrida does not mean that potentialities materialize into actual beings, but that they materialize so as to make their own actualization possible.
