- W3143146039 abstract "The theme of this issue 'Archive Madness,' was that of the 2010 ASAL conference, held at the University of New South Wales and convened by the editors of this issue. The theme aimed to promote and enable consideration of the limits of disciplinary borders and the revival of the archive in literary analysis and the implications of these for the study of Australian Literature. The title echoes and redirects Derrida's famous study Archive Fever: A Freudian Impression and numerous essays here engage directly with Derrida's text. Archive fever, for Derrida, is 'a compulsive, repetitive, and nostalgic desire for the archive, an irrepressible desire to return to the origin, a homesickness, a nostalgia for the return to the most archaic place of absolute commencement' (91). The archive is simultaneously a site of revelation and concealment, both of which are accorded the authority of the actual trace.The theme also addresses the new role of the archive in digital information systems and as a rubric to consider the archive of the literary-disciplinary formation itself, which is currently undergoing radical revisions. The 16 papers collected here consider these important questions in their various attentions to literary texts, their circulations and their disappearances. From their respective positions each asks how we think about the trace of word, text and object in the formation of the literary object and literary cultures? They question and perform our increasing attachment to the archival trace and speculate on their relationship to questions of the national literature and the annals of nation-formation?In keeping with ASAL conventions, the conference included the annual Dorothy Green Memorial Lecture, on this occasion delivered by Dr Kate Lilley. In this thoughtful, affective consideration of the literary archive Lilley describes its contemporary operation as 'the metonymic circuit of textual objects and subjects, authors and readers, [which] is continuous with the desire for more complete or authentic access to an occulted scene of live composition, a missing author ... .' This premise adds further charge to Lilley's account of archival work for, as she discloses:This paper is, circuitously, all about my mother, and me: my formal, legal role as Dorothy Hewett's literary executor (along with my brother, Tom Flood); the experience of growing up in the archive and of being, in a sense, part of the archive; and the task of curating a part of that archive as the editor of the new Selected Poems of Dorothy Hewett.The temporality of the archive, its historical and antecedent distance is here complicated in intergenerational webs of connection that range across familial and professional lines. The result is a sharp analysis of archive practices and effects in a performative embodiment of their ongoing processes.ASAL is also fortunate to receive funding from CAL (Copyright Agency Australia) that enables writers to attend the conference and present new work or deliver papers. With this backing we invited three writers/thinkers/activists to a panel titled 'The Unhomely Archive.' Panelists included Angelo Loukakis, Paula Abood and Joseph Pugliese. The panel comprises three interrelated papers taking up the possibilities and promises of traces of occluded or overlooked lives and bodies within the national archive. Angelo Loukakis's 'The Missing Archive' addresses a suitcase of correspondence comprised mostly of letters between his parents from the years before their marriage. The letters present moving, tangible, and at times mysterious connections between Greece and Australia during WWII, including the occupation of Crete, and the years just following. The connections between these particular lives, bodies and memories, constitute a profound and insistent alternative to the monolingual 'colonial and war missives' that comprise the vast bulk of public library repositories of letters.Paula Abood's 'Archive of the Displaced' presents a related lacuna in the present institutionalised account of the nation. …" @default.
