We tend to think of the archive as a repository of memories, things, and documents from the past, or, as a technique that turns or arrests the present into a past. What kind of archive safeguards or keeps company with or \u201csummons,\u201d to use Chimurenga Library\u2019s words, a past that the present hasn\u2019t yet caught up with? Can such a past or such an archive be summoned to haunt the present as an alternative? These are the questions that Avery Gordon will explore in this year’s Helen Pond McIntyre \u201848 Lecture.<\/span><\/p>\n
