Open Archives of Latin-American Cities: imaginaries, etnographies and memory (OALAC)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

We are a collective that investigates the relationships between cities and Latin American archives. Open Archives of Latin American Cities: imaginaries, ethnographies and memory<\/em> explores archives as dynamic gestures of selection, signifying practice, remembrance, experience, and creation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We understand archives as being constituted by the selection of patrimony, political practices, ethnographic experiences, and acts of imagination<\/em>. Archives both challenge the city and are created by it. From this perspective they are not only repositories of the past preserved in documents, artifacts, collections, and monuments selected as heritage, over time. Nor are they restricted to the architectural palimpsests of urban spatiality. Shaped in dialogue with contemporary media, archives are also recast by the projections and expectations of the future generated by multiple agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A no\u00e7\u00e3o de \u201carquivo aberto\u201d \u00e9 um chamado \u00e0 intera\u00e7\u00e3o experiencial, discursiva, est\u00e9tica e pol\u00edtica sobre os imagin\u00e1rios e repert\u00f3rios que s\u00e3o apropriados, inventados e disputados pelos habitantes urbanos. Trata-se de destacar a vitalidade do arquivo como pr\u00e1tica interativa que sedimenta mem\u00f3rias, ati\u00e7a sele\u00e7\u00f5es\/apagamentos e esbo\u00e7a estranhamentos e pertencimentos na cidade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marked by conflicting legacies from the Iberian colonial past, by regimes of slavery and subjection of indigenous populations, Latin American cities are also vibrant scenarios of multicultural heritage. We explore cities as open archives in their specificities, cultural appropriations, and social dilemmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Open Archives collective favors an essayist's approach to research and creations in cinema, photography, visual arts, music, architecture, urbanism, ethnography, media, and literature. The approaches are diverse, covering history, urban geography, anthropology, image and media studies, and literary criticism. Within the diversity of our projects, we discuss key issues such as: What are the relationships between archives, artistic practices, social media, and urban memory? How are urban imaginaries and public spaces in the modern\/contemporary city modified by technologies, art, consumption, and political agendas? How can ethnographies be rendered in the intersection between material and virtual cities?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
