The colonial past through objects of
sound
The Berlin Sound Archive (Lautarchiv)
consists of an extensive collection of sound recordings, compiled for
scientific purposes in the first half of the 20th century. Recorded on shellac
are stories and songs, personal testimonies and poems, glossaries and numbers. This book engages with the archive by consistently focusing on recordings produced under colonial conditions.
With a firm commitment to postcolonial
scholarship, Absent Presences in the Colonial Archive is a historical
ethnography of a metropolitan institution that participated in the production
and preservation of colonial structures of power and knowledge. The book examines
sound objects and listening practices that render the coloniality of knowledge
fragile and inconsistent, revealing the absent presences of colonial subjects
who are given little or no place in established national narratives and
collective memories.
Ebook available in Open Access.
This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).
Dealing with the colonial archive entails acknowledging the inability to know everything, accounting for the archive’s limited and incomplete condition. Dealing with the colonial archive is not merely about stories of the past but also about the history of the present, and how it is interrupted by the past. — Irene Hilden, in conversation with New
