Haskins, Ekaterina. "Between Archive and Participation: Public Memory in a
\nDigital Age." RSQ<\/i> 37.4 (2007): 401-422.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Opening premise: public memory work must consider the digital archive.
\nHaskins writes, "This article proposes to examine memorial functions of the
\ninternet in light of recent scholarly debates about virtues and drawbacks of
\nmodern ‘archival memory’ as well as the paradoxical link between the
\ncontemporary public obsession with memory and the acceleration of amnesia"
\n(401).<\/p>\n

Section I: Archival Memory and Its Discontents, 402-405
\nThe curatorial quandary (who does the keeping, why, and who decides what is
\npreserved) pervades institution-led archiving ventures. Public memory has
\nthroughout the twentieth century merged with monumentality and "narratives of
\nvictory and valor" (403). Digitization confuses the once-tidy roles of the
\nremoved observer-celebrant and the monolithic cast of official memory. Haskins
\nidentifies the Vietnam War Memorial in D.C. as an example of a participatory
\nmonument because "its polished black surface reflects the visitor’s image and
\nits modest scale allows one to reach out and touch the names inscribed on the
\nwall" (404). Accessible, ongoing participation function to "guard against
\nthe tin dangers of ideological reification and amnesia," Haskins contends (405).<\/p>\n

Section II: Promises and Problems of Digital Memory, 405-408
\nHaskins does not come down firmly in favor of or in doubt of digital memorial
\nprojects in this section, but instead she builds parallel accounts of the
\npromises ("public engagement," "representational diversity," "collective
\nauthorship," and "interactivity") and problems ("rapid obsolescence,"
\ncompromised "historical consciousness," impermanence). Haskins concludes
\nthis is a "mixed bag," that even while traditional keepers of official memory
\nare watching as digitization attracts unprecedented energy and interest, digital
\narchives are not without limitations. Haskins writes, "It is one thing to
\ncollect and digitize large quantities of memorial artifacts; it is quite another
\nto display them in ways that stimulate not only spectatorship but also
\nmeaningful participation" (408). This is a point worth keying on, even if
\n"meaningful participation" deserves more unpacking and elaboration.<\/p>\n

A brief discussion of blogging as "self-memorialization" appears on 407-408.
\nTagging practices<\/i> as an alternative to the narrowing effect (blogging as
\n"sav[ing] the most trivial details of one’s past" (407))?<\/p>\n

"If archival preservation and retrieval are not balanced by mechanisms that
\nstimulate participatory engagement, electronic memory may lead to
\nself-congratulatory amnesia" (407). I am interested in pairing this word of
\ncaution from Haskins with a comment from North: "Composition’s collective fund
\nof knowledge is a very fragile entity" (2). What are the mechanisms that
\nwould stimulate participatory engagement in "composition’s collective fund of
\nknowledge"? Wikis? Forums? Tagging? We have systems of archival preservation and
\nretrieval, but have they been properly balanced<\/i>? If they have not,
\nhave we, then, experienced anything that could be described as
\n"self-congratulatory amnesia"? And what are the symptoms of this
\n"self-congratulatory" variety of amnesia? Too many questions to untangle
\nright now, but one of the most useable threads (for me) in this article is
\ncounterpart to its discussion of digital archives of such prominent status as
\nthe September 11 Digital Archive (how much monumentality does it inherit from
\nthe affected structures themselves?): take similar propositions to the more
\nmundane digital archives–those whose participation is not as *P*ublic or
\npulsatile.<\/p>\n

Section III: Between Archive and Public Participation: The September 11
\nDigital Archive, 408-418
\nMemorial gestures moved from the streets to online spaces and consisted of an
\noverabundance of "vernacular" fragments. Here Haskins details the
\nmulti-institution initiative to build the September 11 Digital Archive<\/i>, a
\nproject that "epitomizes inclusiveness, which is made possible in no small
\ndegree by the interactive capacities of electronic media" (410). There is much
\ndescription here of the archive, the various pieces assembled in it (personal
\nnarratives, political interchange, photographs, nostalgia, etc.).<\/p>\n

Section IV: Conclusion, 418-419
\n"Online memorializing, thanks to technology’s capacity for virtually unlimited
\nstorage and potential to engage many diverse audiences in content production,
\nappears to mitigate against the ideological ossification associated with
\nofficial memory practices and the fragility of vernacular memory gestures"
\n(418).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
