Along the Archival Grain: Epistemic Anxieties and Colonial Common Sense. Stoler, A. L. Princeton University Press, Princeton, NJ Oxford, 2010. 🏷️ /unread
abstract   bibtex   
Along the Archival Grain offers a unique methodological and analytic opening to the affective registers of imperial governance and the political content of archival forms. In a series of nuanced mediations on the nature of colonial documents from the nineteenth-century Netherlands Indies, Ann Laura Stoler identifies the social epistemologies that guided perception and practice, revealing the problematic racial ontologies of that confused epistemic space. Navigating familiar and extraordinary paths through the lettered lives of those who ruled, she seizes on moments when common sense failed and prevailing categories no longer seemed to work. She asks not what colonial agents knew, but what happened when what they thought they knew they found they did not. Rejecting the notion that archival labor be approached as an extractive enterprise, Stoler sets her sights on archival production as a consequential act of governance, as a field of force with violent effect, and not least as a vivid space to do ethnography. 【摘要翻译】沿着档案的纹理》以独特的方法论和分析方法揭示了帝国治理的情感寄存器和档案形式的政治内容。安-劳拉-斯托尔对 19 世纪荷属印度群岛殖民地文件的性质进行了一系列细致入微的分析,确定了指导认知和实践的社会认识论,揭示了混乱的认识论空间中存在问题的种族本体论。 在统治者的文字生活中,她通过熟悉和非同寻常的路径,抓住了常识失效和主流范畴似乎不再起作用的时刻。她问的不是殖民者知道什么,而是当他们自以为知道却发现不知道时会发生什么。斯托勒反对将档案劳动视为一种榨取性的事业,她将目光投向了档案制作,将其视为一种有后果的治理行为,一种具有暴力效果的力量领域,尤其是一个进行人种学研究的生动空间。
