Experimental Histories and Alternative Archives
Project Member(s): Hurley, A.
Funding or Partner Organisation: Australian Technology Network of Universities (ATN-DAAD - Germany Joint Research Co-operation Scheme)
Start year: 2015
Summary: This project will explore the nexus between an experimental historiographical method and the opening up of alternative possibilities via an analysis of experimental representations of and engagements with the past in the form of multimedia texts, literature, objects, letters and the environment. In particular, we are interested in interrogating the role that the creation of alternative archives can play in both redeeming marginalised aspects of the past and opening up spaces within which the possibilities of the past and the future can be re-imagined and re-explored. In drawing together leading scholars from Australia and Germany within the field of Cultural Studies, this project will forge new thinking about modes of writing and representing history that are both inclusive and acutely aware of the inventive nature of what it means to know the past in the present.
