Rot: The loss, decay and melancholia of the archival feminist object

A collection edited by Marusya Bociurkiw


This edited collection seeks proposals from scholars, artists, and activists on the topic of lost and decaying feminist archives: their contradictory meanings and/or their regeneration and remediation – for perhaps another trauma of the feminist archive is the absence of nuanced, and complicated histories of past feminist politics. This incomplete historicism can lead to instantiation of oppressive hierarchies into official feminist memory. Please see full CFP attached.
