Archives in wartime, Archives Wars in the 20th and 21th Centuries. Authority, Identity, Vulnerability
Pouvoirs n°153 - Les Archives - avril 2015 - p.25-36
While the burning and looting of archives have been a constant feature of revolutions and conflicts, it is during the 19th and 20th centuries that the spoliation and the seizure of documents, but also the immediate archiving of events, became important stakes in international, colonial or domestic wars. The present reflexion follows two underlying themes: it perceives archives as tools of power for modern States; it also looks at the role played by archives in identity constructions. These two themes are crossed in an attempt to build a typology of the forms of vulnerability of archives. Would it be possible to refer to a paradigm endangered by the ushering of an era of total digital archiving?
