This project is an international interdisciplinary endeavor that combines the literary and cultural studies perspective with that of history, anthropology, sociology, literature, political science, and cultural studies. Therefore, the conference organized at Stony Brook will bring together scholars from different disciplines: history, sociology, philosophy, cultural studies, literature, anthropology, law studies, political science, the arts and digital humanities.The objective of this international conference, “On Archival Truth,” is to allow researchers to keep thinking about the social role of the archives in the contemporary culture, in both scientific and public contexts. How can we work with the archive to understand our present? We aim to create a space in which we will have both a theoretical approach to the notion of archive and a practical set of “case studies” through which we can understand the tensions that one can encounter in an archive, between private and public, individual and collective, between what one reads in an archive and what one writes about the archive. This theoretical and practical approaches will be possible thanks to our interdisciplinary approach and collaboration: from specialists in philosophy and sociology to specialists in cultural studies, history, anthropology and literature.
