These essays challenge scholars to engage with their affective experience of being in the archive, illuminating how the space of the archive requires a different kind of deeply personal, embodied research..Subject - Topical Name: Homosexuels -- Histoire -- Sources | Études sur le genre Subject: archive | recherche incarnée | engagement | mémoire vivante | archive vivante | queer
