“…Community archivesincluding queer archiveshave capitalized on the availability of digital spaces in order to seek ephemera, to cocurate and to share "a multiplicity of different perspectives, meanings, and contexts around the archival record, including traditionally excluded voices and minority communities (Flinn, 2010;Yakel, 2011)" (Evaleigh, 2017, p. 300). Ann Cvetkovich (2003) cultural criticism, An Archive of Feelings, highlights the relevancy and potency of archiving everyday experiencesincluding traumawithin queer organizing, art-making and activism. Through the visual documentation provided by image-based social media service Instagram, queer punk tattoos have become archives within archives, extending beyond the lifespan of the adorned individual (Rosenberg and Sharp, 2018).…”

PurposeThe authors explore the coproduction of a digital archive with 50 2SLGBTQ+ youth across Atlantic Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to catalyze broader public participation in understanding 2SLGBTQ+ youth-led activism in this place and time through art production.Design/methodology/approachThrough a mail-based participatory visual research project and an examination of collage, zines and DIY facemasks, the authors highlight how the production, sharing and archiving of youth-produced art adds to methodological discussions of exhibiting and digital archiving with 2SLGBTQ+ youth as a form of activist intervention.FindingsIn reflexively examining the cocuration of art through social media and project website, the authors argue that coproducing digital archives is an important part of knowledge mobilization. Also, the authors consider how the work has been interacted with by a broader public, so far in an exclusively celebratory manner and note the benefits and challenges of this type of engagement to the youth and to the understandings of 2SLGBTQ+ youth archives.Originality/valueThe authors suggest that these modes of engaging in participatory visual research at a distance offer original contributions in relation to how participation can be understood in a digital and mail-based project. The authors see participant control of how to share works within digital archives as a contribution to the understanding of people's capacity to negotiate and take ownership of these spaces. These strategies are participant-centered and suggest ways that archiving can be made more accessible, especially when working with communities who are socially marginalized or otherwise excluded from the archival process.

“…39 One of the underlying axioms of this project is that musical compositions, performances, and discourse function as what Cvetkovich has evocatively called-in relation to the cultural texts she studies-an "archive of feelings, " which she defines as "repositories of feelings and emotions, which are encoded not only in the content of the texts themselves but in the practices that surround their production and reception. " 40 Therefore my approach to analyzing music and musical practices combines more traditional methodologies-such as harmonic and modal analysis, analysis of textures and timbres, and analysis of text/ music relationships-with readings of historical traces of previous instances of music making. In all instances of music analysis, I understand musical scores and recordings as traces of embodied, sociocultural practices and movements; this understanding compels me to employ modes of musical analysis that help me to answer the specific questions that I ask about a musical composition, practice, or community, rather than to utilize a priori a particular analytical methodology.…”

Resonant Recoveries

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This introductory chapter outlines the aims of Resonant Recoveries as well as the book’s theoretical and methodological apparatuses. In introducing one of the central arguments of this book—that music came to operate as a corporeal technology of consolation in interwar France—the introduction provides an overview of how late nineteenth- through mid-twentieth-century French artistic, psychological, sociological, and philosophical discourse framed the body as a privileged site for the production and development of knowledge about oneself and the world. In so doing, this introduction provides the socio-historical background for the historical and musical analysis that follows in subsequent chapters while also advocating a specific mode of interdisciplinary research that investigates how music has historically been conceived as a therapeutic, corporeal medium.

“…Trauma's mobility also troubles colonial, capitalist, and hetero-patriarchal understandings of space-time. By challenging dominant orderings of time and space, engagements with trauma can disrupt geopolitical demarcations of territory and historical demarcations of past, present, and future (Cvetkovich 2003). Trauma crosses national borders through communities of migrants, refugees, and captive people, and is passed down intergenerationally in ways that resist forgetting.…”

“…Moving between people as a "relational topology" (Ehrkamp, Loyd and Secor 2019: 126), it makes itself known through "affective eruptions" (Mountz 2017) which connect colonial past to present, exposing histories of structural violence and domination. Trauma also creates what Cvetkovich (2003) terms "public cultures"; or cultural production and affects constituted by the public practices of responding to trauma. Because public cultures of trauma emerge from negotiations, a kind of collective therapeutic and political response to trauma and its meanings, they can both generate and transform communities around experiences of violence (see also Coddington and Micieli-Voutsinas 2017).…”

On and beyond traumatic fallout: unsettling political ecology in practice and scholarship

Franz Fanon poignantly argued that trauma is both an act and a memory of wounding that haunts subjects of violence. Addressing geographies of trauma, and the way that trauma is treated in the discipline of geography, is a matter of both theoretical and practical importance for critical human-environment scholars. However, discussions about uneven and ongoing geographies of trauma and violence – particularly in ways that enroll researchers themselves as agents within these landscapes – have been limited among political ecologists. When broached, these conversations are sometimes short-circuited by post-racial liberalism, whiteness or Eurocentricity, and academic respectability politics. This risks the continuance of logics that separate "researchers" from "communities" and lionize representational commitments to justice over material practices of transformation. In this article, we interrogate some of the theoretical and personal implications for political ecologists working with the legacies of dispossession, disruption, displacement and death. We draw on a wide collective of scholarship on haunting, hope, and geographies of trauma as well as our current work as geographers and educators. In the process, we build an argument for an approach that encourages unsettling, uncomfortable, and generative conversations about and beyond trauma. We end with three suggestions for engaging more substantively with the traumatic fallout that has long been at the center of political ecology.
