Abstract
To study an archive or archival materials is to engage in an affective and critical practice involved in the construction of memory. The Lexicon for an Affective Archive, edited by Giulia Palladini and Marco Pustianaz and published by Intellect/LADA (2017) is an international collection of these encounters, offering glimpses into the intimate relations developed in the process of finding, remembering, imagining, or creating an archive. Bringing together artistic and scholarly voices from a variety of fields, this volume proposes the idea of "affective archive" as a conceptual tool to interrogate an expanded notion of archive and its central role in the contemporary visual and performing arts.
