On the leading edge of trauma and archival studies; this timely book engages with the recent growth in visual projects that respond to the archive; focusing in particular on installation art. It traces a line of argument from practitioners who explicitly depict the archive (Samuel Beckett; Christian Boltanski; Art Language; Walid Raad) to those whose materials and practices are archival (Miros?aw Ba?ka; Jean-Luc Godard; Silvia Kolbowski; Boltanski; Atom Egoyan). Jones considers in particular the widespread nostalgia for lsquo;archivalrsquo; media such as analogue photographs and film. He analyses the innovative strategies by which such artefacts are incorporated; examining five distinct types of archival practice: the intermedial; testimonial; personal; relational and monumentalist.
