The Development Of Left-wing and Right-wing Parties In Post-Communist Central and Eastern Europe

    The Western Connect: Comparing Indian and Hindu Nationalism 

The Western Connect: Comparing Indian and Hindu Nationalism

    In What Sense Can Archives Be Viewed As Political Institutions?

In What Sense Can Archives Be Viewed As Political Institutions?

Aarti Malhotra

Historical archives have been an integral part of looking back and understanding the political past for centuries, but whether archives have the potential to shape the political present is unclear.

In an increasingly digitised world, it is no understatement that data is the highest-valued currency. If data is power, then archives stand unbowed. Still, a question lingers: are archives only powerful from a purely material approach or do they have considerable political implications as well? This paper […]
