Archiveology by Catherine Russell
Catherine Russell uses the work of Walter Benjamin to explore how the practice of archiveologythe reuse, recycling, appropriation, and borrowing of archival sounds and imagesby filmmakers provides ways to imagine the past and the future.
"Archiveology opens up yet more rich and very pertinent questions relating to film-making as an archival practice in which themes of time, memory and imagination are fluidly interwoven and fleshed out as new cinematic experiences" -- Davina Quinlivan * Times Higher Education *
"Archiveology is a refreshing for film archivists looking to expand their horizons and better understand potential users. . . . Catherine Russell’s masterful explanations ensure that the book remains accessible to readers from all disciplines." -- Kristen E. Muenz * Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies *
"Archiveology offers insightful analyses enlightened by Benjamin's legacy. . . . Catherine Russell adds authority to a new model of cultural intelligibility that we can use to rescue voices relegated to oblivion." -- Cesar Ustarroz * Found Footage *
"Archiveology is. . . one of the few books of film theory and criticism that takes Benjamin seriously in all of his complexity, and, more importantly and innovatively, shows us the mechanics of what one can do with the concepts in an era of disturbingly unstable media." -- Joshua Wiebe * Film and History *
