摘要

希望唤起读者对他们自己与失踪或难以辨认的遭遇的记忆,这篇视觉文章突出了来自档案馆的代表神秘的材料。有些文本难倒了档案馆的众包转录努力,有些是身份不明的人的照片,有些是被损坏、毁坏或丢失的手稿,比如从艺术家的日记中撕下来的几页,或者一封只有附言的信。人们可以忧郁地看待这些物体,认为它们代表着永远无法弥合的知识鸿沟。他们提出了关于任何档案的局限性的问题,以及我们作为学者所做的工作的必要的不完整性。然而,由于无法还原为事实——我们可以说,没有发挥它们的作用——我认为,难以解读或难以理解的档案材料可能会对研究人员产生影响,而易读材料则不会。

Indecipherable
Hoping to evoke in readers memories of their own encounters with the missing or illegible, this visual essay highlights materials from across the Archives that represent mysteries. There are texts that have stumped the Archives’ crowdsourced attempts to transcribe them, photographs of unidentified people, and manuscripts that have been damaged, destroyed, or lost, such as torn out pages from an artist’s diary or a letter consisting of only the postscript. One could regard these objects with melancholy, as representing gaps in knowledge that may never be bridged. They raise questions about the limits of any archive, and the necessary incompleteness of the work we do as scholars. However, by being irreducible to facts—by, we might say, not doing their job—I argue that indecipherable or incomprehensible archival materials may assert a hold on the researcher that legible materials do not.
