KIRSTEN WELD, Paper Cadavers: The Archives of Dictatorship in Guatemala
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
In Terry Cook's article The Archive(s) Is a Foreign Country, he laments that the archives "is a foreign country to many historians.Of course, it is one they visit frequently but perhaps mainly as tourists passing through, focusing on their guidebooks, intent on capturing appealing views, but overlooking their surroundings, not talking to the local inhabitants about what they do, thus failing to understand the country's real character and animating soul." 1 Paper Cadavers is clear evidence that Kirsten Weld is no tourist, and her book is an exception to the general indifference and disregard that Cook accuses historians of giving the archives and the archivists that work within them.Weld, an assistant professor in the Department of History at Harvard University, has created an institutional history of the secret police archives of Guatemala, looking at the political, social, and financial drivers of its creation.In four sections -Explosions at the Archives, Archives and Counterinsurgency in Cold War Guatemala, Archives and Social Reconstructions in Postwar Guatemala, and Pasts Present and the Future Imperfect -Weld examines the creation of the archives and the archival processes that are carried out therein, articulating the reasons the work done by archivists and other non-professional workers merits attention.She looks at the history of the police force from an organizational history perspective, and through interviews with employees and archivists she presents an oral history of not only the tasks they undertake, but also the effect of their employment on their emotional well-being.She concludes by delving into the roles that archives (as institutions) and archivists play in articulating ideas around memory, subjectivity, and the writing of history.In 2005, the police archives almost literally exploded onto the fraught political landscape of Guatemala.Documents long thought destroyed, or indeed thought never to have existed (as had been claimed during various attempts to gain access to the information), were uncovered during a search for possible flammable materials located near munitions depots.The size of the cache was enormous; over eighty million documents were found mouldering in the outbuildings of the police headquarters in Guatemala City.Upon their discovery, concern for the documents came from many different quarters with many different fears: Would the records quickly disappear now that people knew they were there?Would they physically survive their environment?Would they ever be accessible?Should they be accessible?Although they were "routine" police records, they documented police actions during the civil war and counterinsurgency campaigns carried out between 1960 and 1996 by the Guatemalan police against activists or suspected activists who routinely "disappeared" or were tortured.Many people wanted access to the documents,
