Disputed Archival Heritage brings important new perspectives into the discourse on displaced archives. In contrast to shared or joint heritage framings, the book considers the implications of force, ...violence and loss in the displacement of archival heritage. With chapters from established and emerging scholars in archival studies, Disputed Archival Heritage extends and enriches the conversation that started with the earlier volume, Displaced Archives. Advancing novel theories and methods for understanding disputes and claims over archives, the volume includes chapters that focus on Indigenous records in settler colonial states; literary and community archives; sub-national and private sector displacements; successes in repatriating formerly displaced archives; comparisons with cultural objects seized by colonial powers and the relationship between repatriation and reparations. Analysing key concepts such as joint heritage and provenance, the contributors unsettle Western understandings of records, place and ownership. Disputed Archival Heritage speaks to the growing interest in shared archival heritage, repatriation of cultural artefacts and cultural diasporas. As such, it will be a useful resource for academics, students and practitioners working in the field of archives, records and information management, as well as cultural property and heritage management, peace and conflict studies and international law.

Questo volume si inserisce in una linea di riflessione che, nella sua fisionomia generale, va ricondotta all'ampio dibattito, nazionale ed internazionale, sui temi connessi alle trasformazioni ...dell'identità della biblioteca e della biblioteca pubblica in particolare, secondo una prospettiva che è anche quella della “lunga durata”, prendendo in esame questioni che hanno a che fare con la dimensione spaziale di questa problematica identità, o che comunque dal concetto di spazio, nella sua indefinita dimensione teorica, estetica, metaforica, traggono origine. A questo asse centrale del libro si collegano ulteriori temi, dalla discussione della evoluzione in senso ‘sociale' della biblioteconomia alla riflessione storico-architettonica sul concetto di ‘canone', dalla ipotesi di “arricchire” lo spazio percettivo della biblioteca fino al tema, di grande interesse, della selezione, raccolta ed analisi dei dati digitali.
Dati che, in quanto tracce, rendono disponibili informazioni sulle azioni e sulle attività riferibili al modo con cui le persone “leggono” la forma dell'ambiente bibliotecario e del suo complesso ecosistema informativo. Testo dell'editore
