A relação entre o arquivo e as artes performativas tem vindo a ocupar um lugar de destaque no pensamento contemporâneo, desdobrando-se em diversas vertentes: o arquivo como processo, a performatividade do arquivo, o arquivo das práticas e o arquivo como prática. Este volume agrega perspetivas sobre o que constitui o arquivo na contemporaneidade, mostrando como este se constrói, dissolve e simultaneamente se materializa em formas de memória e em experiências incorporadas. O arquivo apresenta-se assim como uma categoria que se multiplica no discurso de colecionadores, arquivistas, investigadores, programadores, artistas e espectadores. Como universo plural, presente no discurso filosófico e historiográfico, traduz-se em documentos e em enunciados, continuamente arquivado e revificado, num movimento em se perdem e se ganham histórias. A leitura do índice deste livro é reveladora da abrangência temática e do olhar panorâmico que se procura lançar sobre as práticas de arquivo, em diversas inscrições disciplinares (performance, dança, teatro, música), em contexto nacional e em diálogo internacional.
