ABSTRACT This paper argues that in conflict zones like Jammu and Kashmir, the embodied stories of Kashmiris punctuate the past, often silenced by dominant Indian narratives. Narratives about certain key political events in the region's past co-exist with other forms of memory. Kashmiris weave these stories to make sense of the present, build connections to the past, and stake claims for the future. They build and nourish an archive based on lived experience, keeping a record of past wrongs. Novels, anecdotes and underground literature form part of this embodied archive, and provide a resource for recovering stories that remain silent in institutional archives which serve the interests of power. These interests are visible through restrictions on access to institutional archives, and demonstrate the effects of power and the overall politics of archives.

在“冲突区”进行研究：查Jam和克什米尔的历史写作和档案（im）可能性

摘要本文认为，在诸如查mu和克什米尔邦这样的冲突地区，克什米尔人的具体故事打断了过去，而印度的主流叙事往往将其沉默。关于该地区过去某些关键政治事件的叙述与其他形式的记忆并存。克什米尔人编织了这些故事，以把握当下，与过去建立联系并为未来争取利益。他们根据实际经验建立和滋养档案，记录过去的过失。小说，轶事和地下文学构成了这个体现出来的档案的一部分，并提供了一种资源来恢复在为权力利益服务的机构档案中保持沉默的故事。通过限制对机构档案的访问可以看出这些兴趣，
