ABSTRACT In 2013, Matthew Kirschenbaum advocated for increased collaboration between digital archivists and digital humanities specialists to make the most out of born-digital archives. Since then, researchers and archivists have experimented with innovative interfaces for access to writer’s archives that emerge from individual research cultures and practices. Simultaneously, archives such as the British Archive for Contemporary Writing (BACW) at the University of East Anglia (UEA) are beginning to collect the work of authors who work in inventive digital ways. This article will therefore explore the following question: how might archivists, authors and researchers profitably collaborate to explore the nature of creativity in the born-digital archive, so that both digital preservation and digital scholarship take place? In doing so, the authors look to the complementary fields of genetic criticism and digital humanities to inform the development of archival tools as ‘hermeneutical instruments’. They will explore how such instruments might allow us to read horizontally across archival strata, building on an ‘esthetic of the possible’ to develop a ‘jouer avec les fonds’, supported through collaboration between researchers, archivists and writers. Finally, the authors consider how this approach challenges archival practices, and propose forms of collaboration that might address both archival practice and emerging forms of scholarship.

法医想象:追踪作家天生数字档案中创造力的跨学科方法

摘要 2013 年,Matthew Kirschenbaum 主张加强数字档案管理员和数字人文专家之间的合作,以充分利用天生的数字档案。从那时起,研究人员和档案管理员开始尝试使用创新的界面来访问来自个人研究文化和实践的作家档案。与此同时,东英吉利大学 (UEA) 的英国当代写作档案馆 (BACW) 等档案馆开始收集以创造性数字方式工作的作者的作品。因此,本文将探讨以下问题:档案工作者、作者和研究人员如何通过合作来探索原生数字档案中创造力的本质,从而实现数字保存和数字学术?在这样做,作者着眼于遗传批评和数字人文学科的互补领域,为档案工具作为“诠释工具”的发展提供信息。他们将探索这些工具如何让我们能够在“可能的审美”的基础上,通过研究人员、档案工作者和作家之间的合作来开发“jouer avec les fons”,从而使我们能够横向阅读档案层。最后,作者考虑了这种方法如何挑战档案实践,并提出了可能解决档案实践和新兴学术形式的合作形式。通过研究人员、档案管理员和作家之间的合作,以“可能的美学”为基础开发“jouer avec les fons”。最后,作者考虑了这种方法如何挑战档案实践,并提出了可能解决档案实践和新兴学术形式的合作形式。通过研究人员、档案管理员和作家之间的合作,以“可能的美学”为基础开发“jouer avec les fons”。最后,作者考虑了这种方法如何挑战档案实践,并提出了可能解决档案实践和新兴学术形式的合作形式。
