Genres of the trace: memory, archives and troubleFootnote11. This essay is based on a paper entitled ‘Memory, Archive and Trouble’, the keynote address at the Archives Society of Alberta conference, ‘Memory in Archive, Archive of Memory’, in Calgary, May 2012. I am grateful to the following friends and colleagues for their readings of early drafts of that paper – Terry Cook, Chandre Gould, Carolyn Hamilton, Kerry Harris and Emily Sommers, as I am to the Archives and Manuscripts referees for their readings of the later essay version. Elements of the piece were used for the paper ‘Deconstructing “the Tattoo”’, presented at the Society of American Archivists’ 2012 Annual Conference, ‘Beyond Borders’, San Diego, August 2012. Feedback on the latter impacted on the final re-write of the essay. The views expressed in the essay are those of the author and do not represent those of the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory.
