Scholarship on translanguaging and related concepts has challenged traditional assumptions about how people use their multiple languages, urging us to move beyond the boundaries of named linguistic codes and toward conceptualizations of multilingual language use as flexible use of a speaker’s whole linguistic repertoire. Critiques of this theoretical shift have included assertions of translanguaging’s conceptual and practical limits—limits to its transformative potential as well as limits to its practical use. This paper takes up, in particular, the question of why we academics may assert the value of translanguaging in schools and communities while still largely failing to move beyond monoglossic …

Historically, the origin of libraries has an intimate association with written records supporting administrative or ritual functions at the palace or temple.

The article ends with a conclusion that there is …

The Living Archive In The Anthropocene, Nora Almeida, Jen Hoyer

This paper presents the concept of the living archive as a system which reflects how social behavior and cultural production are part of the Anthropocene.

The authors refute conceptions of the Anthropocene as a purely biophysical phenomenon that is alienated from cultural practice and of the archive as a comprehensive and nostalgic space. They then introduce the living archive as an alternative representational, creative, and reactive space and illustrate how the living archive can intervene in ecological …

Visualizing Archives And Library Collections, Thomas Cleary
Publications and Research
Archivists and special collections librarians have struggled for a long time with how to show patrons what we have in our holdings. Collections have been made accessible through container lists, finding aids, and collection and content management systems such as ArchivesSpace, Islandora, and CONTENTdm. Each of these documents and systems also has its own learning curve and different functions, but even then the scale of some topics in collections or the connectedness between collections is not always apparent.
This article showcases two projects the author has worked on to assist in creating data visualizations in a library/archives context. The GLAMViz …
