Douglas’s Quotes

“We cannot bring back to life those whom we find cast ashore in the archives.”
― Arlette Farge, The Allure of the Archives

“Just when you think you have finally discovered the framework underlying the way events unfolded and individuals acted, opaqueness and contradiction begin to creep in. Incongruous spaces emerge with no apparent connection to the landscape that seemed to be taking shape only a few documents earlier.”
― Arlette Farge, The Allure of the Archives

“Seemingly insignificant and unimportant details can reveal what was unspoken and outline lively forms of intelligence and reasoned understandings, interwoven with broken dreams and spent desires.”
― Arlette Farge, The Allure of the Archives

“The archive is a vantage point from which the symbolic and intellectual constructions of the past can be rearranged. It is a matrix that does not articulate "the" truth but rather produces, through recognition as much as through disorientation, the elements necessary to ground a discourse of truth telling that refuses lies.”
― Arlette Farge, The Allure of the Archives

“If the archive is to serve as an effective social observatory, it will only do so through the scattered details which have broken through, and which form a gap-riddled puzzle of obscure events.”
― Arlette Farge, The Allure of the Archives
