The belief that all appraisal is local and subjective,1 without acknowledging the digital world breaking down previous spatial barriers? Finally, post-modernism2 points out that we are all prisoners of our subjectivity (or appearance3) incapable from escaping the shadows in the cave. Raising the specter of a subjectivity having a totalitarian control, making us seem victims of ourselves. Regardless of the many questions that must be addressed, I propose a continued improvement of our archival causality as a way of breaking the supposed subjective/objective (post-modernist) impasse. In the mean time, all of these questions will be carried over into the new temporal and spatial contexts, with seemingly no answers. (I briefly touched on some of these points in a previous blog, History and Future of Archival Thought and Practice.) [...]
