1. Notions of the Archival in Memory and Deportment

   Notions of the Archival in Memory and Deportment emerged as a response to a discourse of disembodiment prevalent in early days of the Internet. I never believed that the physical gendered body would be subsumed in an idealized information age. Even in our attempts to externalize and expand upon the processes of the brain through the computational and storage capacities of the computer, the precariousness of the biological body persists. Somewhere along the way cultural theory veered away from body politics. Notions of the Archival in Memory and Deportment examines from the inside, not just 'the' body, but also 'my' body in particular. I have focused on the storage and retention of bodily memory in order to explore the relationship and/or disconnect between body and mind that has preoccupied philosophers for generations.
