In drawing connections between body and archive, essayists consider how and why the moving body generates and stores information for recall, retrieval, or reenactment. Collectively, the writers address issues of history, memory, and agency, but the knowing body, performed or reenacted, remains a focal point.
“The Sentient Archive summons a feast of diverse voices, giving each the space to speak without forcing them into a single chorus." — Elizabeth A. Behnke, creator of the Study Project in Phenomenology of the Body.
