The Enthusiastic Archive. Leire Vergara
Jacques Derrida, in a lecture entitled, The concept of the Archive: a Freudian impression, delivered in London in 1994 as part of the international symposium Memory: The Question of Archives, spoke of the archive as a structural fault related to the exercise of memory, on the basis that the spur of death in itself represents the threat and the motor that moves desire through the register of reality. When the lecture was published, Derrida decided to change the title to Archive Fever: A Freudian Impression1.
