Drawing on his own recent and ongoing archival work, Seamus O'Malley will explore the relationship between labor, power, and archival material. What are the challenges to producing scholarship with the modernist archive? How do sites of publication shape archival materials? How does the archival publishing process generate power and academic capital?
