LOCATION:REC A2.14 DESCRIPTION:Beyond history as a discipline, scholars have increasingly turn ed to archives to portray richer portraits of the past. However, how are th ese records contemporarily framed, how are novel theoretical approaches app lied, and how might this data be utilized in contemporary research? This pa nel aims to explore the ways in which scholars have attempted to wield Fren ch Colonial archival data through unconventional theoretical approaches and /or fieldwork in Vietnam.\n\nUsing government reports, court reports, medic al files, ethnographies, and/or visual media, panelists have exhumed fragme nts of the past to investigate compelling phenomena, livelihoods, and archi val absences. This panel attempts to answer the following questions: How mi ght contemporary theory shed new light on vintage data? May new theoretical frameworks be easily applied from other disciplines, or must it be ‘built upon the shoulders of giants’? Looking beyond history as the sole disciplin e for archival research, in what ways can scholars from different disciplin es challenge one another to use these sources in innovative applications? H ow might archival data be used to investigate the past within living memory ? In what ways can archival data inform the future? How have citizens of Vi etnam or officials responded to unearthed archival relics? With increasing accessibility to the Vietnamese archives and new fonds being released aroun d the world, what are novel research inquiries that were previously unachie vable?\n\nAcknowledging the complexity and challenges of integrating archiv al data with contemporary theory and fieldwork, panelists with backgrounds in history, anthropology, and geography will present their respective findi ngs and how they have navigated such precarities while conducting longitudi nal research based in Vietnam.
