Abstract

This article discusses archival practices - production and preservation of archives - in exile contexts in the framework of the project # Echoes. Exile, countering silence: memories, objects and narratives of uncertain times.

            Taking as an empirical corpus a set of interviews with members of the Association of Portuguese Political Exiles (AEP61-7461-74) who were exiled in France, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands during the Estado Novo regime, particularly during the Portuguese Colonial War (1961-1974), we intend to explore the archive as a cultural artefact, a mirror of a specific type of mobility.
