Web archive to study the polyvocal Interpretation of Contested Colonial Heritage - Panel Session

Résumé

This panel explores how web archives can serve as a critical resource for studying the polyvocal interpretation of colonial heritage. As colonial archives and materials become increasingly accessible online, they are subject to public debate and contestation. Information professionals and researchers must develop new skills to engage with these materials in a critical and inclusive manner, whether through access, restoration, or reinterpretation. The French team of the PICCH project (Polyvocal Interpretation of Contested Colonial Heritage), coordinated by Sophie Gebeil (TELEMMe, AMU), focuses on audiovisual and digital mediations of the colonial past. In partnership with the INA (National Audiovisual Institute), the team investigates television archives, web archives, and the MMSH Media Library collections. This interdisciplinary approach combines archival science, contemporary history, and digital humanities, including the use of AI-based tools for corpus analysis. The panel presents three perspectives on using the web as a research material: archival, historical, and computational. Véronique Ginouvès (CNRS, MMSH) discusses the online publication and citation of colonial audiovisual archives. Christine Mussard (IREMAM, AMU) examines the web as a source for studying schooling during the Algerian War. Davide Rendina (Centrale Supélec Paris – AMU) shares the results of his Master’s thesis, which applies automated text analysis to INA’s web archives on the 1983 March for Equality and Against Racism. This session is part of the broader PICCH project, funded by the ANR under the JPI Cultural Heritage and Global Change initiative, and coordinated internationally by Daniela Petrelli (Sheffield Hallam University), Alexander Badenoch (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam), Pia Borlund (OsloMet), and Sérgio Paulo (VoiceInteraction, Portugal). The French team’s contribution includes the creation of a dedicated seminar titled “Capturing the Polyvocality of Audiovisual and Digital Archives in a Postcolonial Context”, which brings together archivists, researchers, artists, and civil society actors to critically engage with colonial heritage through participatory and creative practices.
