摘要女权主义者和酷儿对档案和档案理论的接触强调了档案过程的情感维度，特别是当档案涉及被边缘化的人和亲密生活时，档案的意义和位置。在澳大利亚和加拿大等定居者殖民背景下，这些关于档案的思维方式对应对土著儿童被驱逐、制度化和虐待的历史产生了影响。这篇文章调查了女权主义与档案和历史学接触在“调和”殖民者殖民国家方面的重要性，并关注了档案争论的地点。影响公共文化形成的女权主义历史模式需要考虑到在“和解”的殖民者殖民国家中，关于档案记录是否适当的不同观点。土著人民对国家和机构档案的不信任，要求控制档案和采取法律行动销毁记录，以及建立独立的档案，所有这些都促成了定居者殖民档案非殖民化的重要和令人担忧的进程。
ABSTRACT Feminist and queer engagements with archives and archival theory have emphasised the affective dimensions of archival processes, particularly the meaning and place of archives when they concern marginalised people and intimate lives. In settler colonial contexts such as Australia and Canada, these ways of thinking about archives have been influential in responding to histories of removal, institutionalisation and abuse of Indigenous children. This article investigates the importance of feminist engagements with archives and historiography in ‘reconciling’ settler colonial states, with attention to sites of archival contention. Feminist modes of history that foreground affect in the formation of public culture need to take account of divergent views regarding the propriety of archival records in ‘reconciling’ settler colonial states. Indigenous peoples’ mistrust of state and institutional archives, demands for control of archives and legal actions for destruction of records, as well as establishment of autonomous archives, all contribute to the important and fraught process of decolonising settler colonial archives.
