“…While I do not claim that this selection is in any way exhaustive, I am convinced that it offers the right instruments to reflexively study the reciprocal relationships between historical subjects and technical, as well as medial, systems on the one hand, and cultural practices and social structures on the other (Tanner 2009: 148). This reciprocity also ties in with the conception of the project of historical anthropology as outlined by European ethnologist Silvy Chakkalakal (2018). For Chakkalakal, historical anthropology is not only about decentring European history by means of 'de-familiarising' the view on one's own history.…”

The Berlin Sound Archive (Lautarchiv) consists of an extensive collection of sound recordings, compiled for scientific purposes in the first half of the 20th century. Recorded on shellac are stories and songs, personal testimonies and poems, glossaries and numbers. This book engages with the archive by consistently focusing on the colonial conditions under which the recordings were produced. With a firm commitment to postcolonial scholarship, Absent Presences in the Colonial Archive is a historical ethnography of a metropolitan institution that participated in the production and preservation by colonial structures of power and knowledge. The book examines sound objects and listening practices that render the coloniality of knowledge fragile and inconsistent, revealing the absent presences of colonial subjects who are given little or no place in established national narratives and collective memories.
