Summary/Abstract: The paper inquires whether theconcept of the archive is still relevant for our(post)historical times and can open a newthought on community in the aftermath ofits long and convoluted history. By concen-trating on the glitches of the archive (thecrisis that constantly put it into question),we shift the emphasis from communities tocommons, a term more relevant to our timesdue to its re-enactment of memory and thepossibility of history.
