"'What the Suffering was Like': Digital Affect in the ACT UP Oral History Project
Remembrance: A Journal of Queer Culture, Information, and Preservation
Abstract
This article considers The ACT UP Oral History Project as an affective site that renders visible the impact of loss and suffering. Focusing on the archive’s filmic and computer-mediated interviews, and placing both in conversation with memory and queer identity studies, I demonstrate that the Oral History Project, as a discursive space, invites its audience into a felt physical contact with grief, loss, anger, and rage.
