The Archive in Motion explores the current proliferation of the concept of the archive. The concept has expanded into areas beyond the classical archive, to art, philosophy, and new textual and media practices. Simultaneously, these new practices both resist and transform the archival impulse, perhaps creating what one could call a new anarchival condition. Archival concepts and practices have been transformed under the impact of the radical changes in writing and recording technologies that have taken place over the last 150 years, and particularly with the introduction of digital technologies. Film, video, television, sound recording, computers, the Internet and new mobile media seem to have instigated a general storage mania and a proliferation of both public and private archival practices. These technologies not only challenge traditional notions of the permanence and stability of the archival document, but they also introduce a wide range of new questions concerning exactly what it means to store information for future use. This collection of essays by the acclaimed international scholars and curators, Alexander Galloway (New York University), Wolfgang Ernst (Humboldt University), Knut Ove Eliassen (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), Susanne Østby Sæther (Fotogalleriet, Oslo), Trond Lundemo (University of Stockholm), Terje Rasmussen and Kjetil Jakobsen (both University of Oslo), is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of archives and the diversity of archival practices and reflections today. The preface is written by the National Librarian of Norway Vigdis Moe Skarstein and the introduction by the editor Eivind Røssaak(The National Library of Norway).

Thor Heyerdahl (1914 2002) became world-famous with his 1947 Kon-Tiki expedition across the Pacific on a balsa raft. He followed with other expeditions the Ra and Ra II and the Tigris and also organized numerous archaeological digs in unexpected places. His books have sold millions of copies. Less known is Heyerdahl s interest in the Caucasus, which was first triggered by a visit to Azerbaijan where he saw the boat petroglyphs in Gobustan. As a result, Heyerdahl was convinced there had been migrations between this region and his homeland in Scandinavia. He found confirmation in Snorri Sturluson s medieval saga about Odin s journey from the Caucasus. Thor Heyerdahl s Search for Odin deals with issues related to Heyerdahl s insistence on early man s relationship between the two regions, which was discussed at the Thor Heyerdahl Conference (Baku 2011) by experts in fields such as archaeology, history, music and philology. The forum was a cooperative effort between universities in Azerbaijan and Norway and served as a catalyst in the creation of this book, which documents much of the research to date related to Heyerdahl s theory both supportive, as well as critical, of it. The continued exploration of the merits of Thor Heyerdahl s theories, however controversial they might be, is a worthy tribute to his lasting legacy. His enduring courage in challenging conventional wisdom should remain an example to us all. - Espen Barth Eide Minister of Foreign Affairs of Norway, 2012 2013
