Outstanding work on the archive-as-engine framework. The progression from survival to resistance to cultural renewal maps precisely onto how counter-narratives actually build institutional pressure over time. What really got me was the point about archives creating ethical vocabularies - terms like "bureaucratic evasion" don't just describe problems, they make those problems legible and actionable. I dunno if people realize how much current reform movements depend on having the langauge to name what was previously just felt as diffuse injustice.
