The Gospel of Philip K. Dick & thepostarchive

August 14, 2021 1:06 AM

The Gospel of Phillip K. Dick from thepostarchive, the latter of which is an incredible and ongoing labor of love compiled by a self described ''NB PoC trying archivist collecting between and through institutions."

Wherein you can find for now, among some three hundreds of others, the following:

Nikki Giovanni interviews Muhammad Ali

Malcom X in Los Angeles May 5th, 1962:
Who taught you to hate yourself?

Judith Butler -- Philosophical Encounters of the Third Kind

Stuart Hall: Race the Floating Signifier (1997)

Sun Ra All Stars and the Sun Ra Orchestra with Archie Shepp Berlin 10/291983

W.B. Dubois -- The Atlanta Years

Hannah Arendt: Warheit und Politik

...to name but a few of oh so many.

And the poets: Sylvia Plath, Ann Sexton, Amiri Baraka, W.H. Auden, E.E. Cummings, Rita Dove, to name but a very few. The mind reels, the intellect stands abashed.

You have no idea as yet to what an endless exploding cornucopia of historical hipster delights thepostarchive is. Wander about, go explore -- you will be amazed at what you find.

Looks neat. What is a “trying archivist”?

I read “trying” as the verb and “archivist collecting” as the task being undertaken.
