Today makes a decade since my grandmother, Vena Browne, died. In honor of her memory--and where we, her descendants--stand in relation to it, Im starting an interactive transcription project, wherein listeners are invited to collaborate with me as I attempt to transcribe the conversation. On its own, the recording is a wonderful archive--and worth listening to purely for the pleasure of it--but I believe theres more to learn with a closer examination of what we may take for granted. This is the kind of work I refer to when I use the term vernacular archiving. And it is why there can be no meaningful separation of intellectual activity and emotional investment in the articulation of who we are (and aspire to be) in these times.
