This film in books and research
Time-image research chapters
Archives preserve materials while later history changes their evidentiary meaning
Bearing Time Chinese DOCX, paragraphs 584–655.
Claim: An archive’s temporality comes from the institutional chain of filming, naming, classifying, storing, accessing, and reusing.
What to watch for: Record source, gap, access condition, version, and later interpreter for every item; absence is itself an archival fact.
Time-image research chapters
How unnamed, unreturned, and unaccounted-for deaths organize the present
Bearing Time Chinese DOCX, paragraphs 879–950.
Claim: The dead continue to organize the living’s time; a corpse, funeral, or ghost does not automatically make a death-image.
What to watch for: Record who is placed, omitted, or exposed to a second death; treat mourning as an institutional relation, not a mood.
