![]() ![]() Like Benjamin, I focus on the process, seeking to re-animate my experience of archiving, and interacting with my own archive of flash mobs. I frame this attempt through the work of Walter Benjamin, whose Unpacking My Library essay serves as the foundation for my initial attempts to discuss and document my archival process of a digital collection. What follows is an initial attempt to do just that, based on my work with flash mob performances, particularly the original eight flash mobs that occurred in New York City in 2003, and the various documents, discussions, and artifacts that exist (or have existed) about them. Yet, despite all this marking a problem emerges, one I encountered throughout the last ten years, as I studied the growing flash mob performance phenomenon and tried to keep track of the various sources I found – personal accounts, photographs, videos, newspaper coverage, interviews, and more – How? How do I construct an archive out of so much information, especially when archiving isn’t really what I set out to do? How do I mark my choices in creating that archive as choices, even as I am making them? How do I deal with vanishing, slippery artifacts – digital files whose authorship is sometimes uncertain and whose existence is unreliable in nature? How do I perform the traces of those artifacts, once vanished, as part of my scholarship? How do I perform, on the page, my own failure to capture items, to back up my own work? Thus I try to mark my choices, so that such work, when it happens, is easier for those who follow me. As I do so, I realize that my choices inevitably limit those scholars who may follow my trail, yet my choices also act as productive spaces for further work – work that extends, questions, and critiques my own. Just as I must find a way to organize and create a narrative of my friend’s digital files, so too must I find a way of organizing and structuring all the materials that makeup my own digital research library. This particular reality of the digital archive is especially relevant to my own research, which focuses on performances created, staged, and often catalogued in both digital and physical spaces, such as flash mobs and other events similar to what Steve Benford and Gabriella Giannachi deem “mixed reality performances” (1). Sorting through my friend’s files reminded me of the multitude of issues unique to archival creation and maintenance in a digital age, as well as how the modern scholar’s research library often exists more on a screen than a shelf. Much of my friend’s research centered on archives and their creation, so I was both touched and daunted by such an important task. The family requested that I sort through my friend’s files and help make sense of them, so they could be of use to other academics interested in similar research topics, as well as more intelligible for family members looking through them in the future. Recently, about a year after the death of a dear friend and fellow academic, I received a hard drive he owned in the mail from a family member. ![]()

He's also in the middle of a wretched slump. M, Machado has been hurt (not really his fault), and his plate discipline has been less desirable compared to the other two (probably his fault). But the conversation is about the other two for a good reason. We really should be talking about him more. If the three youngsters were New York outfielders in the '50s, poor Manny Machado will have to be Duke Snider for a while. ![]() a real baseball player instead of someone from a comic book using baseball as his cover story. Trout hurt? Trout with back problems? Trout having the first extended slump of his career (which he promptly snapped the heck out of)? It's made him seem like. They were just quad problems, nothing that hinted at future calamity.Įxcept there's that baseball reality again. Miguel Cabrera had quad problems several MVPs ago. Except now it's at least worth wondering about that frame, with Trout missing time this year because of hamstring and back problems. At first, that seemed exciting, because we could dream of all that with 50-homer power. ![]() We don't know what Trout is going to look like when he's fully formed. There's also Trout, who is about the size of Mel Ott stuffed into Al Kaline. That bit up there about how Harper is unique because of his production/build combo isn't quite true. Its still ghoulish to point that out, but it doesn't feel inappropriate. There's a reason why Bob Horner went from a preternatural talent to out of baseball before 31, and it had to do with his body not cooperating. Suddenly, Harper has a touch of baseball reality about him. You can't hold his thumb injury (which happened during a slide) against him, but what about the knee surgery and bursitis? It's possible that the build is an issue, or at least something is an issue with Harper's frame. There aren't any great comps, even if you go through history for the Mel Otts and Al Kalines, because there hasn't been a 21-year-old with that kind of combination of production and build. When he's George Springer's age, he'll be a few months from free agency. He would still be the youngest player in the International League. Even if he doesn't get a lick better, he's already fantastic. Harper, when healthy, is a fantastic player already. That is, people who don't understand just how rare it is to see a player as young as Harper to perform as well as he already has, and what the history of baseball wunderkinds tells us. The comments of the ESPN article are filled with people laughing at Bryce Harper going #2. Retro Mike Trout: Making fun of stat dorks Two years later, and everything's the same.Įxcept nothing's the same. Trout, Harper, and Machado were the first three position players taken.
