AO: This quote from Carotenuto and Luongo (2005) frames the archives and those who use it as part of "resurgent civil society" and positions the archives as a space where the politics of knowledge (production) are recognized and contested by "ordinary citizens" (through their use of the historical sources and production of new knowledge?).
KNA is equally a part of a resurgent civil society in which ordinary citizens increasingly assert their rights to gain access to information and recognize their stakes in the use and production of knowledge. (page 446)
