FOUCAULT Michel - Archaeology of Knowledge

"History in its traditional form sought to 'commemorate' the monuments of the past, to transform them into documents, and to make those traces speak, which themselves are often non-verbal or say silently something other than they seem to say. Today, history is what transforms documents into monuments and what reveals-where one reads the traces that people left behind, where one tries to guess in the dark what they were-a collection of elements to be isolated, divided into groups, valorized, arranged in relationships, and put together as a whole."
