COLLECTED BY

Organization: Archive Team

BERJAYA

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.

The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.

This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.

Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.

The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.

In "Lawrence, Dostoevsky, Bakhtin: Lawrence and Dialogic Fiction," Lodge concedes that such ploys often amount to "a rather convenient 'loophole' . . . through which writers not obviously recognizable as carnivalesque, such as Dostoevski and Lawrence, can nevertheless be accommodated with that tradition. . . ." It is a shortcoming that Lodge himself does not altogether escape here. The critic who seems most fully aware of the pros and cons of a "dialogic" approach is Fleishman, whose "Lawrence and Bakhtin: Where Pluralism Ends and Dialogism Begins" is the most probing and suggestive essay of the lot. Fleishman manages to avoid the defensiveness implicit in several other "dialogic" attempts at absolving Lawrence from responsibility for his discomfiting doctrines. He asks:

The author then collected the first three in a single volume in 1938, before adding "The Leader of the People" when the book was reissued in 1945. For better or worse, the piecemeal origins of their composition and publication remain evident in the lack of overall narrative continuity and the redundancy of expository information about characters and setting. Yet despite the vestiges of their origins, the stories manage to achieve a degree of composite unity in the recurrent focus on young Jody Tiflin's initiation.

The novel's failure, however, was instructive, freeing him from destructive obsessions and enabling a renewal of creative energies in "Lady Chatterly's Lover" and other works toward the end of his career.
