Gap between neural memory and social location of memory.
Formerly (Humanist perspective): The Archive as obejctive tool to preserve the "prestige of the past" (Halbwachs) in the form of documents. The idea of document in that context has since then gained a wider and wider sense. Documents can now beartifacts, monuments or even parts of a city. Here the document's inherent spirit is the driving force of the archive. Thus the archive is sacralized, resulting in a split of memory and desire.
