Contre Rôles

The planned study reconstructs the biographies of one migrant and prisoner of war as an effect of bureaucratic procedures. While forms are interpreted as places of communication, which in modern societies were used for declaration, application, legitimization, classification and movement (in the administrative and logistical sense), contre rôles are the directories and books used by nation states (population control), military bureaucracies (war registers) and companies (accounting) to produce valid and effective files.
