• Currently, new perspectives have emerged, allowing a reevaluation and expansion of the notion of orphanhood in relation to archives.
  This goes beyond issues of authorship and ownership, embracing a critical and activist vision that contemplates alternative definitions impacting both the public and private spheres. On the other hand, technological developments that are increasingly prevalent in our daily lives, specifically machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), are leading us to question the concept of archiving, the dynamics of orphaning or recreating, and the role of memory in the digital environment.
