Sumario:This paper presents some reflections on the archive and its metaphors: the past asa figure of extraction, the secrecy as a limit of discourse, the silencing as an elusive task of history. The relationship between archive and the disciplining of alterity, archive and the administration of populations, are worked upon ideas of connection, loss and story. The text addresses the archive as consignment (ordering), as a place (of enunciation) and as a strategic locus (of the archivist). Nevertheless, this locus is always haunted by the appearance of an out of text which, while giving it existence, threatens the very authority of the archive.
