Abstract
This article considers two contemporary cultural preoccupations – brains and archives – in the light of Samuel Beckett’s work. It sees these not so much as a pseudocouple but twins proper, connected by their recourse to materiality. It addresses the experience of working with archival material, and concentrates particularly on the effects of handling Beckett’ s handwriting; the contact that this creates and how we can account for it. It fina lly turns to the theory of the extended mind, and considers the implications of this theory for our work and our accounts of physical culture
