Archival Silences in Corporate Culture Ethics in Uganda: A Decolonial Hermeneutic Analysis of Institutional Memory and Counter-Narrative

Rather than treating archives as neutral repositories, the analysis advances a decolonial hermeneutic method that reads institutional records against the grain to expose the epistemic violence embedded in their formation. The central claim is that corporate culture ethics in Uganda cannot be adequately theorised or practised without a critical reckoning with the archival conditions under which corporate memory is produced, preserved and erased. The contribution is conceptual and methodological, offering a framework for treating archival practice as a site of ethical reflection rather than mere technical administration. The article concludes that a decolonial archival consciousness is indispensable for any credible corporate culture ethics in postcolonial African contexts.
