Material Culture in Transit: Theory and Practice: Routledge Studies in Anthropology and Museums

Editat de Zainabu Jallo
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 oct 2024
Material Culture in Transit: Theory and Practice constellates curators and scholars actively working with material culture within academic and museal institutions through theory and practice. The rich collection of essays critically addresses the multivalent ways in which mobility reshapes the characteristics of artefacts, specifically under prevailing issues of representation and colonial liabilities. The volume attests to material culture as central to understanding the repercussions of problematic histories and proposes novel ways to address them. It offers valuable reading for scholars of anthropology, museum studies, history and others with an interest in material culture.

Recenzii

"Material Culture in Transit offers a provocative reflection on the relationship between mobility and materiality, things and their social and historical trajectories. Starting with recent controversial public debates on museum inventories—salient questions on provenance and restitution—the book challenges the relative insularity of some of these debates. A key contribution of this essay collection, as I see it, is that it situates the circulation of museum objects—now at the center of so-called “provenance research”—within broader forms of material culture circulation. It explores what emerges along the paths of circulating things." - George Paul Meiu, University of Basel
