Seller's Description:
Good+ (Boards have light edgewear/scuffing/smudging/foxing; interior is clean; binding is solid. ) Ecru / navy blue boards; bw image and lettering. 376 pp. with occasional color and bw images. No. 26 in the Transatlantische Historische Studien (series). A series of 18 articles, 9 in German; 9 in English. Some museums are being dissolved, collections reorganized, and new institutions created. Focusing on France, Germany, Belgium and the United States in the period between the mid-nineteenth century and the present, this essay collection creates an interdisciplinary dialogue between [among] curators, sociologists, anthropologists, historians and art historians. It sheds new light on the manner in which a modern museology negotiates the problematic heritage of the field and finds new ways to exhibit. Sections include: I. Einleitung; II. Ästhetik der Attraktionen: Weltausstellungen und Völkerschauen; III. Das ethnologische Museum heute: Probleme-Projekte-Perspektiven; IV. Kuenstlerische Aneignungen: Ethnologie im Zeichen der Avantgarden; and V. Nachwort. This book is the outcome of a discussion during the conference, Exhibiting the Other: Museums of Mankind and the Politics of Cultural Representation, held November 2000 in Paris, and the ensuing follow-up discussions.
