    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisDisplaced Things in Museums and Beyond looks anew at the lives, effects and possibilities of things. Starting from the perspectives of things themselves, it outlines a particular, displacement approach to the museum, anthropology and material culture.The book explores the ways in which the objects are experienced in their present, displaced settings, and the implications and potentialities they carry. It offers insights into matters of difference and the hope that may be offered by transformative encounters between persons and things. Drawing on anthropological studies of ritual to conceptualise and examine displacement and its implications and possibilities, Dudley develops her arguments through exploration of displaced objects now in museums and dislocated or exiled from their prior geographical, historical, cultural, intellectual and personal contexts. The bookâs approach and conclusions are relevant far beyond the museum, showing that even in the most difficult of circumstances there is agency, distinction and dignity in the choices and impacts that are made, and that things and places as well as people have efficacy and potency in those choices. In Displaced Things, displacement emerges as fundamental to understanding the lives of things and their relationships with human beings, and the places, however defined, that they make and pass within. The book will be essential reading for academics and students engaged in the study of museums, heritage, anthropology, culture and history.Table of ContentsPrologue; Part I Departures; Chapter 1 Displaced things; Chapter 2 Separating things; Part II Liminal things; Chapter 3 Representational things; Chapter 4 Subjunctive things; Chapter 5 Hopeful things;

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd The Arts Management Handbook

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisWhether the art form is theater, dance, music, festival, or the visual arts and galleries, the arts manager is the liaison between the artists and their audience. Bringing together the insights of educators and practitioners, this groundbreaker links the fields of management and organizational management with the ongoing evolution in arts management education. It especially focuses on the new directions in arts management as education and practice merge. It uses cases studies as both a pedagogical tool and an integrating device. Separate sections cover Performing and Visual Arts Management, Arts Management Education and Careers, and Arts Management: Government, Nonprofits, and Evaluation. The book also includes a chapter on grants and raising money in the arts.Trade Review'... a welcome addition to the literature on arts management. It provides information that has yet to be explored by combining the more “how to” applications that a manager should consider with a cursory review of policy-based considerations that confront the arts leader.' -- Cecelia Fitzgibbon, The Journal of Arts Management, Law, and SocietyTable of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction, Meg Brindle, Constance DeVereaux; Part 1 Performing and Visual Arts Management; Chapter 2 Facilities Management: Arts Facilities, Patrick Donnelly; Chapter 3 Theater Production Management Guidebook, Kevin Murray; Chapter 4 “Doing It All”, Kira Hoffmann; Chapter 5 An Introduction to Festival Management, Juha Iso-Aho; Chapter 6 Gallery Management, Trudi Van Dyke, Eleanor Striplin; Part 2 Arts Management: Education and Careers; Chapter 7 Through, With, and In, James E.

    Book SynopsisIn this anthology, top scholars researching libraries, archives, and museums (LAM) issues in Scandinavia explore pressing issues for contemporary LAMs.In recent decades, relations between libraries, archives, and museums have changed rapidly: collections have been digitized; books, documents, and objects have been mixed in new ways; and LAMs have picked up new tasks in response to external changes. Libraries now host makerspaces and literary workshops, archives fight climate change and support indigenous people, and museums are used as instruments for economic growth and urban planning. At first glance, the described changes may appear as a divergent development, where the LAMs are growing apart. However, this book demonstrates that the present transformation of LAMs is primarily a convergent development.Libraries, Archives, and Museums in Transition will be essential reading for students, scholars, and practitioners seeking to get on top of the LAM liTable of Contents1.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Regulating Transnational Heritage

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThere is a vast body of international and national law that regulates cultural heritage. However, the current regulation remains quite blind to the so called transnational heritage. This is heritage where there is no community recognized in law that it can be directly attributed to and that can be responsible for its safekeeping and preservation. It can also be items of heritage where the claim of ownership is disputed between two or more peoples or communities. Transnational heritage challenges the idea of monolithic, mono-cultural, ethno-national states. There are a number of examples of such cultural heritage, for instance the Buddhist Bamiyan statutes in Afghanistan, Palmyra in Syria, the Jewish heritage of Iraq, or various items that are currently housed in large, often Western, museums, as a result of colonial practices. This book explores the regulation of transnational heritage. By discussing many cases of transnational heritage and the problems that arise due to the laTable of ContentsPrologue 1. Introduction 2.

    Book SynopsisFollowing a period of strategic and ideological change in museums, this book outlines new attitudes in curating and display, education and learning, text and interpretation, access, inclusion, participation, space, and the issues around the sustainability of the encyclopaedic collection. Focused on the contemporary period, the author questions the extent to which the museum visitor has become reliant on interpretative text and examines the development of new museum spaces where visitor interaction and engagement is welcomed. Changes of attitude have transformed our museums into modern spaces that reflect current needs and modern expectations and yet our permanent collections remain relatively unchanged, sometimes an uncomfortable reminder of a time when values, ethics, and attitudes were very different. The author will discuss these conflicts of ideology.Written by a researcher with expertise in museum practice, this shortform book offers a new approach that will be vaTable of Contents1.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Innovative Technology in Art Conservation

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisInnovative Technology in Art Conservation provides one of the first ever critical assessments of innovation in conservation science and questions what role it should play in conservation and conservation ethics.Written in language understandable for the non-technical reader, the book begins with a brief history of so-called science-based conservation, which is based on chemistry, physics and engineering, and examines how it influences conservation ethics and conservation decisions. It considers the concepts of originality and original appearance, and how people see and perceive objects, looking in particular at the results of the relatively new technology of eye-tracking. Wei then moves on to critically examine advanced technologies such as colour modelling, hyperspectral imaging, texture mapping, virtual retouching and digital reproductions and considers what they offer for determining original appearance of artworks and other cultural heritage objects. The book concludes with some reflections on the future of conservation and science-based conservation, calling for more thoughtful consideration of what it is that conservation scientists are offering, and why and for whom it is being offered.Innovative Technology in Art Conservation is essential reading for academics and students working in conservation and conservation science. The book will also be of interest to the international community of conservators and cultural heritage professionals who must make decisions about whether to use advanced technologies in their practice.Table of ContentsI.

    Book SynopsisFallen Monuments and Contested Memorials examines how the modification, destruction, or absence of monuments and memorials can be viewed as performative acts that challenge prescribed, embodied narratives in the public realm. Bringing together international, multidisciplinary approaches, the chapters in this volume interrogate the ways in which memorial constructions disclose implicitly and explicitly the proxy battle for public memory and identity, particularly since 2015. Acknowledging the ways in which the past which is given agency through monuments and memorials intrudes into daily life, this volume offers perspectives from researchers that answer questions about the roles of monuments and memorials as persistent, yet mutable, works whose meanings are not fixed but are, rather, subject to processes of continual re-interpretation. By using monuments and memorials as lenses through which to view race, memory, and the legacies of war, power, and subjugation, thisTable of ContentsIntroduction: The Post-Creation Life of Monuments and Memorials, Following Father’s Footsteps: Slavery, Imperialism and the William Ewart Gladstone Memorial Statue in Liverpool City Centre Problematical Benefactors and Founding Fathers: Negotiating Sculptures of MT Steyn and JH Marais at South African Universities Recasting Columbus: Local Contestations Against the Monumentalization of Settler Colonialism "Decolonizing the Streets!" of California through the Removal of Junípero Serra Monuments and Statues A Decolonial and Pedagogic Fall on Tulcan Hill: Between Recasting Public Memory and Place, and Recovering History and Commemoration The Politics of Erasure: De-Commemorating "Comfort Women" in the Philippines Saving Communist Monuments in the Context of De-Communisation in Ukraine: An Examination of Conflicting Narratives From Civil to Culture War: Confederate Statues and Statutes in Nashville, Tennessee (Re) claiming Public Memory: Confederate Monuments and Memorials as Sites of Contestation in the American South Recontextualizing a Campus Monument of George Washington through Collaborative Engagement in the Arts "The Disparity Between Us": Rochester’s Frederick Douglass Memorial and its Inscription on the 21st-Century Landscape Digital Lieux de Mémoire and Milieux de Mémoire: Josephine de Beauharnais and the Digital Afterlife of Toppled Statues Monuments Cast Shadows: Remembering and Forgetting the ‘Dead Survivors’ of Nazi Persecution in Swedish Cemeteries Sono Persone | Ata Janë Njerëz 8.8.1991: Public Mementos and the Political Agency of Absence Deliberation: The Remembrance of Things Cast

    Book SynopsisU.S. Museum Histories and the Politics of Interpretation is the first collection to examine the history of museums in the United States through the lens of the political and ideological underpinnings at the heart of exhibitions, collecting, and programming.Including contributions from historians, art historians, anthropologists, academics, and museum professionals, the book argues that museums have always been embedded in the politics and culture of their time â whether that means a reification of hegemonic notions of race, gender, and progress or a challenge to those normative structures. Contributions probe the political nature of collection and interpretation as concept and practice, and museum work as both reflective of and contributing to the politics and circulation of power in different historical moments. As a whole, the volume provides detailed readings of museums that demonstrate the ways in which these trusted cultural institutions have intervened in shifting concepts of nation, community, indigeneity, race, citizenship, inclusion, identity, localism, and memory.U.S. Museum Histories and the Politics of Interpretation makes arguments about the historically and politically rooted nature of cultural production in museums that apply to institutions across the globe.

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.

    Book SynopsisA Theory of Cultural Heritage provides a structured and comprehensive picture of the concept of cultural heritage (CH) and its theoretical and practical derivatives. Arguing that the expanded notion of CH brings with it a number of unresolved conceptual tensions, MuÃoz-ViÃas summarizes the strong and weak points of the current discourse. Gathering together a range of existing views on cultural heritage and its practices, the book provides a dynamic overview of the theoretical underpinnings behind the notion and also considers how these could evolve in the future. By analyzing the conflicting meanings of the term âcultural heritageâ and establishing a more nuanced ontological taxonomy, this book challenges some well-established views and outlines a framework that will allow the reader to better grasp the theoretical and practical complexities of this fascinating notion.

    Book SynopsisThis collection of original essays brings together museum, theatre, and performance case studies with a focus on their distinctive and overlapping modes of producing memory for transnational audiences.Whether this is through narrative, object, embodied encounter or a combination of the three, this volume considers distinctions and interactions between memory and history specifically through the lenses of theatre and performance studies, visual culture, and museum and curator studies. This book is underpinned by three areas of research enquiry: How are contemporary theatre makers and museum curators staging historical narratives of difficult pasts? How might comparisons between theatre and museum practices offer new insights into the role objects play in generating and representing difficult pasts? What points of overlap, comparison, and contrast among these constructions of history and memory of authoritarianism, slavery, colonialism, genocide, armed conflict, fascism, and coTable of Contents1.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Art Exhibition and Erasure in Nazi Vienna

    Book SynopsisThis book examines three exhibitions of contemporary art held at the Vienna Künstlerhaus during the period of National Socialist rule and shows how each attempted to culturally erase elements anathema to Nazi ideology: the City, the Jewess and fin-de-siècle Vienna. Each of the exhibits was large scale and ambitious, part of a broader attempt to situate Vienna as the cultural capital of the Reich, and each aimed to reshape cultural memory and rewrite history. Applying illuminating theories on memory studies, collective and public memory, and notions of memoricide, this is the first book in English to focus on visual culture in the period when Austria was erased as a nation and incorporated into the Third Reich as Ostmark. The organization, content and publications surrounding these three exhibits are explored in depth and set against the larger political changes and dangerous ideologies they reflect. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, museuTable of Contents1. Introduction: Repression, Revision and the History of Art in Nazi Vienna 2.

Using the concept of assemblage, this book unpacks relations between visitors, artists, museum staff, and the museum's nonhuman components, providing an analytical framework that celebrates the complexity of museums today. It takes the Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) in Tasmania as its primary case study but situates it in global trends by drawing on a range of examples from art museums across Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and East Asia. It provides insight into how perceptions around engagement are enabled and constrained in the context of different museums and highlights the necessity of an analytical framework that accommodates the complexity and multiplicity of the contemporary museum landscape.

    Book SynopsisConflict, Cultural Heritage and Peace offers a series of conceptual and applied frameworks to help understand the role cultural heritage plays within conflict and the potential it has to contribute to positive peacebuilding and sustainable development in post-conflict societies.Designed as a resource guide, this general volume introduces the multiple roles cultural heritage plays through the conflict cycle from its onset, subsequent escalation and through to resolution and recovery. In its broadest sense, it questions what role cultural heritage plays within conflict, how cultural heritage is used in the construction and justification of conflict narratives, how are these narratives framed and often manipulated to support particular perspectives, and how we can develop better understandings of cultural heritage and work towards the better protection of cultural heritage resources during conflict. It moves beyond the protection paradigm and recognises that cultural heTable of Contents1.Introduction, 2.

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisEncountering Nazi Tourism Sites explores how the terrible legacy of Nazi criminality is experienced by tourists, bridging the gap between cultural criminology and tourism studies to make a significant contribution to our understanding of how Nazi criminality is evoked and invoked in the landscape of modern Germany. This study is grounded in fieldwork encounters with memorials, museums and perpetrator sites across Germany and the Netherlands, including Berlin Holocaust memorials and museums, the Anne Frank House, the Wannsee House, Wewelsburg Castle and concentration camps. At the core of this research is a respect for each siteâs unique physical, architectural or curatorial form and how this enables insights into different aspects of the Holocaust. Chapters grapple with themes of authenticity, empathy, voyeurism and vicarious experience to better comprehend the possibilities and limits of affective encounters at these sites.This will be of great interest to upTrade Review'By focusing on the nature of remembrance at sites located within Germany, Encountering Nazi Tourism Sites lends a fresh perspective to the emerging study of tourism that commemorates the victims and exposes the perpetrators of the Holocaust. Derek Dalton recalls both the immense bureaucratic apparatus that made mass murder possible, as well as the considerable challenges facing the institutions charged with presenting this difficult history to subsequent generations. His engaging prose recalls both infamous and more obscure locations on the itinerary of Holocaust tourism, showing how each conveys unique lessons – and runs particular risks – in efforts to educate visitors about the nature of state-sponsored brutality.'Professor Daniel P. Reynolds, Grinnell College, Iowa, USA'With his incisive new study, Encountering Nazi Tourism Sites, Derek Dalton once again pushes the boundaries of dark tourism scholarship, highlighting his unique criminological contributions to an evolving field. In his meticulous and eloquent book, he traverses multiple memorial sites, capturing their diversity, and unpacking their challenges, achievements and limitations with staggering clarity. In doing so, Encountering Nazi Tourism Sites eschews simple interpretations of Holocaust tourism and memorialisation, instead offering the reader bold encouragement to think beyond accepted accounts to provide a sweeping scrutiny of complex encounters. This essential book will move the reader with its sensitive analysis of the links between memorials and the foundations of remembrance that at their heart carry the terrible weight of death. Derek Dalton never loses sight of this significance, it drives his inquiry and is an issue carefully balanced throughout the pages of this extraordinary book. This is a searching, compelling and perceptive study of a difficult subject.'Rebecca Scott Bray, Associate Professor of Criminology and Socio-Legal Studies, University of Sydney, AustraliaTable of ContentsIntroduction: Surveying the Holocaust tourism memorial field in Germany. 1 Profane splendour: the Wannsee House. 2 The Topography of Terror: the foundations of Nazi rule. 3 Wewelsburg Castle: against an SS phantasia 4 The Anne Frank House/Museum. 5 Concentration camp tourism in Germany: two encounters 6 The Jewish Museum Berlin: encountering trauma. 7 Berlin Holocaust memorials: marking past atrocity in the space of the city Conclusion: Nazi crime-related tourism in contemporary Germany

    Book SynopsisRe-envisioning the Contemporary Art Canon: Perspectives in a Global World seeks to dissect and interrogate the nature of the present-day art field, which has experienced dramatic shifts in the past 50 years.In discussions of the canon of art history, the notion of inclusiveness', both at the level of rhetoric and as a desired practice is on the rise and gradually replacing talk of exclusion', which dominated critiques of the canon up until two decades ago. The art field has dramatically, if insufficiently, changed in the half-century since the first protests and critiques of the exclusion of others' from the art canon. With increased globalization and shifting geopolitics, the art field is expanding beyond its Euro-American focus, as is particularly evident in the large-scale international biennales now held all over the globe. Are canons and counter-canons still relevant? Can they be re-envisioned rather than merely revised? Following an introduction thaTrade Review"The best essays in this collection are well aware of the complex entanglements and disentanglements that lie behind the canonizing process, and many readers will want to read them for that reason."- Jan Gorak, University of Denver, USARe-envisioning the Contemporary Art Canon is a timely, necessary volume, one that asks—across lucid and jargon-free case studies and equally dynamic round-table discussions—whither the place of the art historical canon in a contemporary art world. Answers diverge, and for the better. Taken together the texts model a pluriversal discourse that may well become a standard of its own.Suzanne Hudson, Associate Professor of Art History and Fine Arts, University of Southern California, USARe-envisioning the Contemporary Art Canon is an intellectually astute intervention into the growing literature on contemporary art, its validation and significance within the history of art. Through a series of fascinating essays and well-written introductory sections, this book sets out the premises for a critical account of how contemporary art canons get created in a range of institutional and discursive contexts globally.Jonathan Harris, Professor in Global Art and Design Studies, Birmingham City University, UKRe-envisioning the Contemporary Art Canon is a wonderful contribution that examines art historical canons and the political, social, and ethical forces that shape and reshape them. In examining canons in myriad contexts, this text pressures us to rethink how we understand and categorize art and the artworld in our globalized present. Steven Nelson, University of California, Los Angeles, USAThe concept of the canon is a persistent one; even when considered obsolete, it continues to operate covertly in collecting, exhibition and scholarly practices. This volume brings the concept out into the open for a full and intensive discussion of its problematics and possibilities. At a time when geopolitical, gender and postcolonial perspectives are generating more inclusive methods in curating and art history, Re-envisioning the Contemporary Art Canon provides a compelling argument to not only critique the canon but to strategically reconceive it for the twenty-first century.Jim Drobnick and Jennifer Fisher, Editors, Journal of Curatorial StudiesTable of ContentsIntroduction Re-envisioning the Canon: Are Pluriversal Canons Possible?

Adler develops a range of aesthetic models through which these practices can be understood to function critically. Each chapter focuses on a single exhibition: Isa Genzken's OIL (German Pavilion, Venice Biennale, 2007), Geoffrey Farmer's midcareer survey (Musée d'art contemporain, Montréal, 2008), Rachel Harrison's Consider the Lobster (CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art, 2009), and Liz Magor's The Mouth and Other Storage Facilities (Henry Art Gallery, Seattle, 2008).Trade Review"This book is an argument for paying more attention to the material conditions of sculpture—not as a return to formalism, but as a powerful and necessary tool to cut through the lingo of installation art and the capaciousness of digital culture."- Gloria Sutton, Northeastern University ArtTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

    Book SynopsisCurating Art provides insight into some of the most socially and politically impactful curating of historical and contemporary art since the late 1990s. It offers up a museological framework for understanding watershed developments of curating in art museums.Representing the plurality of theory and practice around the expanded field of relational curating, the book focuses on curating that prioritises the quality of relationships between people and objects, between institutions and people and among people. It has wide international breadth, with particularly strong representation in East and Southeast Asia, including four papers never before translated into English. This Asian cluster illuminates the globalisation of the field and challenges dichotomies of East and West while acknowledging distinctions within specific, but often transnational, cultural spheres.
