The Anticolonial Museum
The Anticolonial Museum acknowledges some of the consequences of colonialism in the current work of museums. Looking at museum theory in a critical way, it proposes a radical revision of museums’ rhetoric on decolonisation, as well as their public image and practices. Bringing together a collection of reflections on decolonisation through the observation of museum performance and discourse, the author considers current practices in response to the social claims of marginalised groups and activists. Drawing from a genealogy of decolonial thinking in museology, Brulon Soares identifies the inherent paradoxes reflected in museum work. The book’s focus is not exclusively on the reality of co...
Pensar os Museus
Em Pensar os Museus: Mito, História, Tradição, Bruno Bulon Soares nos faz refletir sobre como "o presente muda o passado". Esta constatação que soa banal para os ouvidos do século XXI, parece ainda não ter sido suficientemente explorada no que se refere à noção que temos hoje do museu moderno. Esse modelo de museu que chega ao presente ainda pensado como "templo", "espaço sagrado" onde são transmitidas as verdades do passado, cuja relativização ainda se vê em estágios iniciais, precisa ser discutido a partir do entendimento de sua origem histórica, num passado recorrentemente reinventado, reproduzido e apropriado. Esse museu de que falamos não nasceu na Grécia antiga, como somos muitas vezes levados a acreditar, e as Musas que lhes deram o nome foram raptadas de um passado chamado de "clássico" para dar sentido à instituição que se formou concretamente apenas no século XIX. O passado dos museus não é assim tão longínquo. Longínquas são as múltiplas referências por ele evocadas.

Museum Theory
MUSEUM THEORY EDITED BY ANDREA WITCOMB AND KYLIE MESSAGE Museum Theory offers critical perspectives drawn from a broad range of disciplinary and intellectual traditions. This volume describes and challenges previous ways of understanding museums and their relationship to society. Essays written by scholars from museology and other disciplines address theoretical reflexivity in the museum, exploring the contextual, theoretical, and pragmatic ways museums work, are understood, and are experienced. Organized around three themes—Thinking about Museums, Disciplines and Politics, and Theory from Practice/Practicing Theory—the text includes discussion and analysis of different kinds of museums from various, primarily contemporary, national and local contexts. Essays consider subjects including the nature of museums as institutions and their role in the public sphere, cutting-edge museum practice and their connections with current global concerns, and the links between museum studies and disciplines such as cultural studies, anthropology, and history.
Museums and Community
Combining research that stretches across all of the social sciences and international case studies, Elizabeth Crooke here explores the dynamics of the relationship between the community and the museum. Focusing strongly on areas such as Northern Ireland, South Africa, Australia and North America to highlight the complex issues faced by museums and local groups, Crooke examines one of the museum's primary responsibilities – working with different communities and using collections to encourage people to learn about their own histories, and to understand other people's. Arguing for a much closer examination of this concept of community, and of the significance of museums to different communities, Museums and Community is a dynamic look at a relationship that has, in modern times, never been more important.
