Dictionary of Museology
The internationally focused Dictionary of Museology reflects the diversity of cultural and disciplinary approaches to theory and practice in the museum field today. The museum world is changing rapidly, and the characteristics and social roles of the world’s approximately 100,000 existing museums are constantly evolving. In addition to their traditional functions of preservation, research and communication, museums are increasingly addressing issues related to social inclusion, human rights, sustainable development and finances, all of which are explored in this dictionary. Drawing on the support of an international editorial committee, including influential figures from the US, Canada, Br...
L'artiste commissaire
En 1970, dans les réserves du Musée d’art de la Rhode Island School of Design à Providence, Andy Warhol prépare avec ses collaborateurs le troisième volet de l’exposition Raid the Icebox. Loin de son personnage de dandy aux cheveux platinés et au visage fardé, le pape du Pop art est montré dans un rôle que l’on connaît peu de lui et que pourtant bien des artistes après lui assumeront : celui de commissaire d’exposition. Aujourd’hui, nous sommes habitués à ce que des plasticiens, des écrivains, des cinéastes, des stylistes, et même des joueurs de football, soient invités à mettre en scène des œuvres conservées dans un musée. Nous ne sommes pas davantage surpris...
The Rise and Fall of American Art, 1940s–1980s
This book challenges the perception of New York as the undisputed center of the art world between the end of World War II and the fall of the Berlin Wall, a position of power that brought the city prestige, money, and historical recognition. In her transnational and interdisciplinary study, Dossin analyses changing distributions of geopolitical and symbolic power in the Western art worlds - a story that spans two continents, forty years, and hundreds of actors.
Drawing from the Archives
This book proposes a new history of the graphic novel by examining how it recirculates older comics in the present.
The Rise and Fall of American Art, 1940s–1980s
In The Rise and Fall of American Art, 1940s-1980s, Catherine Dossin challenges the now-mythic perception of New York as the undisputed center of the art world between the end of World War II and the fall of the Berlin Wall, a position of power that brought the city prestige, money, and historical recognition. Dossin reconstructs the concrete factors that led to the shift of international attention from Paris to New York in the 1950s, and documents how ’peripheries’ such as Italy, Belgium, and West Germany exerted a decisive influence on this displacement of power. As the US economy sank into recession in the 1970s, however, American artists and dealers became increasingly dependent on th...
Young adults using prescription drugs nonmedically
The growing use of prescription drugs is a global health concern. A “pill-popping culture”, where many life issues are seen as problems that can be treated with medication, is becoming more common worldwide. Simultaneously, there are increasing concerns about the nonmedical use of prescription drugs (NMUPD) such as sedatives, opi-oid-based pain relief medication and prescription stimu-lants. Nevertheless, this trend has received limited atten-tion in scientific research in Belgium, and in Europe more broadly. The YOUTH-PUMED study described in this book aims at a better understanding of this phenomenon among young adults, and of their perceptions about their own nonmedical use of prescription drugs and associated harms. This book shows that the young adults were using one or more psychoactive medication (sedatives, analgesics or stimulants) in different contexts, and their use patterns and motives for use varied. It ends with helpful insights to prevent and reduce NMUPD.
Art public et controverses - Fin XVIIIe-XXIe siècle
Du Balzac de Rodin au Balloon Dog de Jeff Koons : quand l'art public fait grincer des dents. L'art public : de l'activisme citoyen aux nouveaux censeurs. Un sujet polémique au prisme de l'histoire longue. À une époque où les mots " censure " et " déboulonnage " sont régulièrement prononcés et alors que se multiplient les débats autour de la cancel culture, du wokisme et de l'appropriation culturelle, la question de l'atteinte portée aux œuvres d'art dans l'espace public apparaît comme centrale. Cette actualité, aussi brûlante soit-elle, s'inscrit en réalité dans une histoire longue et complexe que l'on peut faire débuter à l'ère des expériences iconoclastes de la Révolut...

Curating Live Arts
Situated at the crossroads of performance practice, museology, and cultural studies, live arts curation has grown in recent years to become a vibrant interdisciplinary project and a genuine global phenomenon. Curating Live Arts brings together bold and innovative essays from an international group of theorist-practitioners to pose vital questions, propose future visions, and survey the landscape of this rapidly evolving discipline. Reflecting the field’s characteristic eclecticism, the writings assembled here offer practical and insightful investigations into the curation of theatre, dance, sound art, music, and other performance forms—not only in museums, but in community, site-specific, and time-based contexts, placing it at the forefront of contemporary dialogue and discourse.
