Os museus são instituições únicas na cultura ocidental e as exposições museológicas constituem-se na principal forma de aproximação da sociedade de seu patrimônio cultural musealizado. Este livro reflete uma preocupação com o processo de profissionalização dos museus e, em especial, da equipe responsável pelas exposições museológicas
Explores the scope that there is for Indigenous curatorial agency in the relationship of Indigenous contemporary art with the 'art world'. This monograph focuses on the current boom in Indigenous contemporary art in Brazil, exploring in particular the way that this work interfaces with the art world through exhibitions, and the scope that there is for Indigenous curatorial agency in this relationship. After a brief introduction to Indigenous art, it gives an overview of the evolving relationship between Indigenous art and the art world, exploring in particular the nature of decolonial and/or Indigenous curatorial practice both in Brazil and elsewhere in the world. It then hones in on a recen...
At the center of current debates surrounding the social function of museums, questions concerning museum activities and the participation of both inhabitants and the public arise. In 2019, these questions were the subject of many heated debates at the 34th General Assembly of ICOM in Kyoto, which intended to propose a new definition of the museum. As the representations of the tensions between Universalist and Communitarian approaches are not only largely dependent on the historical and socio-political contexts of the various countries concerned, a generational angle must also be considered. It thus seems totally anachronistic to try to defend a dichotomous vision that is far too simplistic....

Amending our Pasts and Futures: Observing Media and Place as Means to Memory is an edited volume presenting original research from established and emerging scholars of public and collective memory. Contributors focus on topics including the memory of race and slavery, wars of oppression, and regional and ethnic identities to interrogate how we as collectives remember, commemorate, discuss, forget, and question what is historically revealed, appropriated, silenced, or concealed from public discourse. Through analyses of a wide range of cultural texts and contexts, contributors to this volume demonstrate the crucial role of communication and media in shaping public opinion—and our collective present more broadly—in an effort to amend our painful histories.
New Directions for University Museums is intended to help university museum leaders to help them plan strategically in the context of the issues and needs of the 2020s by examining trends affecting them and directions in response to those forces. It will lay out a series of potential directions for university museums in the 21st century using examples from the field. Although university museums are similar to other museums in their topic areas (art, natural history, archaeology, etc.) they are a unique category that requires special consideration. Today university museums are grappling with new forces that are affecting their future: University museums still have a dual responsibility to cam...
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...

The book discusses the representation of Amazonian indigenous cultures in art and anthropological exhibitions through the analysis of a series of case studies of temporary exhibitions taking place in museums and biennials in Brazil, Europe and the United States spanning a period of 25 years from the mid-1980s. The book puts forward the concept of ‘minor curating’ as a strategy to amplify access to collections of historical relevance for indigenous peoples and to enable them to develop projects that are politically, historically and culturally meaningful for their own societies through curatorial authorship.
O foco deste livro são as diversas memórias sobre o Museu das Bandeiras (MuBan), a partir da narrativa dos seus funcionários, visitantes, pesquisadores e comunidade que o cerca. Para além de um museu, ele foi, durante quase 200 anos, primeiramente câmara e cadeia e depois somente cadeia. É um prédio que dialoga com a Cidade de Goiás, que faz parte do seu traçado original, o único construído a partir de uma planta enviada de Portugal. É um edifício singular, localizado na parte mais alta de uma colina, visto de várias partes na cidade patrimônio da humanidade. Como uma instituição que promove a diversidade e a inclusão, sabemos que não há somente uma história a ser contada sobre o MuBan; e sim centenas, quiçá milhares, que são construídas cotidianamente na forma como ele é apropriado e ressignificado por quem o vê, visita, ou mesmo ouve o que os mais idosos contam a respeito daquele espaço. É nesse emaranhado de histórias, memórias e breves narrativas, que dificilmente seriam levadas em consideração numa história escrita a partir dos documentos oficiais, que este livro se constrói.
