Libraries, Archives, and Museums in Transition
In 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 literature or the particularities of Scandinavian LAMs.
Creating the Desired Citizen
A comparative analysis of the nation-building projects in Turkey under both Ataturk and Erdogan, concentrating on the concept of the desired, undesired and tolerated citizen. This shows how resulting historical traumas, victimhood, insecurities, anxieties, and fears have had influenced both state and society throughout these different periods.
Museums as Cultures of Copies
Few institutions are warier of copies than museums. Few fields of knowledge are more prone to denounce copies as fake than the heritage field. Few discourses are as concerned with authenticity, aura, originals and provenance as those concerning exhibiting and collecting. So why is it that these are institutions, fields and discourses where copies proliferate and copying techniques have thrived for hundreds of years? Museums as Cultures of Copies aims to make the copying practices of museums visible and to discuss, from a range of interrelated perspectives, precisely what function copies fulfil in the heritage field and in museums today. With contributions from Europe and Canada, the book int...
Victorian Artists' Autograph Replicas
This book is a wide-ranging exploration of the production of Victorian art autograph replicas, a painting’s subsequent versions created by the same artist who painted the first version. Autograph replicas were considered originals, not copies, and were highly valued by collectors in Britain, America, Japan, Australia, and South Africa. Motivated by complex combinations of aesthetic and commercial interests, replicas generated a global, and especially transatlantic, market between the 1870s and the 1940s, and almost all collected replicas were eventually donated to US public museums, giving replicas authority in matters of public taste and museums’ modern cultural roles. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, museum studies, and economic history.
Exhibitions as Research
Exhibitions as Research contends that museums would be more attractive to both researchers and audiences if we consider exhibitions as knowledge-in-the-making rather than platforms for disseminating already-established insights. Analysing the theoretical underpinnings and practical challenges of such an approach, the book questions whether it is possible to exhibit knowledge that is still in the making, whilst also considering which concepts of "knowledge" apply to such a format. The book also considers what the role of audience might be if research is extended into the exhibition itself. Providing concrete case studies of projects where museum professionals have approached exhibition making...
Hip Heritage and Museum Practices in Contemporary Hybrid Markets
Focusing on how museums prioritize and produce content, Hip Heritage demonstrates how economic issues play an ever-larger role in determining how cultural heritage is being framed and presented in contemporary heritage museums. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted by the authors at seven museums over the course of five years, this book offers an in-depth analysis of heritage museums in Nordic, Scandinavian and North American contexts. It investigates how economic realities, coupled with the cultural contexts in which museums operate, affect how these institutions organize, manage and develop their collections to make themselves relevant in society. Once charged with the primary task o...
I en sal på lasarettet : en berättelse om min mamma, tuberkulosen och folkhemmet
En kall februarikväll 1947, två dagar före hennes sjuårsdag, skrivs en flicka med tbc in på Norrtulls sjukhus. Efter fyra månader på sjukhuset skickas hon till barnsanatoriet Tjärnan i Dalarna för att tillfriskna. Först till lucia ska den lilla flickan få komma hem till sin familj igen. Flickan kommer att bli Björn Wimans mamma. I den här boken berättar han hennes historia: vistelsen på sanatoriet, hemkomsten och rädslan för att insjukna igen, tystnaden som omgav sjukdomen i familjen, hur erfarenheten präglat henne som barn och som vuxen. Det är också en berättelse om den fruktade lungsjukdom som skördat så många liv under mänsklighetens historia, som kommit att symbolisera såväl smuts och fattigdom som förfining, kultur och livshunger. Och om varför tuberkulosen blev det framväxande folkhemmets största fiende. I en sal på lasarettet är en gripande, rik och insiktsfull bok om en sjukdom, om människorna som drabbades av den och om ett samhälle som kanske gick för långt i sin iver att utplåna den. För vad gör det med ett litet barn att vara borta från sina föräldrar så länge? Och vad har det gjort med den generation som kommit efter?

Emerging Technologies and Museums
How can emerging technologies display, reveal and negotiate difficult, dissonant, negative or undesirable heritage? Emerging technologies in museums have the potential to reveal unheard or silenced stories, challenge preconceptions, encourage emotional responses, introduce the unexpected, and overall provide alternative experiences. By examining varied theoretical approaches and case studies, authors demonstrate how “awkward”, contested, and rarely discussed subjects and stories are treated – or can be potentially treated - in a museum setting with the use of the latest technology.
