Internationales Symposium: Museumsanthropologie im 21. Jahrhundert

What can museum anthropology do in the 21st century?

Museum anthropology is one of the oldest sub-fields of anthropology, which was, especially in the German context, constitutive of the discipline itself. Yet it has long been neglected in academic research and teaching. This symposium sets out to draw museum anthropology back into anthropology, to address specific museological and also general anthropological concerns. Museum histories, theories, methods, and practices can be mobilised to expand on recent academic developments such as the material and ontological turns, hot topics such as colonial history and postcolonial critique, the indigenisation of disciplines and institutions, and emerging methodological interactions between anthropology and the arts, as well as the increasingly important interface between academic research and the wider public.
