Abstract

At a time of major transformations in the conditions and self-conceptions of cultural history and ethnological museums worldwide, it has become increasingly important for these museums to engage in cooperative projects. This book brings together insights and analyses of a wide variety of approaches to museum cooperation from different expert perspectives. Featuring a variety of African and European points of view and providing detailed empirical evidence, it establishes a new field of museological study and provides some suggestions for future museum practice. »As such collaborative projects become more common in museum practice, this volume will provide an important resource for global professionals and scholars, as well as provoke discussion on how to address issues of accessibility, resource allocation, heritage politics, knowledge exchange, and the nature of collaboration.« Kristin Otto, Museum Anthropology Review, 13/1 (2019) »Eine kompakte und hervorragende Zusammenfassung der historischen sowie aktuellen Kapitalismuskritik von links und rechts.« Gerhard Neumeier, Zeitschrift für Geschichtswissenschaft, 3 (2019)

Abstract

Drinking is one of the most basic human needs. However, the act of drinking encompasses much more than just quenching ones thirst. It is also an important cultural act, that differs broadly in the beverages and their preparation and consumption around the world. This publication describes some of the most charactaristic beverages and their ceremonies. The authors from different fields of expertise clearly explain the different ways these drinks are prepared, shared, and consumed, and their inherent social power ranging from Palm Wine in the Tropical Belt via Rice Beer in Northeast India to the Alpine Milk Culture in Switzerland. Furthermore, two sommeliers contribute brief descriptions of the beverages which Western palates are not accustomed to an invitation to the readers to enjoy this book with all their senses.
