Abstract

New media art presents many challenges to the curator and collector, but there is very little published analytical material available to help meet those challenges. This book fills that gap. Drawing from the editor's extensive research and the authors' expertise in the field, the book provides clear navigation through a disparate arena. The authors offer examples from a wide geographical reach, including the UK, North America and Asia and integrate the consideration of audience response into all aspects of their work. The book will be essential reading for those studying or practicing in new m

Abstract

"The New History in an Old Museum is an exploration of "historical truth" as presented at Colonial Williamsburg. More than a detailed history of a museum and tourist attraction, it examines the packaging of American history, and consumerism and the manufacturing of cultural beliefs. Through extensive fieldwork - including numerous site visits, interviews with employees and visitors, and archival research - Richard Handler and Eric Gable illustrate how corporate sensibility blends with pedagogical principle in Colonial Williamsburg to blur the lines between education and entertainment, patriotism and revisionism." "During much of its existence, the "living museum" at Williamsburg has been considered a patriotic shrine, celebrating the upscale lifestyles of Virginia's colonial-era elite. But in recent decades a new generation of social historians has injected a more populist and critical slant to the site's narrative of nationhood. For example, in interactions with museum visitors, employees now relate stories about the experiences of African Americans and women, stories that several years ago did not enter into descriptions of life in Colonial Williamsburg. Handler and Gable focus on the way this public history is managed, as historians and administrators define historiographical policy and middle-level managers train and direct front-line staff to deliver this "product" to the public. They explore how visitors consume or modify what they hear and see, and reveal how interpreters and craftspeople resist or acquiesce in being managed. By deploying the voices of these various actors in a richly textured narrative, The New History in an Old Museum highlights the elements of cultural consensus that emerge from this cacophony of conflict and negotiation."--Jacket.

A useful resource for the photographic conservator, conservation scientist, curator, as well as professional collector, A Guide to the Preventive Conservation of Photograph Collections synthesizes both the enormous amount of research that has been completed to date and the international standards that have been established on the subject.The book opens with a description of the principal forms of deterioration that photographs may undergo. It surveys the variety of containers used to house photographs and the environmental conditions each is meant to improve. The book also discusses the maintenance of photographic collections and the precautions that must be taken in exhibiting them.

Abstract

Fondée en 1986 par Michel Leiris et Jean Jamin, Gradhiva est publiée par le musée du quai Branly pour sa nouvelle série. La revue se veut un lieu de débats sur l'histoire et les développements actuels de l'anthropologie fondés sur des études originales et la publication d'archives ou de témoignages. Gradhiva privilégie aussi l'étude et l'analyse d'objets réels ou symboliques ainsi que des problématiques muséologiques et anthropologiques. Surtout, elle est ouverte à de multiples disciplines : l'ethnologie, l'esthétique, l'histoire, la sociologie, la littérature ou encore la musique. Elle s'attache enfin à développer par une iconographie souvent inédite et singulière une interaction entre le texte et l'image.
