Seminar
(S) Museum Anthropology
Maria-Antonie Ellendorff
Kommentar
This course introduces students to the field of museum anthropology, which critically examines museums as cultural, political, and affective spaces. We will explore what it means to think anthropologically about museums: as institutions shaped by histories of colonialism, as spaces of (re)presentation and knowledge production and as sites of political, scientific, public and activist negotiation and dispute.
Through a combination of seminar discussions and practical engagements, students will develop both theoretical and applied understandings of contemporary museum practice. About half of our sessions will take place in Berlin’s museums and “collections” or with museum professionals, allowing students to encounter the everyday museum work such as curation, exhibition-making, “collection” care, and community collaboration. These encounters will complement readings and discussions that trace key debates in museum anthropology.
