Abstract

This paper explores the process from museumization to decolonization through an examination of a Haida eagle mask currently on display in the Exploring Medicine gallery at the Science Museum in London. While elements of this discussion are well developed in some disciplines, such as Indigenous studies, anthropology and museum and heritage studies, this paper approaches the topic through the history of science, where decolonization and global perspectives are still gaining momentum. The aim therefore is to offer some opening perspectives and methods on how historians of science can use the ideas and approaches relating to decolonization in other fields, and apply them constructively to the history of science, particularly in museum settings. Decolonization is a complicated process and the focus of this paper is squarely on the preliminary steps of its implementation. To understand this process fully, the paper will recontextualize the Indigenous history of the Haida eagle mask at the Science Museum through a careful reconstruction of its provenance record. Through this process it will expose the politics of erasure and hidden voices in museum collections.

从博物馆化到非殖民化:戴着海达鹰面具促进科学史上的批判性对话。
本文通过检查目前在伦敦科学博物馆探索医学画廊展出的海达鹰面具,探索了从博物馆化到非殖民化的过程。虽然这一讨论的内容在一些学科中得到了很好的发展,如土著研究、人类学、博物馆和遗产研究,但本文通过科学史来探讨这一主题,在科学史中,非殖民化和全球视角仍在增长。因此,目的是就科学历史学家如何在其他领域使用与非殖民化有关的思想和方法提供一些开放的视角和方法,并将其建设性地应用于科学史,特别是在博物馆环境中。非殖民化是一个复杂的过程,本文件的重点完全放在执行非殖民化的初步步骤上。为了充分理解这一过程,本文将通过仔细重建海达鹰面具的起源记录,重新文本化科学博物馆海达鹰面罩的土著历史。通过这个过程,它将揭露博物馆藏品中的抹杀政治和隐藏的声音。
