Krew i kamienie. Potencjalne eksponaty Muzeum Ziemi PAN

Abstract

The author points to the presence of potential artifacts in the Earth Museum of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw: fragments of the ruins of Warsaw monuments and the bloodstain of a Warsaw insurgent imprinted in marble. She analyzes the implications of placing these objects in a geological context and what we can see in them through a non-anthropocentric interpretive stance. The author also shows how the combination of these contexts can have the potential to lead to a critical opening of narratives and an appreciation of the Other. Key-words: non-anthropocentrism, geology, debris, blood, museum, critical discourse
