Abstract
In a reflective essay, the author draws upon experiences in two ongoing projects to suggest ways in which the literatures on museum-based ethnographic collaboration might be enriched and extended. One illustrative project is a binational, multi-institutional endeavor linking six museums within a larger program of cooperation led by two national scholarly societies. The other case is the work of an ethnographically oriented, museum-based public arts program working on a statewide basis in a midwestern state in the United States. The author concludes with a call to develop frameworks for fostering partnership activities between museums of ethnography.
期刊介绍:
Museum Anthropology seeks to be a leading voice for scholarly research on the collection, interpretation, and representation of the material world. Through critical articles, provocative commentaries, and thoughtful reviews, this peer-reviewed journal aspires to cultivate vibrant dialogues that reflect the global and transdisciplinary work of museums. Situated at the intersection of practice and theory, Museum Anthropology advances our knowledge of the ways in which material objects are intertwined with living histories of cultural display, economics, socio-politics, law, memory, ethics, colonialism, conservation, and public education.
