Abstract

This book examines how we can conceive of a "postcolonial museum" in the contemporary epoch of mass migrations, the internet and digital technologies. The authors consider the museum space, practices and institutions in the light of repressed histories, sounds, voices, images, memories, bodies, expression and cultures. Focusing on the transformation of museums as cultural spaces, rather than physical places, is to propose a living archive formed through creation, participation, production and innovation. The aim is to propose a critical assessment of the museum in the light of those transcultural and global migratory movements that challenge the historical and traditional frames of Occidental thought. This involves a search for new strategies and critical approaches in the fields of museum and heritage studies which will renew and extend understandings of European citizenship and result in an inevitable re-evaluation of the concept of "modernity" in a so-called globalised and multicultural world.

Abstract

La quatrième de couverture indique : "Entre 2000 et 2003, le Togo classe onze sites au patrimoine national, puis obtient que le "pays Tamberma" également appelé Koutammakou ou Batammariba, devienne le premier site togolais inscrit par l'Unesco au Patrimoine de l'Humanité. Pourquoi ce choix ? L'Unesco fait ainsi d'une ethnie qui est loin d'être emblématique de l'ensemble du pays un repère identitaire du Togo. Que signifient des frontières coloniales entre Bénin et Togo pour des populations dont l'histoire remonte à des millénaires ? Au-delà de l'analyse du "pays Koutammakou", ce livre veut montrer que le classement pratiqué par l'Unesco demeure profondément néo colonial dans son approche des autochtones, des indigènes, des peuples des Sud. En abordant la question des civilisations et des cultures africaines, en analysant quelques collections de musées, nous avons cherché à aborder la difficile question des arts premiers et des sociétés primitives. Mais nous avons aussi voulu affronter le devoir de mémoire à l'égard des conflits nés des indépendances et des luttes pour le pouvoir."

Abstract

Places of Pain and Shame is a cross-cultural study of sites that represent painful and/or shameful episodes in a national or local community's history, and the ways that government agencies, heritage professionals and the communities themselves seek to remember, commemorate and conserve these cases - or, conversely, choose to forget them. Such episodes and locations include: massacre and genocide sites, places related to prisoners of war, civil and political prisons, and places of 'benevolent' internment such as leper colonies and lunatic asylums.
