Otherwise: Rethinking Museum and Heritage (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (e-doc), 2018)
Edited by Jonas Tinius, Christine Gerbich, Larissa Förster, Sharon Macdonald, Katarzyna Puzon, Margareta von Oswald (open-access)
Short description
The essays collected together here each explore a concept that offers the potential to think and do museum and heritage practice otherwise – that is, to think and do museums and heritage differently from the ways in which they have more recently or more usually been done. This ‘otherwising’ is thoroughly anthropological. It draws from a disciplinary approach that seeks to explore diverse ways of doing and thinking – to learn from other ways of being wise – in order to rethink, re-do, and transform, what might otherwise be taken for granted or left unexamined. (Sharon Macdonald)
