| Publisher Description: The museum boom, with its accompanying objectification and politicization of culture, finds its counterpart in the growing interest by social scientists in material culture, much of which is to be found in museums. However, the (re-) invention of museum anthropology presents a series of challenges for academic teaching and research, as well as for the work of cultural production in contemporary museums -- issues that are explored in this volume. |
