The Museumization of Migration in Paris and Berlin: an Ethnography The Museumization of Migration in Paris and Berlin: An Ethnography Dissertation Zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doktor philosophiae (Dr. Phil.) eingereicht An der Philosophischen Fakultät I der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin von : M.A. Andrea Meza Torres Datum der Disputation: 05. Februar 2014 Gutachter/innen: Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Kaschuba Zweitgutachterin: Prof. Dr. Regina Römhild 1 Abstract This dissertation is an ethnography about the field of the museumization of migration in Paris and Berlin. After having begun with a recognition of the visible differences between the national landscapes of France and Germany, the ethographer’s conclusion shifted into the opposite direction: the differences at the level of the “national” actually blur when colonial and imperial history are taken into account. Based on a combination of ethnographies and theory, this thesis shows how the representation of migration is historically connected with colonial history. This means that former representations of the “other” (the “indigenous” and the “primitive”) continue to exist today, but now attached to the figure of the “immigrant”. From this perspective, images of “Europe” and its “others” emerge anew in the present context. This thesis shows how, in both France and Germany, respective representations of the “others/immigrants” are very similar. In both countries, official representations of migration stand for how each nation selects and integrates diversity and mobility into the national narrative. On the other hand, images of the “national self” differ drastically between France and Germany. In this way, two distinctive fields emerge, namely: the European zone (made up of EU-nationals) and the non-European zone (made up of so called “immigrants”). In this thesis, the (conflicting) coming together of both fields at the museum is approached through the concept of the contact zone. This concept allows an ethnographic approach towards complex discussions about modernity, gender, racism, nationhood and citizenship – all of which emerge through the topic of migration. Finally, this thesis reflects on the impact of these conflicts on the making of “European” and “national” collective memories by looking at these debates from a power perspective and thus opening the path for the coexistence of collective memories in the public spaces of national and European landscapes. Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Dissertation bietet eine Ethnographie über die Musealisierung der Migration in Paris und Berlin an. Die Autorin stellt fest, dass trotz klarer Unterschiede zwischen den beiden nationalen, politischen Landschaften, viele Differenzen verschwinden, wenn die Kolonialgeschichte berücksichtigt wird. Die Arbeit kombiniert Ethnographien und Theorien und zeigt auf, wie die Repräsentation der Migration an die Kolonial – und Imperialgeschichte gebunden ist. Dies bedeutet, dass ältere Repräsentationen der „Anderen” (wie “Eingeborenen/Primitiven“) immer noch präsent sind, und zwar als Teil der Repräsentationen von „Immigranten“. Aus dieser Perspektive werden Bilder von “Europa” und den “Anderen” neu konfiguriert. Die Arbeit zeigt weiterhin, dass in Frankreich und Deutschland die jeweiligen Repräsentationen der „Anderen/Immigranten“ sehr ähnlich sind, denn in beiden Ländern steht die Migrationsmusealisierung für eine selektive Integration von Diversität und Mobilität in den jeweiligen nationalen Gemeinschaften. Dennoch, und auch das zeigt die Arbeit, werden die Bilder des „nationalen/Eigenen“ in beiden Ländern unterschiedlich gestaltet. Aufgrund dessen emergieren zwei Felder: eine Europäische Zone (von EU- Mitgliedern) und eine Nichteuropäische Zone (von sog. „Immigranten“). Die Disertation analysiert das konfliktive Aufeinandertreffen der beiden Felder im Museum mit Hilfe des Konzepts der Kontaktzonen. Dieses Konzept ermöglicht eine ethnographische Annäherung an 2 komplexe Diskussionen über Moderne, Gender, Rassismus, Nationalismus und Staatsbürgerschaft, welche immer in Debatten zum Thema Migration auftauchen. Darüber hinaus reflektiert die Arbeit den Impact dieser Konflikte auf das Europäische und nationale Kollektivgedächtnis aus einer Machtperspektive. Somit bietet sie eine Reflextion über Europäische und nationale Erinnerungslandschaften an und schlägt vor, dass diese aus verschiedenen formen kollektiver Gedächtnisse zusammengesetzt werden können.

To me, it seemed difficult to find similarities between migration museums and exhibits on migration which were located in such different national contexts, memorial cultures and traditions of representation. The fact that France and Germany today make up the central axis of the European Union, also seemed a paradox to me. The Franco-German field seemed to be antagonistic by nature. How could two nations with such differing national myths join together on a common memorial quest? Beyond this, the fact that my observation fields were, on the one hand, a national migration museum (the Cité nationale de l’histoire de l’immigration) in one city (Paris) and, on the other hand, several temporary exhibits on migration not only in Berlin but in several German cities such as Cologne, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich, seemed to bea proof that both countries were non-comparable1.

  • Press Release Berlin, 15 February 2019
    Press Release Berlin, 15 February 2019 Schlüter’s colossal sculptures have arrived in the Humboldt Forum The eight surviving colossal sculptures from the workshop of the famous sculptor and architect Andreas Schlüter have returned to the Schlossplatz – their place of origin. The sandstone figures, which are all on loan from the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin – Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz, were recently transported from the Bode Museum and the Palace Workshop to the Humboldt Forum, where they have been put on display in the Sculpture Hall. When the Humboldt Forum opens at the end of this year, visitors will be able to see these marvellous sculptures, united once more as an intrinsic part of the history of the location. Schlüter’s eight sandstone sculptures originally stood in the Berlin Palace courtyard that bears his name – the Schlüterhof. They were among the few sculptures that were fortunately salvaged from the ruins of the Palace before its demolition in 1950. With the exception of the nineteenth-century copy of Antinous, they were all made in the seventeenth century. Six of the sculptures originally crowned the columns in front of the great courtyard portal, where, at over three metres high, they served as dignified ornamentation for the palace courtyard. They represent a canon of the ideal virtues of a ruler. Meleager, for example, stands for heroism and the protection of his subjects, Apollo symbolizes the nurturing of art and science, whilst Mercury represents the promotion of trade and the economy. The other two[NM1], the robed [ERJ2]female figures Industry and Harmony, adorned the interior wall of Gateway 1.

    The Humboldt-Forum is ► an international meeting point and forum for the world The Humboldt-Forum aims to improve our understanding of the globalised world in which we live by raising questions and also searching for solutions. It is our goal to promote interaction between different cultures and to increase mutual understanding. In today’s mediated world, geographical distances / dimensions are less and less determining factors for many people. However, this change has not been accompanied by an increase in genuine understanding for one another, so it is all the more important to support this understanding, and to highlight developments in relationships between cultures and societies. The forum seeks to illuminate the tasks with which we are faced – in our cultures, societies, economies, and politics. ► a new home for equal rights, tolerance and democracy The Berlin Palace and the square where it is situated look back on a turbulent history. Even as the palace conjures notions of the building’s historical identity, the reconstructed palace will primarily serve as the home of the Humboldt-Forum; and thus help foster a respectful and equitable world community founded on the principle of diversity. History, however, will not be buried in the process: a number of freely accessible areas will address the palace’s history and reveal traces of the past. ► a historical, present, and future obligation Following in the spirit of Alexander and Wilhelm von Humboldt, the brothers who give the Humboldt-Forum its name and conceptual ideas, the forum is characterised by its cosmopolitan worldview and democratic consciousness. Actors and partners of the Humboldt-Forum committed to this tradition include the Stiftung Preussischer Kulturbesitz (Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation) with its two National Museums, the Berlin State, with especially the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, as well as the Stiftung Berliner Schloss – Humboldt Forum (Berlin Palace – Humboldt Forum Foundation).

  • Ankauf Reimarherbst-Erläuterungsbericht
    Wiedererrichtung des Berliner Schlosses 771828 Bau des Humboldt-Forums im Schlossareal Berlin Erläuterungstext Wettbewerbsentwurf Leitidee des Entwurfes ist es mit dem Bau des Humboldt-Forums den städtebaulichen Raum entsprechend des historischen Vermächtnisses wieder herzustellen und den Dialog mit den angrenzenden Strukturen wieder aufzunehmen. Diesem Ansatz folgend wird die Stereometrie des ehemaligen Berliner Schlosses mit zwei Höfen und dem Apothekerflügel aufgenommen und neu interpretiert. Raum Der Baukörper definiert und hierarchisiert Räume: den städtischen Außenraum, Schlossplatz, Schlossfreiheit und Schlossterrassen mit Lustgarten, die öffentlichen Höfe, die Agora und die internen Atrien. Transparenz Die Verknüpfung dieser Räume eröffnet Blickbeziehungen zwischen den städtischen Räumen und aus dem Gebäude in typologisch differenzierte Freiräume. Städtebau Mit der Kubatur des ehemaligen Schlosses und des Apothekerflügels werden stadträumliche Kanten und das historische Platzgefüge wieder hergestellt. Das Alte Museum und der Dom erhalten mit dem „Neubau“ das historische Gegenüber und der Lustgarten seine historische Einfassung. Kolonnaden Die räumliche Fassung wird durch das Motiv der Kolonnaden verstärkt, die vom Alten Museum übernommen und über den Säulengang des Berliner Doms über die Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse hinweg zum Humboldtforum überleiten und direkt ins Neue Gebäude führen. Höfe Der Erhalt der beiden Höfe in ihrer ursprünglichen Größe und Offenheit war höchste Priorität, um das Humboldt-Forum, so wie ehemals das Berliner Schloss, ganzheitlich in das Gewebe der städtischen Struktur einzubinden. Im Inneren des Gebäudes erinnert der zentrale Luftraum in der Agora an den historischen Eishof. Durchwegung Das Humboldt-Forum nimmt die historischen Erschließungs- und Blickachsen auf und führt den Besucher über alle fünf historischen Portale in die offenen und miteinander verbundenen Höfe. Beide Höfe sind durch Kolonnaden räumlich gegliedert.

    MUSEUMS AND MIGRATION, 2009–17 A report exploring the case for a national migration museum, and a migration museums network Authors: Dr Cathy Ross and Emma Shapiro 1 CONTENTS PAGE 1. Introduction 3 2. Museums and migration, 2009–17 4 • Local, regional and city museums • Specialist museums • Museum practice • National museums • The wider heritage sector • Universities and schools 3. The future 15 • Is there a role for a national museum of migration? • Is there a role for a migration network among existing museums? 4. Summary and key findings 18 2 1. INTRODUCTION This report looks at the representation of migration in English museums since 2009. The report has been prompted by two questions: • Would a national museum of migration make a useful contribution to the museum sector? • Would a specialist network about migration make a useful contribution to the museum sector? This report follows on from an earlier report by Dr Mary Stevens, published by the IPPR in 2009,1 which concluded that migration was a subject of such fundamental importance to Britain’s national story that it merited a new museum ‘dedicated to telling the whole story’. Stevens saw Britain’s ‘collective failure to engage in an informed way with contemporary migration patterns’ as deriving from ‘our ignorance about this aspect of our history’. Moreover, Britain’s ‘carefully orchestrated amnesia’ about migration contrasted with the situation in other countries. In short, ‘our migration stories deserve a more prominent place in our national self-understanding and need to be more visible in our heritage institutions’. This report seeks to provide a short update of developments in UK museums and galleries since Stevens’ analysis.

  • Photographer Frank Theil on Today's Berlin
    Thaddeus-Johns, Josie. “Photographer Frank Theil On Today’s Berlin: ‘No Boundaries Between People’.” Culture Trip. September 25, 2019. Photographer Frank Thiel continues to document the transformation of Berlin following the fall of the Wall | (c) Antony Sojka-Metcalfe / Culture Trip Photographer Frank Thiel has made a career out of keeping his lens fixed on the constant transformation of Berlin, a city still dealing with the trauma of being cleaved in two. Much has changed, much has been lost, and much has been created, but the German capital still marches to its own beat, led by some of the world’s most forward-thinking creatives. A castle is being reconstructed right in the centre of Berlin. The Humboldt Forum at Schloßplatz will combine two of the city’s biggest museum collections and will open in phases over the next two years. The first version of the Berlin Palace (Stadtschloss) came down in 1950, demolished by the German Democratic Republic to make room for its parliament building, the Palast der Republik, which then suffered a similar fate in 2008. Boxhagener Straße is lined with a number of shops and restaurants © Tony Sojka / Culture Trip The current architectural development is of particular interest to artist Frank Thiel, who photographed the Palast der Republik just before demolition began, in 2003, as part of a series of untitled works about the changing architecture of Berlin after the Wall fell. These images often single out the endless interlocking triangles of a building’s rafters, or the vast floors of a desolate building, producing a moment of tense stillness.

Museums and Museology useology is not a new science: when the pleasure and the practice of collecting objects, due to its exotic, rare, beautiful or M inherently valuable nature gave way to the institutionalization of public spaces designed to have them be enjoyed at will, museums were born as organized systems. Museology studies the methods and the appropriate techniques to collect, sort, preserve and display those items. All the progress achieved in the scientific world, advances operated by new technologies and the evolution of values and behaviours of human societies have given way to new concepts applicable to this kind of spaces. New models for such institutions have been theorised, tested and perfected by means of a greater rigor and systematization of the records.
