  • Anthropological Museology
    Anthropological Museology ANT 3181 Section 13H8 Spring 2013 Meeting Periods: Monday, Periods 2-4 (8:30-11:30AM) Classrooms: Rinker Hall, Room 106 Instructor: Austin Bell Office: B123, Turlington Hall Phone: (605)-366-4048 Email: [email protected] Office Hours: Tuesdays (9:00AM-12:00PM) and by appointment Course Overview and Objectives This class examines the history and purpose of museums as institutions that preserve, display, and interpret cultural materials. We examine how museums developed, the role of exhibits and collections, and the changing social role of museums in modern culture. We also consider how to interpret human subjects and cultures in museum settings. Various aspects of museum practice, management, and organization are addressed. Course materials and lectures prepare students to critique and evaluate museum practice. Written assignments are an important component of the course grade (non Gordon Rule credit). Written assignments should demonstrate the integration of readings, lectures, and original thought. The four short written assignments (2 pages each) and final critique should integrate lecture, readings, as well as your museum experience. By the end of class you should understand the historical origins of museums, how museums are organized, fundamentals of collection care and curation, how exhibits are conceptualized and created, and issues facing anthropological museums and museums in general. Textbooks and Required Readings The required textbooks for the course are as follows: Burcaw, G. Ellis 1997 Introduction to

Include definitions and key terms. after the video. Where was Napoleon born? Why is judging Napoleon complicated? At what age did Napoleon become a general? What did Napoleon accomplish? What did the Code Napoleon do that was so important? WWW.PRAGERU.COM DISCUSSION & REVIEW QUESTIONS: • Towards the beginning of the video, Professor Roberts contends that, “At the peak of his power, he [Napoleon] personally controlled more of the European continent than anyone since the great emperors of Rome. Today, most people see him as an ambitious little man with an outsized ego. Others see him as a forerunner of the great aggressor of the twentieth century, Adolph Hitler. This portrait is as flawed as it is unfair.” Why do you think that some people judge Napoleon so negatively? Why do you think that Professor Roberts characterizes an exclusively negative view of Napoleon as ‘flawed’ and ‘unfair’? Explain. • After sharing Napoleon’s early history with us, Professor Roberts points out that, “As shrewd a politician as he was a general, by the first month of the new century, at the tender age of 30, Napoleon was the undisputed leader of France. He crowned himself Emperor on December 2, 1804, turning the French Republic into the French Empire, with a Bonaparte line of succession.” What factors do you think contributed to Napoleon rising to power at such a relatively young age? Explain. Why do you think that Napoleon so drastically and fundamentally changed the way the French government worked? Do you think that Napoleon should have crowned himself an emperor? Why or why not? • Professor Roberts notes that, “To Europe, Napoleon brought the best fruits of the French Revolution: concepts of equality and meritocracy.

  • Ethnographic Objects As Material Culture and As Cultural Heritage: Ethnographic Collections and Exhibits in Slovenia Until the First Half of the 20Th Century1
    Nar. umjet. 47/1, 2010, pp. 6989, J. Hudales, Ethnographic Objects as Material Culture Review article Received: March 19, 2010 Accepted: April 22, 2010 UDK 069.5:39](497.4) JOE HUDALES Department of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology, Faculty of Arts, Ljubljana ETHNOGRAPHIC OBJECTS AS MATERIAL CULTURE AND AS CULTURAL HERITAGE: ETHNOGRAPHIC COLLECTIONS AND EXHIBITS IN SLOVENIA UNTIL THE FIRST HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY1 The article presents the development of Slovenian museum collections from their beginnings to the end of the 20th century. The main point of interest is a museum (especially ethnographic) object, which is still considered as one of cornerstones of museology. The author follows major shifts in some most important museum collec- tions; Auersperg collection, Valvasors collection in the castle Bogenperk in the 16th and 17th century, early ethnographic collections at the Regional museum of Carniola during the 19th century and the rst ethnographic collection in the rst half of the 20th century in which ethnographic exhibits were considered as cultural heritage. Key words: cultural heritage, ethnographic collections, ethnographic exhibits, his- torical museology, museum Susan Pearce, the author of famous and frequently quoted statement Objects are the heart of museums, said at the beginning of March 2010, when she was holding a lecture for the Slovenian museum workers, that she still thinks that objects and collections represent the base of museums and their cultural mission and that she rmly believes in that. She is by no means alone in her belief. Zbynek Stransky who was putting forward his de nition of museology as a new and independent academic science in the 1960s and 1970s set the issues of museum objects and their function in museology as one of the most fundamental issues dealt with in 1 This article is based on the authors book Slovenski muzeji in etnologija: Od kabinetov Āudes do muzejev 21.

  • Collection Policy
    COLLECTION POLICY Collecting is at the heart of the Witte Museum’s mission and must be done with clear purpose and well-articulated guidelines. The museum’s Collection Plan provides the guidelines for what the museum will collect. The Collection Policy sets forth the professional standards and responsibilities for the care and management of collections as required of an accredited museum. The Collections Department Procedures Manual covers procedures for implementing this policy. This policy should be reviewed every five years or as necessary to reflect changes in staff, strategic plan, Collection Plan, or museum practices at large. I. MISSION Statement The Witte Museum promotes lifelong learning through innovative exhibitions, programs, and collections in natural history, science, and South Texas heritage II. VISION STATEMENT Through innovative programs in history, science, and culture the Witte Museum enriches lives, promotes a quality of life for all South Texas people and generates a legacy of knowledge.

  • CURATOR CORE COMPETENCIES American Alliance of Museums Curators Committee
    CURATOR CORE COMPETENCIES American Alliance of Museums Curators Committee Standing Committee on Ethics ABSTRACT Curator Core Competencies is a comprehensive statement of the domains in which curators work, the duties they perform, and the applied skills that they must all possess to be successful in today’s profession. It defines who we are, what we do, and why curators are important. 1 A Curator’s Core Competencies Introduction The role of the museum curator is rewarding, broad and challenging. This compilation of curatorial core competencies created by CurCom’s Standing Committee on Ethics addresses the skills required of curators to be successful in their profession. During the creation of this document, several sources provided valuable information regarding the skills identified by respective institutions as integral to the role of curators. The AAM, CurCom’s Code of Ethics, US Federal Government’s position classifications, US National Park Service classifications, College Art Association’s standards and guidelines, International Committee for the Training of Personnel and International Council of Museums served as references, helping to create the foundation for this document. Most important were the informal conversations with curatorial colleagues and conference sessions since the 2012 AAM annual meeting, which provided valuable insights into the demands on museum curators today, and revealed the growing need to formally study curatorial education, experience, and training, as well as to express the competencies required to practice the craft. The 2014 survey conducted by CurCom validated much of the input taken from these discussions and revealed other interesting considerations. For all the things this document is, there are several things that it is not.

  • 30 Years After the New Museology: What's Changed?
    Zeszyty Naukowe Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego Prace Etnograficzne 2020, 49, z. 2, s. 173–187 doi:10.4467/22999558.PE.20.014.12639 www.ejournals.eu/Prace-Etnograficzne/ Nick Merriman Horniman Museum and Gardens, London e-mail: [email protected] 30 Years after the New Museology: What’s Changed? I am currently chief executive of the Horniman Museum and Gardens in London, but in order to explore what has changed since 1989 when “The New Museology” was published, I want to go back a bit further. And please forgive me if my reflec- tions are rooted primarily in the Anglo-phone world; this has been the context in which I have worked over my career. In September 1982, after an archaeology degree at Cambridge, I went to the University of Leicester to do a one-year postgraduate course in Museum Stud- ies, something they had been offering since the mid 1960s. It was a very practical course, aimed at giving people the skills and understanding to go and work in a museum. So we did sessions on labelling objects, writing press releases, docu- mentation, practical management and so on. There was really no “theory”, except a little about communication and education, which was from a psychological back- ground. There was some quasi-philosophical thinking such as Duncan Cameron’s proposition that a museum should be a forum, not a temple (Cameron 1971), and Hugues de Varine’s writings about ecomuseums and the role of museums in soci- ety (Varine 1978). But there was pretty well no consideration of politics, ideology, representation or any kind of critical approach to museums.

Indigenous Australian and Torres Strait Islander artifacts were loaned to the Australian museum by the British Museum. At the close of the exhibition, one item, the Gweagal shield, was claimed for repatriation. The repatriation request had not been approved at the time of this research. The Gweagal shield is a historically significant artifact for Indigenous and non- Indigenous Australians. Analysis takes into account the political economy of the two museums and situates the exhibition within the relevant museum policies. This thesis argues that, while the shield has not yet returned to Australia, the discussions about what a return would mean are part of the larger process of repatriation. It is during these discussions that the rights to material culture are negotiated.
