Samenvatting
This yearbook presents the work of the four-year program on Museums, Collection and Society (MCS). The MCS program aims at stimulating collection-based research, in an interdisciplinary way. The collections stored and curated in museums, universities and private institutions are no longer seen as ‘neutral’ entities to be enjoyed without political connotations. There are now intensive discussions about the collections- who owns them or how should they be stored of exhibited. These issues are central to museum-related discussions and they show that there is an intensive relationship between objects and people, not only in terms of contestation, but also in regular daily life, in the construction of identities and in terms of agency. What happens when you enjoy seeing an object, or when you are impressed by it? These types of questions demand the involvement of various disciplines: archaeology, anthropology, art history, history, sociology, psychology and of course a science-based approach. |
