Накратко на български

Музейните практики на коренното население в Пацифика изследват как техните културни предмети се съхраняват в европейски институции. Това помага за преосмисляне на връзката между европейските музеи и общностите, от които произхождат тези колекции.

Assembling the Transpacific: Indigenous Curatorial Practices, Material Cultures and Source Communities

The project ‘Assembling the Transpacific: Indigenous Curatorial Practices, Material Cultures and Source Communities’ has been devoted to the overall objective of producing a historically informed, ethnographic investigation of indigenous curatorship across the Pacific. As recent indigenous repatriation claims against the Humboldt Forum in Germany attest, the Eurocentric projection of anthropological imaginations has come under pressure, while postcolonial renegotiations in former European colonies, such as many South Pacific nations, have caused changes to anthropological practices through indigenous curatorial practices. This project has shaped a dialogue between both situations by offering indigenous perspectives that reframe the anthropological curatorship of Pacific collections in, and the production of public understandings through, ethnographic museums in Europe. The project has succeeded on several levels. First, six months of fieldwork have generated historically-informed, ethnographic insights into Indigenous knowledge production through museum practices and community engagement across the Pacific which offer a range of unique contributions and have formed part of numerous conference papers, seminar presentations and publications. Second, the project has also facilitated a conference at LMU Munich which has allowed indigenous curators to directly intervene in European debates and address the key question of how the relationships between indigenous people in the Pacific, collections in European institutions, and curatorial knowledge in museums globally be (re)conceptualized. Third, the project has contributed to, and significantly advanced, academic debates associated with the so-called material and ontological turns.

Цел на проекта

Since the 18th century, the discipline of anthropology has emerged through scientific exploration and colonial expansion beyond Europe, as well as the establishment of ethnographic collections and museums in Europe. Ethnographic objects thus influenced academic and public understandings of other cultural-geographic spaces. The often resulting Eurocentric projection of anthropological imaginations has come under severe pressure, as e.g. seen in recent indigenous repatriation claims against the Humboldtforum in Germany. Postcolonial renegotiations in former European colonies, such as many South Pacific nations, have caused dramatic changes to anthropological practices through indigenous curatorial practices. Ethnographic objects in European museums, however, remain largely disconnected from the cultural environments of their indigenous producers and the indigenous sources of anthropological knowledge. This project addresses this deficit through a multi-sited, collaborative ethnographic investigation of contemporary indigenous curatorial practices in two South Pacific museums located in Polynesia (Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and Museo Rapa Nui, Easter Island, Chile). The project generates historically informed, ethnographic insights into ‘the figure of the curator’ as an agent of indigenous knowledge production and community engagement across the Pacific. In doing so, the project presents indigenous perspectives that reframe the anthropological curatorship of Pacific collections in, and the production of public understandings through, ethnographic museums in Europe. The applicant has a track record of successful collaborations with indigenous scholars and is currently conducting a study of the Bishop Museum Hawai’i, which is also located in Polynesia. The IF project advances a cross-cultural anthropology overcoming scientific Eurocentrism, and provides ethnographic museums in Europe with a roadmap for renegotiating the curation of indigenous objects.
