Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Project Course: Exploring Global History in Museums

Investigations will concentrate on the Vienna WELTMUSEUM (World Museum). Similar institutions in other part of the world will serve for comparison.
In will also investigate collection strategies and look behind the history and politics of acquisition.
1) How are non Europeans and their worlds are presented in the world museums?
2) How the lines of inclusion and exclusion are drawn between the “we” and the “other” and between the “others”
3) How global connections are made visible (or neglected)?
4) What does “museum” mean, how does the institution reflect its own imperial past, how did it change against the background of global change?
5) How are practices of acquisitions argued vis-à-vis the public?
6) What are the impacts of a global approach to the stories that are told in the museum?
