practice, postcolonial activism, and museums
How can we rethink
anthropology beyond itself? In this book, twenty-one artists, anthropologists,
and curators grapple with how anthropology has been formulated, thought, and
practised ‘elsewhere’ and ‘otherwise’. They do so by unfolding ethnographic case
studies from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Poland – and
through conversations that expand these geographies and genealogies of
contemporary exhibition-making. This collection considers where and how
anthropology is troubled, mobilised, and rendered meaningful.
Across Anthropology charts new ground by analysing the convergences of
museums, curatorial practice, and Europe’s reckoning with its colonial
legacies. Situated amid resurgent debates on nationalism and identity politics,
this book addresses scholars and practitioners in fields spanning the arts,
social sciences, humanities, and curatorial studies.
