Museum Matters by Miruna Achim
Rosie Byler, eine junge Amisch-Frau, ist dabei, ihre Rolle im Leben zu finden. Das Angebot ihrer Gromutter, in deren Backerei mitzuarbeiten, kommt ihr sehr gelegen. Sie freut ich auf die neue Aufgabe - und auch darauf, ihren heimlichen Schwarm Jason taglich im Geschaft sehen zu konnen. Aus den Heimlichkeiten wird eine tiefe Freundschaft und schlielich Liebe. Da schlagt das Schicksal in der Byler-Familie zu. Rosie wird gefordert und steht ihre Frau. Immerhin ist da immer noch Jason, der zu ihr halt, auch wenn eine gluckliche Zukunft fur Rosie und Jason plotzlich in sehr weite Ferne ruckt.
“This exciting new volume gathers penetrating new studies on the formation of Mexico’s national collections, from antiquities to natural history specimensThe volume is essential reading for anyone interested in the formation of museums, particularly how such institutions participate in the production of knowledge over time. Filled with strikingly original and important contributions, the volume will be widely read by scholars in history, anthropology, museum studies, art history, archaeology, and other related fields.”—Joanne Pillsbury, The Metropolitan Museum of Art
“Museum Matters mines the vast collections of material culture in Mexico’s museological archipelago. Through its focus on objects—some fake, some lost, some devalued or deaccessioned over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries—the volume lays the groundwork for new directions in Mexican history while also complicating discourses that view the museum as a totalizing instrument of state authority and control. Rather than focus exclusively on Mexico’s spectacular collections of archaeology and fine art, this volume emphasizes other material domains, such as human remains, taxidermy, glass models, and natural specimens, to name only a few. The essays are generative as they mine the archives of Mexicanidad, offering critical insights, new horizons, and even radical opportunities for revaluing or intervening in how the nation displays and constitutes its museological patrimony.”—Mary K. Coffey, author of How a Revolutionary Art Became Official Culture: Murals, Museums, and the Mexican State
