Creatively bringing together constitutional, political, and aesthetic theory, Douglas argues that museums and constitutions invite visitors to identify with a prescribed set of political constituencies based on national, ethnic, or anthropocentric premises. In both cases, these stable categories gloss over the radical messiness of the world and ask us to conflate representation with democracy. Yet the museum, when paired with the constitution, can also serve as a resource in the production of alternative imaginations of community. Consequently, Douglas's key contribution is the articulation of a theory of counter-monumental constitutionalism, using the museum, that seeks to move beyond individual and collective forms of sovereignty that have dominated postcolonial and postapartheid theories of law and commemoration. She insists on the need to reconsider deep questions about how we conceptualize the limits of ourselves, as well as our political communities, in order to attend to everyday questions of justice in the courtroom, the museum, and beyond. Curating Community is a book for academics, artists, curators, and constitutional designers interested in legacies of violence, transitional justice, and democracy." $c --publisher's description. 650 0 $a Museums $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Museums $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Museums $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Community life. 650 7 $a Community life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00871028 650 7 $a Museums $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030191 650 7 $a Museums $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030193 650 7 $a Museums $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030203 650 7 $a Museum $2 gnd 650 7 $a Verfassung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Gemeinschaft $2 gnd 650 7 $a Rechtsphilosophie $2 gnd 655 7 $a Legal Canadiana. $2 osgoode hall law school 830 0 $a Law, meaning, and violence. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721015526.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A252FE14129911EBB48536AA50ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
