Starting from the perspectives of things themselves, it outlines a particular approach - a displacement anthropology - to the museum, anthropology and material culture. The book explores the ways in which the objects are experienced in their present, displaced settings, and the implications and potentialities they carry. It offers insights into matters of difference and the hope that may be offered by transformative encounters between persons and things. Drawing on anthropological studies of ritual to conceptualise and examine displacement and its implications and possibilities, Dudley develops her arguments through exploration of displaced objects now in museums and dislocated or exiled from their prior geographical, historical, cultural, intellectual and personal contexts. The book's approach and conclusions are relevant far beyond the museum, showing that even in the most difficult of circumstances there is agency, distinction and dignity in the choices and impacts that are made, and that things and places as well as people have efficacy and potency in those choices. In Displaced Things, displacement emerges as fundamental to understanding the lives of things and their relationships with human beings, and the places, however defined, that they make and pass within. The book will be essential reading for academics and students engaged in the study of museums, heritage, anthropology, culture and history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Material culture $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Museums $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Displacement (Psychology) 651 0 $a Burma $x Antiquities. 650 0 $a Kayah (Southeast Asian people) $x Material culture. 650 0 $a Cultural property $x Moral and ethical aspects. $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Antiquities $x Moral and ethical aspects. $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Museums $x Social aspects. $x Social aspects. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Dudley, Sandra H., $t Displaced things in museums and beyond $d New York : Routledge, 2020. $z 9781315678832 $w (DLC) 2020027108 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707011112.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2D9A3F34C43111EB854196005EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
