CALL FOR PAPERS: THE CHALLENGING MUSEUM/CHALLENGING THE MUSEUM
The theme statement for ICOM's General Conference in Shanghai 7-12 Nov.
2010 invites examinations of how museums can contribute to processes
that are important for the development of societies. In line with this,
ICME/2010/Shanghai invites papers addressing
THE CHALLENGING MUSEUM/CHALLENGING THE MUSEUM
ICME invites discussions of approaches and experiences of how museums of
cultures and societies address themes that are perceived as difficult,
controversial, raising dilemmas, exploring delicate balances, like
between the political/moral/publicity/professional/ethical/etc.
considerations.
We are not looking for the unanimously successful stories, the easy
ways. We'd rather debate cases with no clear conclusion, where our
doubts and reflections are welcomed, but simple self-praise is not.
The topic will be followed up in the years after the ICME/2010 meeting
through an ICME Work Group chaired by Per B. Rekdal.
Expressions of interest may be sent to ICME Chair Annette Fromm
([log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask]) and Per B.
Rekdal ([log in to unmask]). Please mail us both since different spam
filters have different and too often unfathomable prejudices.
ICME (the International Committee for Museums of Ethnography) is an
international committee of the International Council of Museums (ICOM)
devoted to ethnography (ethnology, anthropology, folk) museums focusing
on local, national and international cultures. ICME is concerned with
the challenges facing ethnographic museums and collections in a changing
world. Details of the ICME conference will be forthcoming on the ICME
web site http://icme. icom.museum
