L’écomuséologie pour dénouer les crises de l’humanisme moderne
Dans cet article, Fiona Cameron présente sa conception d’une vision curatoriale qui libérerait la pratique muséale de l’anthropocentrisme, une proposition qu’elle développe dans son récent ouvrage Museum Practices and the Posthumanities: Curating for Planetary Habitability. L’écomuséologie pour laquelle elle plaide met en œuvre une approche intégrée et plus-qu’humaine de l’entendement du monde pour contribuer à préserver une planète capable de ma…
Climate Collections and Photosynthetic, Fossil-Fueled Atmospheres
Historical, cultural, and technological collections are routinely put to work to illustrate narratives of progress, history, and identity. They can also convey new stories that articulate how cultural objects might serve as material expressions of climate change embedded in climate processes. This article considers the oldest surviving largely unaltered Boulton and Watt rotative engine, housed in the collection of the Science Museum, London, as a…
Museum, Field, Colony
The papers selected for this special issue of Museum and Society have their beginnings in the workshop, 'Colonial Governmentalities', held in late October 2012 and hosted by the Institute of Culture and Society, University of Western Sydney, followed by the seminar 'Reassembling the material,' hosted by the Museum and Heritage Studies programmes at Victoria University of Wellington in early November. The stimulus for these events was the internat…
Two anthropological assemblages
In this paper we investigate two anthropological assemblages in Aotearoa/New Zealand in the 1920s and 1930s and how each were used in the adjudication of forms of governmental regulation of Māori populations. We explore the radically different agencements and socio-technical arrangements of people, things and ideas that were formulated within these contexts. Henry Devenish Skinner, curator of the Otago Museum and Anthropology lecturer at the Univ…
From “Dead Things” to Immutable, Combinable Mobiles
This paper draws on Callon's [2005 Callon, Michael. 2005. “Why Virtualism Paves the Way to Political Impotence: A Reply to Daniel Miller's Critique of The Laws of the Markets.” Economic Sociology: European Electronic Newsletter 6 (2): 3–20.

Representing climate change in museum space and places
Museums and science centers hold a unique position in the media and political landscape as trusted information sources and are emerging as key players in climate change debates. The modes of engagement with audiences, visitors, and publics allow museums to provide sensorial and affective experiences though the agency of objects and immersive environments, which facilitate an active role on the part of audiences in cocreating narratives around cli…
Climate change, agencies and the museum and science centre sector
Climate change is a vast, complex phenomena impinging on biological and social life, economics, politics, and culture, stretching disciplines beyond current limits and inviting a new, critical examination of the roles and capacities of museums and science centres in these complex ecologies.1 1. See Hodge (2011 Hodge , B. 2011 . Climate change & the museum sector: 10 reflections from the ‘Hot Science, Global Citizens’ symposium . http://ccr.uws.ed…
Cosmopolitics, border crossings and the complex museum
Collections documentation systems are powerful frameworks for organising, producing and controlling cultural knowledge. Drawing on the findings from the Australian Research Council Linkage project Reconceptualising Heritage Collections (University of Western Sydney and Powerhouse Museum, Sydney, Australia) and research undertaken using the museum's Palestinian collections through wikis and focus groups with constituencies in Australia, Israel and…
Climate change as a complex phenomenon and the problem of cultural governance
From mitigation to creativity
Climate change as a complex, scientific, cultural, ideological, and transnational issue poses a new set of challenges for museums and science centres as places to inform, and as information sources in debates and decision processes. In this paper, I draw on quantitative and qualitative research from the Australian Research Council funded Linkage project, Hot Science, Global Citizens: the agency of the museum sector in climate change interventions…
Museums and science centres as sites for deliberative democracy on climate change
This paper addresses the position of the museum sector in relation to public policy-making about climate change. It is informed by the perspectives of museum and science centre visitors and leaders canvassed as part of the Australian Research Council Linkage project, ‘Hot Science, Global Citizens: the agency of the museum sector in climate change interventions’. We apply complexity theory to evaluate the claim that museums are a site for the enac…
Saving the ‘disappearing islands’
The ‘disappearing islands’ is a distinct idea that emerged out of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report to describe the vulnerability of small island states in the Pacific to sea-level rise as a result of climate change. In this article I deploy the ‘disappearing islands’ to map the complex politics of climate change governance. Through various governmental rationalities the ‘disappearing islands’ are operationalized as proof of cl…
Theorizing Digital Cultural Heritage
Complexity, Transdisciplinarity and Museum Collections Documentation
Our world is becoming increasingly complex, characterized by mobile, global networks, flows and fluids of culture producing new levels of inter-connectivity and interaction. Museum collections are inducted into this hyper-complex world and wider debates in public culture through Googleenabled initiatives and links to YouTube, Flickr and MySpace. As museum culture and public culture reconnect through these various modalities, this poses new sets o…
Object-oriented democracies
Museum collections are increasingly connected to global flows of information via the Internet. These occurrences are radically transforming the interfaces between collections, museums and communities, requiring a rethinking of how collections are conceived as markers of culture, the processes of acquisition and documentation, and the resultant meanings and significances attributed to them. Such transformations invite a more sustained analysis of …
Beyond the Cult of the Replicant
Digital Knowledgescapes
This chapter examines how documentation and interpretation of museum collections within databases can be reconceptualized to form new knowledge models in line with contemporary theoretical and pedagogical public access concerns, as well as the capabilities of emerging technological innovation. Drawing on the findings of two research projects called Knowledge Objects and Themescaping Virtual Collections, it discusses the theoretical, cultural, and…
Theorizing Digital Cultural Heritage
Theoretical and practical perspectives from a range of disciplines on the challenges of using digital media in interpretation and representation of cultural heritage. In Theorizing Digital Cultural Heritage, experts offer a critical and theoretical appraisal of the uses of digital media by cultural heritage institutions. Previous discussions of cultural heritage and digital technology have left the subject largely unmapped in terms of critical th…

In Theorizing Digital Cultural Heritage, experts offer a critical and theoretical appraisal of the uses of digital media by cultural heritage institutions. Previous discussions of cultural heritage and digital technology have left the subject largely unmapped in terms of critical theory; the essays in this volume offer this long-missing perspective on the challenges of using digital media in the research, preservation, management, interpretation,…
Contentiousness and shifting knowledge paradigms
Museums globally exist in an academic, cultural and social context of contest and controversy. A long-established practice of exhibiting ‘the facts’, ‘truth’, ‘national history’ or unproblematic conceptions of ‘other’ places and peoples is no longer wholly sustainable in an environment where the self-evidence of all these things is under question. Topics of global importance that challenge, upset, intrigue and attract are now legitimate areas for…
The Roman Pottery
The general condition of the Roman pottery from this site, which is very fragmentary and badly abraded, probably indicates that it has been disturbed a good deal since its deposition by subsequent agricultural or other activity and it is therefore unlikely that much of it was found in its original contexts. By far the majority of the material consists of coarse ware body sherds and the limited proportion of fine wares for ¿ill periods is probably…
The Neolithic Causewayed Enclosure at Staines, Surrey
The partial excavation under rescue conditions in 1961–63 of the ditches and interior of an enclosure of the earlier neolithic period is described. The enclosure, covering a total area of approximately 2.4 ha, was defined by double concentric interrupted ditches, which were for the most part naturally filled. There were many traces of activity within the interior, presumed to be contemporary with the ditches, including pits, gullies, post- and st…
