"Just as Exhibiting Cultures and Museums and Communities set the agenda for museum debate over the last decade, Museum Frictions sets the agenda for the next. This is a wonderful book that must be read by anybody with an interest in museums, their transformations, dilemmas, challenges, politics, and futures."- Sharon Macdonald , editor of A Companion to Museum Studies, " Museum Frictions is a landmark publication which decenters the Western-centric bias of the existing literature. It shifts critical museology into a new register by challenging readers to think about the multiple ways that the globalization of a Western institution is transforming not only the dynamics of social interaction around the world but also the institutional nature of the museum itself."- Ruth B. Phillips , coeditor of Sensible Objects: Colonialism, Museums, and Material Culture, "Just as Exhibiting Cultures and Museums and Communities set the agenda for museum debate over the last decade, Museum Frictions sets the agenda for the next. This is a wonderful book that must be read by anybody with an interest in museums, their transformations, dilemmas, challenges, politics, and futures."-- Sharon Macdonald , editor of A Companion to Museum Studies, "Museum Frictions is not just a worthy successor to the preceding volumes Exhibiting Cultures and Museums and Communities, but a major leap forward. In the face of dramatic changes in the museum world during the past fifteen years, the last two volumes still remain a major platform for framing debate. I am confident that Museum Frictions will provide a similar service for the next fifteen."-Doran H. Ross, Director Emeritus of the UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History, "For every case study exemplified in this comprehensive, must-have reference book for museum studies, it does not take much difficulty to apply similar analyses to our own terrain to realise how immense is the field that we are engaged in. I thoroughly recommend the considerable scope, impeccable research and sheer relevance of "Museum Frictions" to potential readers." --Anne Kirker, "Museums Australia", " Museum Frictions is a landmark publication which decenters the Western-centric bias of the existing literature. It shifts critical museology into a new register by challenging readers to think about the multiple ways that the globalization of a Western institution is transforming not only the dynamics of social interaction around the world but also the institutional nature of the museum itself."-- Ruth B. Phillips , coeditor of Sensible Objects: Colonialism, Museums, and Material Culture " Museum Frictions is not just a worthy successor to the preceding volumes Exhibiting Cultures and Museums and Communities , but a major leap forward.

I am confident that Museum Frictions will provide a similar service for the next fifteen."-- Doran H. Ross , Director Emeritus of the Fowler Museum at UCLA "Just as Exhibiting Cultures and Museums and Communities set the agenda for museum debate over the last decade, Museum Frictions sets the agenda for the next. This is a wonderful book that must be read by anybody with an interest in museums, their transformations, dilemmas, challenges, politics, and futures."-- Sharon Macdonald , editor of A Companion to Museum Studies "This marvelous and broad-ranging compendium by an eminent group of scholars provides a thinking person's guide to contemporary museum work. It tackles the philosophical issues curators, directors, and professionals face in the art of cultural representation. How do you get the world's diverse people to talk to each other in meaningful and significant ways? This book provides the intellectual tools for doing so, dealing cogently and adeptly with the complexity of globalization, conflicting perspectives, and the noise proffered by popular media. For a long book with large themes, it reads amazingly well."-- Richard Kurin , Director of the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, Smithsonian Institution, " Museum Frictions is not just a worthy successor to the preceding volumes Exhibiting Cultures and Museums and Communities , but a major leap forward.

I am confident that Museum Frictions will provide a similar service for the next fifteen."- Doran H. Ross , Director Emeritus of the Fowler Museum at UCLA, "Like philosophies of life, political governments, cultures, museum treasure belongs to the people. This book further develops the attitude started in the earlier volumes, and for that purpose needs to be approved and appreciated." --Ray B. Browne," Journal of American Cultures", " Museum Frictions is not just a worthy successor to the preceding volumes Exhibiting Cultures and Museums and Communities , but a major leap forward.

Although these essays have emerged from research and experts in the field, they focus on the translation from theory into practice. Case studies make the work accessible, and creative approaches provoke our thinking. . . ." --Maree Boyce, "M/C Reviews", " Museum Frictions is a landmark publication which decenters the Western-centric bias of the existing literature.

Phillips , coeditor of Sensible Objects: Colonialism, Museums, and Material Culture, "[A] significant addition to the literature. . . . I recommend this book wholeheartedly. In many ways, this compendium is about hope, for new global forms of social interaction influence and are influenced by the changing nature of museums." --Jonathan Yorba, "Museum News", ""Museum Frictions" sets the agenda for the conjuncture of critical theory and practice in the museum world and arts and heritage industries as they continue to grapple with the effects of globalization." --Jonathan Zilberg, "Leonardo"

Synopsis
This third volume in a bestselling series on culture, society, and museums examines the effects of globalization on contemporary museum, heritage, and exhibition practices., Museum Frictions is the third volume in a bestselling series on culture, society, and museums. The first two volumes in the series, Exhibiting Cultures and Museums and Communities , have become defining books for those interested in the politics of museum display and heritage sites. Another classic in the making, Museum Frictions is a lavishly illustrated examination of the significant and varied effects of the increasingly globalized world on contemporary museum, heritage, and exhibition practice. The contributors--scholars, artists, and curators--present case studies drawn from Africa, Australia, North and South America, Europe, and Asia. Together they offer a multifaceted analysis of the complex roles that national and community museums, museums of art and history, monuments, heritage sites, and theme parks play in creating public cultures. Whether contrasting the transformation of Africa's oldest museum, the South Africa Museum, with one of its newest, the Lwandle Migrant Labor Museum; offering an interpretation of the audio guide at the Guggenheim Bilbao; reflecting on the relative paucity of art museums in Peru and Cambodia; considering representations of slavery in the United States and Ghana; or meditating on the ramifications of an exhibition of Australian aboriginal art at the Asia Society in New York City, the contributors highlight the frictions, contradictions, and collaborations emerging in museums and heritage sites around the world. The volume opens with an extensive introductory essay by Ivan Karp and Corinne A. Kratz, leading scholars in museum and heritage studies. Contributors.
