Paperback. Provenance research for non-Western heritage in Europe is now a must in the field of museum studies and cultural policy studies, yet no scholarly work has scrutinised the collections of the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren (Belgium) as a whole.While the institution's history and some of its scientific sections or collections have already been investigated, at times in great depth, this book provides new frameworks for interpretation in the light of current debates. Structured around two lines - the heritage field in historical and contemporary Belgo-Congolese contexts, and the more specific case of the Tervuren museum's collections (which, moreover, are neither solely cultural nor Central African) -, this collection of texts gives a broad overview in the form of recent and previously unpublished research, updated summaries of prior investigations, interviews, and artistic contributions.The book also explores new trends in provenance research for colonial collections and evaluates both the possibilities and the limitations of such research, its implications for our understanding of colonial history as a whole, and the challenges facing museums today.Text in English and French. This collection of texts gives a broad overview of the collections of the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren (Belgium) in the form of recent and previously unpublished research, updated summaries of prior investigations, interviews, and artistic contributions. Text in English and French. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

About this title

Synopsis

Alors que la � recherche de provenance � concernant les patrimoines extra‐occidentaux en Europe est devenue incontournable dans le champ de la recherche mus�ale (et dans celui des politiques culturelles), les collections du Mus�e royal de l'Afrique centrale � Tervuren (Belgique) n'ont jamais fait l'objet d'un examen critique dans leur globalit� au sein d'un ouvrage scientifique qui leur soit consacr�. Si l'histoire de l'institution, de certaines de ses sections scientifiques et/ou collections a bien s�r d�j� fait l'objet d'�tudes parfois pouss�es, ce livre fournit de nouvelles grilles de lecture � l'aune des d�bats actuels. Construit autour de deux axes ‐ le champ patrimonial dans les contextes belgo‐congolais historiques et contemporains ainsi que le cas plus pr�cis des collections (pas uniquement culturelles ni provenant de l'Afrique centrale d'ailleurs) du Mus�e de Tervuren ‐, il propose un vaste survol dans une compilation de textes : recherches r�centes et in�dites mais aussi synth�ses actualis�es de travaux ant�rieurs, entretiens et interventions artistiques. En outre, l'ouvrage explore de nouveaux courants de la recherche de provenance sur les collections coloniales et �value tant les possibilit�s et limites de celle‐ci que ses implications pour notre compr�hension de l'histoire coloniale dans sa totalit� et les enjeux pour les mus�es aujourd'hui. Cette publication collective propose des textes en fran�ais ou en anglais
