Museums and Photography combines a strong theoretical approach with
international case studies to investigate the display of death in
various types of museums-history, anthropology, art, ethnographic,
and science museums - and to understand the changing role of
photography in museums. Contributors explore the politics and
poetics of displaying death, and more specifically, the role of
photography in representing and interpreting this difficult topic.
Working with nearly 20 researchers from different cultural
backgrounds and disciplines, the editors critically engage the
recent debate on the changing role of museums, exhibition
meaning-making, and the nature of photography. They offer new ways
for understanding representational practices in relation to
contemporary visual culture. This book will appeal to researchers
and museum professionals, inspiring new thinking about death and
the role of photography in making sense of it.
