Sentient Relics explores museums through cinema and challenges the
dominant focus of museum theory as an inclusion-exclusion debate.
The author responds to the Enlightenment, 'rational' museum of
reason contrasting this with the museum of affect and reveals these
'two museums' operating alongside one another in a productive
paradox. In structuralist-orientated museum theory the affective
realm is often subsumed within the imperatives of Marxist theory
and practice, identity politics, semiology and psychoanalysis.
Sentient Relics, while valuing the insights of ideologically
focused meaning-making, turns to the capacity of the affective
realm of experience to transform the passive subject and object
relation. The author uses museum encounters and cinematic affect to
engage with problems of difference, temporality, emotion and the
sublime. In so doing the book advances research in museum studies
by demonstrating what is at stake in pragmatically working toward a
deeper understanding of the museum socially, culturally and
philosophically.
