Queering the Museum develops a queer analysis of the ways in which
museums construct themselves, their core business, and their
publics through the, often unconscious, use of inherited ways of
knowing and doing. Providing a critique of both the practices and
conventions associated with the modern public museum, and the
ontological assumptions that inform them, the authors consider
recent discourse around inclusion in museums and explore the ways
this has been taken up in practice. Highlighting the limits of
particular approaches to inclusion, and the failure to move away
from a traditional museological paradigm, the book outlines an
alternative critical museological approach that the authors refer
to as 'queer'. Providing readers with the critical tools necessary
for a profound rethinking of museum practice, the book also
responds to and problematises the growing call for social
inclusion. Queering the Museum will appeal to academics, students,
and museum and arts sector practitioners with an interest in
critical theory or queer practice. It will be of particular
interest to those working in the fields of museum studies,
sociology, archaeology, anthropology, cultural studies, media,
social policy, politics, philosophy, and history.
