The museum has become a vital strategic space for negotiating
ownership of and access to knowledges produced in local settings.
Museum as Process presents community-engaged "culture work" of a
group of scholars whose collaborative projects consider the social
spaces between the museum and community and offer new ways of
addressing the challenges of bridging the local and the global.
Museum as Process explores a variety of strategies for engaging
source communities in the process of translation and the
collaborative mediation of cultural knowledges. Scholars from
around the world reflect upon their work with specific communities
in different parts of the world - Australia, Canada, Ghana, Great
Britain, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, South Africa,
Taiwan and the United States. Each global case study provides
significant insights into what happens to knowledge as it moves
back and forth between source communities and global sites,
especially the museum. Museum as Process is an important
contribution to understanding the relationships between museums and
source communities and the flow of cultural knowledge.
