This volume explores cultural, social and economic connections
between the Americas and the South Pacific. It reaches beyond
Sino-American collaborations to focus on rather neglected, and
sometimes invisible, Southern linkages, asking how these
connections originated and have developed over time, which local
responses they have generated, and what impact these processes have
in the region in terms of representational forms and strategies,
new cultural practices, and empowerment of individuals in
(post)colonial contexts. The volume also compares and contrasts
intriguing parallels of politics and identity formation. By
extending the focus beyond East Asia to the Southern Pacific
region, including Island connections with the Americas, the volume
provides a more comprehensive understanding of recent dynamics and
shifting relations across the Pacific. By approaching the
Transpacific Americas as an assemblage or relational space, which
is created and becomes meaningful through multiple localities and
their translocal connections, the book complicates the
Euro-American distinction between "centre" and "rim". While the
collection offers a distinctive geographical focus, it
simultaneously emphasizes the translocal qualities of specific
locations through their entanglements in transpacific assemblages
within and across cultural, social and economic spheres.
Furthermore, without neglecting the inextricable, historical
dimension of anthropological perspectives, the focus is on the
diverse and unexpected contemporary forms of cultural, social and
economic encounters and engagements, and on (re)emerging Indigenous
networks. Primarily based on empirical research, the volume
explores face-to-face encounters, relations "from below," and
transcultural interactions and relationships in, as well as ideas
and conceptualizations of, cultural spaces across localities that
have long been perceived as separate, but are indeed closely
interconnected.

What is the future of curatorship? Is there a vision for an ideal
model, a curatopia, whether in the form of a utopia or dystopia? Or
is there a plurality of approaches, amounting to a curatorial
heterotopia? This pioneering volume addresses these questions by
considering the current state of curatorship. It reviews the
different models and approaches operating in museums, galleries and
cultural organisations around the world and discusses emerging
concerns, challenges and opportunities. The collection explores the
ways in which the mutual, asymmetrical relations underpinning
global, scientific entanglements of the past can be transformed
into more reciprocal, symmetrical forms of cross-cultural
curatorship in the present, arguing that this is the most effective
way for curatorial practice to remain meaningful. International in
scope, the volume covers three regions: Europe, North America and
the Pacific. -- .

In which ways are environments (post-)socialist and how do they
come about? How is the relationship between the built environment,
memory, and debates on identity enacted? What are the spatial,
material, visual, and aesthetic dimensions of these
(post-)socialist enactments or interventions? And how do such
(post-)socialist interventions in environments become (re)curated?
By addressing these questions, this volume releases "curation" from
its usual museological framing and carries it into urban
environments and private life-worlds, from predominantly
state-sponsored institutional settings with often normative
orientations into spheres of subjectification, social creativity,
and material commemorative culture.
