This open access book explores the multiple forms of curatorial
agencies that develop when museum collection digitisations,
narratives and new research findings circulate online. Focusing on
Viking Age objects, it tracks the effects of antagonistic debates
on discussion forums and the consequences of search engines,
personalisation, and machine learning on American-based online
platforms. Furthermore, it considers eco-systemic processes
comprising computation, rare-earth minerals, electrical currents
and data centres and cables as novel forms of curatorial actions.
Thus, it explores curatorial agency as social constructivist,
semiotic, algorithmic, and material. This book is of interest to
scholars and students in the fields of museum studies, cultural
heritage and media studies. It also appeals to museum practitioners
concerned with curatorial innovation at the intersection of
humanist interpretations and new materialist and more-than-human
frameworks.

Salsa and Its Transnational Moves presents a brilliant critical
analysis of salsa dancing in a major North American city. Drawing
from a vast number of disciplines, author Sheenagh Pietrobruno
focuses on the tension between the status of dance as a bodily
expression of identity and its function as a cultural commodity
within the economic life of modern day cities. This engaging work
investigates the transnational movements of salsa by exploring the
circulation of salsa within the Montreal dance scene, nourished by
the continuous flow of a people, and examining the commodification
of the Latino culture. Pietrobruno's analysis is singular in
highlighting how the migration of a people and a dance represent
displacements that are not always homologous. At the core of this
work, Pietrobruno offers an extensive and intricate ethnography of
the institutions and individuals involved in shaping the Montreal
salsa scene that will appeal to academics and general audiences
alike, who are interested in the study of anthropology, popular
music, dance, gender, ethnicity, and culture.
