Description
Curating as Ethics explores how curating can be more than just selecting and presenting information. It argues that curating can constitute an ethics, one of acquiring, arranging, and distributing knowledge about the world. The book examines the work of various philosophers to establish the ground on which this ethics is based. It then focuses on the activity of curating as such, including sharing, caring, preparing, and dispensing information. This approach moves beyond traditional museum and exhibition studies to provide an ethics for anyone engaged in curatorial activities, including those using social media. By combining philosophy and curating, Curating as Ethics offers a new perspective on how we acquire, arrange, and distribute knowledge about the world.
