Description
Queering the Museum develops a queer analysis of how museums construct themselves and their publics through inherited ways of knowing and doing. It critiques modern museum practices and ontological assumptions, exploring recent discourse around inclusion in museums. The authors highlight the limits of approaches to inclusion and the failure to move away from traditional museological paradigms. Instead, they outline an alternative critical museological approach that provides readers with tools for a profound rethinking of museum practice. This book will appeal to academics, students, and practitioners working in fields such as museum studies, sociology, archaeology, anthropology, cultural studies, media, social policy, politics, philosophy, and history.
