SUMMARY:What Happens When a Museum Is Something Other than a Museum?
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Zachary Kopin\, PhD\, History \nFriday\, November 3 from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm\, UM Museum of Art auditorium \n  \nWhat Happens When a Museum Is Something Other than a Museum? \nConstitution Hill was once a notorious prison in colonial and apartheid South Africa. Churchill\, Ghandi\, Nelson and Winnie Mandela\, and Fatima Meer were imprisoned there. It was not uncommon for 75 prisoners to find themselves confined to a cell the size of a classroom. At the turn of the millennium\, in an effort to reclaim the space\, the newly democratic South Africa decided to place its Constitutional Court on the site\, while the city\, provincial\, and national governments created an entity to manage the site and tell its history. Many know Constitution Hill as a museum. Its formal name\, however\, is the Constitution Hill Development Company. \nWhat happens to a museum when its primary function is not to put its collections on display? This talk will discuss how the mandate to develop a precinct changes how a museum operates — the opportunities and risks that mandate creates. And how\, in a country struggling to recover from the damage of its past\, one balances reclamation against the demands of heritage preservation. \n  \nMuseums at Noon_Kopin

SUMMARY:Narrative and Nationalism: Islamic Science in American Museum Practice
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Amanda Respess\, PhD candidate\, Anthropology and History \nFriday\,  November 17 from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm\, UM Museum of Art auditorium \n  \nNarrative and Nationalism: Islamic Science in American Museum Practice \nArtifacts important to the history of science in Islamicate societies occupy peculiar ground in American museums\, often having trajectories in collections and exhibits that obscure\, rather than clarify\, their provenance and significance. Islamicate societies from the eighth century to the early modern period authored scientific advancements in an astonishing number of fields\, producing a multitude of objects now housed in museum collections around the world. These objects are\, however\, often conspicuously absent in American science museums; they are instead scattered among the collections of American art museums\, where their scientific importance is often sidelined. \nThis talk\, centered on a discussion of the Smithsonian\, examines the historical context of the acquisition of these objects and their itineraries through American collections and exhibitions\, which have offered a variety of narrative techniques used to assign them meanings while on display. What emerges from this analysis is a history of nation-building in American museums that tells a very particular story about the nature of science\, and about who and what can be considered its legitimate stakeholders\, or claim it as a cultural inheritance. \n  \nMuseums at Noon_Respess
