Museums, Power, Knowledge - Tony Bennett - Bog

Museums, Power, Knowledge stands out as marking a series of strategic engagements with Foucault¿s work to offer a critical genealogy of the public museum. It looks to natural history, anthropological, art, geological, and history museums across the globe to offer a compelling account of the shifting political logics of museums over the modern period.The volume will be of interest to researchers, teachers and students working in the fields of museum and heritage studies, cultural history, cultural studies and sociology as well as to museum professionals and visitors.
