Museums in an Age of Migrations

This volume collects a series of essays that offer a starting point for the MeLa Project, reflecting on the role of museums and heritage in relation to the contemporary global and multicultural world. International scholars and researchers interrogate themselves on issues of history, memory, identity and citizenship, and explore their effects on the organization, functioning, communication strategies, exhibition design and architecture of museums. With contributions by: Jamie Allen, Kirsti Andersen, Peter Aronsson, Luca Basso Peressut, Iain Chambers, Mela Dávila Freire, Gordon J. Fyfe, David Gauthier, Perla Innocenti, Francesca Lanz, Rhiannon Mason, Mark Nash, Massimo Negri, Giovanni Pinna, Gennaro Postiglione, Sreten Ugričić, Michel Van Praët, and Chris Whitehead.
