Description

The volume "The Postcolonial Museum" examines how we can conceive of a ‘postcolonial museum’ in the contemporary epoch of mass migrations, the internet and digital technologies. In particular, the essay by David Gauthier and Erin La Cour assert that ‘errors’ serve as ontological ground from which the subjectivity imposed upon us by the medium of the archive can be undermined, which can lend an innovative approach to practical applications in artistic and archival research and practice.
