Abstract

There are two realities which pose the greatest impediments to museum decolonization. These are: the very existence of the museum itself being a Western construct, and, the nature of the collections within. Since the last decades of the 20th century, museums with assemblages of anthropological materials have become highly contested spaces. There is a growing movement emanating from the descendants of the peoples from whom these materials originated for the decolonization of such museums. To this end, these museums are having to develop a way to address the dilemma in which they find themselves in order to map a route forward and effect a realignment with those for whom this means so much.
博物馆内的非殖民化
有两个现实对博物馆非殖民化构成了最大的障碍。它们是:博物馆本身是西方建筑的存在,以及馆内藏品的性质。自20世纪最后几十年以来,收藏人类学材料的博物馆已经成为高度竞争的空间。这些材料来源的民族的后代正在为使这些博物馆非殖民化而发起一场日益壮大的运动。为此,这些博物馆必须找到一种方法来解决他们发现自己的困境,以便绘制一条前进的路线,并与那些对他们来说意义重大的人重新调整。
