These include the world's first museum of anthropology, founded in 1869 by Paolo Mantegazza (1831–1910) at Florence (Firenze), Italy, where that same year he also established Italy's (and the world's) first <i>cattedra</i> (university professorship) of anthropology. Mantegazza sought to develop a unified “science of man,” with a broad definition of the new discipline that brought together human physiological, ethnographic, and “comparative psychology” collections within his new anthropology museum, later complemented by a companion “psychological” museum. Even though Mantegazza's Florentine school of anthropology ended under Fascism, today the surviving Museum of Anthropology in Florence is still the repository of important ethnographic collections from early Italian traveler-explorers and other contributors. Their study was an important component of Mantegazza's science, which is receiving new attention by modern Italian anthropologists.</p>","PeriodicalId":43404,"journal":{"name":"Museum Anthropology","volume":"42 2","pages":"109-124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/muan.12209","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41726555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Drone Warriors: The Art of Surveillance and Resistance at Standing Rock. Exhibit at the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology. Providence, RI: Brown University. May 11, 2018–April 30, 2019.","authors":"J. D. Schnepf","doi":"10.1111/muan.12206","DOIUrl":"10.1111/muan.12206","url":null,"abstract":"Between April 2016 and February 2017, indelible images of police violence against protestors on tribal reservation and unceded lands in Standing Rock, North Dakota, circulated on the national news and social media. The American public bore witness to law enforcement using tear gas, rubber bullets, concussion grenades, and water cannons against protestors as winter temperatures in the region plunged below freezing. These images generated widespread public interest in Energy Transfer Partners’ proposed Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), a $3.8 billion, 1,172-mile-long pipe intended to carry 500,000 barrels of oil per day across the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Illinois. In North Dakota, the construction plans aimed to extend the pipeline upriver from Lake Oahe, the Standing Rock Sioux Nation’s only source of drinking water. The DAPL proposal thus sparked serious concerns about the contemporary state of Indigenous sovereignty, settler colonialism, and environmental racism. Drone Warriors: The Art of Surveillance and Resistance at Standing Rock takes up these concerns by revisiting the actions of the Water Protectors, the Native and non-Native protestors who opposed the proposed DAPL. This informative exhibit highlights how photographic drone operators Myron Dewey, Sean Turgent, Dean Dedman Jr., Brooke Johnson Waukau, and dozens of others turned to drone technology as an innovative response to the pipeline and its defenders. They produced videos and photographs of the pipeline construction and the militarized encampments housing Morton County police, National Guard, and DAPL security forces to document political and environmental transgressions. At the same time, they created powerful images of the landscape and the #NoDAPL Movement to tell their own narrative of the events. Entering the gallery space through the museum’s glass doors, museumgoers are met with tracking shots of theMni Sose, or theMissouri River, on a flat screen televisionmounted on the wall at eye level. To the left, a series of Dewey’s aerial photographs lines the walls, capturing the beauty of “Lakota ancestral lands, herds of bison grazing in the prairie, and the linkages of waterways,” according to a nearby panel. These opening images establish the landscape’s relationship to Indigenous culture as well as its natural beauty. As one moves through the exhibit, a visual story unfolds of this natural world under threat. For example, on other televisions mounted nearby, museumgoers seated on stools can take in aerial video of the buffalo “surrounded by twenty foot deep trenches and razor wire.” To be sure, the narrative of the endangered Lakota lands is a deeply moving one. At the same time, opening the exhibit with images of unpopulated land risks re-inscribing a colonial perspective that ignores the Indigenous communities who inhabit it, seeing it instead as empty and ripe for resource extraction. Perhaps in an effort to dampen this effect, a glass case nearby showcas","PeriodicalId":43404,"journal":{"name":"Museum Anthropology","volume":"42 2","pages":"150-152"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/muan.12206","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42463504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
