history, politics, and ethics of ethnographic collections in museological contexts. The aim of the
lecture is to provide students with an understanding of both the historical formation of this sub-
discipline and the ethnographic museum itself. Students will learn about early practices of collection
and exhibition and how these changed through time. A focus lies on current museological debates,
including new museological approaches, decolonizing the museum through provenance research and
resistitution, and the uses of digital anthropology in the museum. The lecture also conveys what roles
anthropologists have assumed in institutions exhibiting ethnographic collections, the role of the
anthropologist as curator, and the building of relationships with indigenous communities. Practices of
archiving, cataloguing, and preserving objects will equally be discussed as part of this lecture.
