Vortrag „Who Knows? Who Should Know? Indigenous Knowledge and Provenance Research“

Das Deutsche Zentrum Kulturgutverluste lädt in Kooperation mit CARMAH zur Veranstaltungsreihe „Kolloquium Provenienzforschung“ ein. Am Montag, dem 24. August 2020, um 18.00 Uhr hält Paul Turnbull (Emeritus Professor of History and Digital Humanities, University of Tasmania) einen Vortrag zum Thema „Who Knows? Who Should Know? Indigenous Knowledge and Provenance Research“.
Abstract: In this presentation, the ethical, intellectual and practical implications and challenges of using digital technologies in provenance research are considered. Several recent cases in which Australian and other Indigenous peoples have sought the return of ancestral human remains, or culturally important artefacts from European museums, are reviewed. In doing so, attention is drawn to how Indigenous cultural norms regarding the transmission, circulation, access and uses of knowledge can further complicate the often already complex processes involved in repatriating the dead and significant cultural property.
Die Veranstaltung findet aufgrund der derzeitigen Corona-Pandemie als Videokonferenz statt. Aufgrund der begrenzten Kapazität ist die Teilnahme nur nach vorheriger Anmeldung bis zum 21.08.2020 möglich.
