商品簡介
European portrayals of Aboriginal people and their objects have long had political implications. This book explores ethnographic objects from Western Australia now in British and Irish museums, and is the first full scholarly treatment of their part in fashioning colonial relationships and identities over the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It scrutinises a body of material that once sparked extensive scholarly and popular interest, but has since been largely overlooked in scholarship on the relationship between collecting and empire.
This book assesses how non-Aboriginal collectors understood Aboriginal objects, and what this reveals about colonial relationships, anxieties and ambitions. Considering objects now spread across the British Isles, it examines intersecting impulses that informed collecting: notions of the frontier, the navigation of ones experiences across sites of empire, and the Eurocentric narrative of Aboriginal extinction, to show how colonial ideology intersected with personal experience. It scrutinises collectors own accounts as well as the voices of other individuals involved in collecting episodes, using these to show how ideas about indigenous peoples were being developed and contested.
Colonial Ambitions and Collecting Anxieties is particularly aimed at scholars ofmaterial culture, histories of collecting and empire, cultural heritage workers, and other readers interested in museums, colonialism and Australian history.
