KARP, IVAN / LAVINE, STEVEN, ed. . Exhibiting cultures: the poetics and politics of museum display. Edited by Ivan Karp and Steven D. Lavine. Washington: Smithsonian Institution Press, 1991, later printing number line ending in 4, x, 468pp., . "Throwing open to debate the practices of museums, galleries, and festivals, Exhibiting Cultures probes the often politically charged relationships among aesthetics, contexts, and implicit assumptions that govern how cultural differences and art objects are displayed. This innovative volume brings together museum directors and curators, art historians, anthropologists, folklorists, and historians to examine how diverse settings have appealed to audiences and represented the intentions and cultures of the makers of objects. The essays address such major issues in the politics of culture as how the learned experience of everyday life is used to make exhibitions comprehensible, what happens to minority and exotic arts when they are assimilated into the hegemonic context of the "great" museums, and why ethnographic museums have been neglected in an age of museum expansion. Based on a landmark conference sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution and the Rockefeller Foundation, the book comprises twenty-seven essays by eminent scholars and museum professionals, including Svetlana Alpers, Michael Baxandall, James Boon, James Clifford, B.N. Goswamy, Stephen Greenblatt, Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett, Jane Livingston, Dawson Munjeri, Susan Vogel, Masao Yamaguchi, and Tomas Ybarra-Frausto." - CONTENTS: Introduction: Museums and Multiculturalism / Steven D.

hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. includes dust-jacket. DETAILS: very good dust-jacket, attractive copy, near fine brown half-cloth with orange boards, slightest shelf wear but appears little used if at all. DAVIS JR., WILLIAM E. Dean of the birdwatchers: a biography of Ludlow Griscom. Washington, D.C.: Smithsonian Institution Press, 1994, xvi, 234pp., . "Drawing on the writings of Griscom and his contemporaries, this biography reveals the complex man who popularized birdwatching as a more democratic, less aristocratic alternative to hunting and influenced a generation of notable future "birders," including Roger Tory Peterson, Joseph J. Hickey, and Allan Cruickshank. During the ten years he was a curator of birds for the American Museum of Natural History, Griscom set forth principles of field identification that revolutionized birding as a hobby and a sport. He also became an international authority on the birds of Central and South America, as well as the local authority on avian populations in the New York City and Boston areas."--BOOK JACKET. "Davis vividly portrays this odd, often abrasive, man whose brusque and assertive manner tended to polarize associates into pro- and anti-Griscom factions. He follows Griscom's involvement with such groups as the National Audubon Society, National Wildlife Federation, and Ducks Unlimited. Griscom eloquently fought for the establishment of federal preserves at Plum Island and Monomoy in Massachusetts. He also spoke against tendencies toward petty competition among different environmental groups.". 9781560983101 ISBN 1560983108 18.30. …
