Im Zeichen postkolonialer Kritik sind Museen der Volks- und V�lkerkunde heute eine umstrittene Gattung. Museen werden aufgel�st, Sammlungen umorganisiert, neue Institutionen gegruendet. Dieses Buch nimmt die Entwicklungen in Frankreich, Deutschland, Belgien und USA von der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts bis zur Gegenwart in den Blick. Es bringt Kuratoren, Kunsthistoriker, Anthropologen, Soziologen und Historiker in einen inter- und multidisziplin�ren Austausch ueber neue Wege der Visualisierung des �Eigenen� wie �Fremden�. In light of postcolonial criticism, the museum of ethnology, anthropology and folklore has become a contested territory. Some museums are being dissolved, collections reorganized, and new institutions created. Focusing on France, Germany, Belgium and the United States in the period between the mid-nineteenth century and the present, this essay collection creates an interdisciplinary dialogue between curators, sociologists, anthropologists, historians and art historians. It sheds new light on the manner in which a modern museology negotiates the problematic heritage of the field and finds new ways to exhibit �self� and �other�. Inhalt Vorwort I.

On Line: Drawing Through the Twentieth Century explores the radical transformation of drawing that began during the last century as numerous artists critically re-examined the traditional concepts of the medium. In a revolutionary departure from the institutional definition of drawing and from reliance on paper as the fundamental support material, artists instead pushed the line into real space, expanding the medium's relationship to gesture and form and connecting it with painting, sculpture, photography, film and dance. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, On Line presents a discursive history of mark-making through nearly 250 works by 100 artists, including Aleksandr Rodchenko, Alexander Calder, Karel Malich, Eva Hesse, Anna Maria Maiolino, Richard Tuttle, Mona Hatoum and Monika Grzymala, among many others. Essays by the curators illuminate individual practices and examine broader themes, such as the exploration of the line by the avant-garde and the relationship between drawing and dance.
