Getting in Fashion: Ethnographic Museums and their Dress Collections
WHEN:
WHAT:
For the past 150 years of existence of ethnographic museums, fashion has been excluded from their ontology. Fashion was no part of ethnography, ‘the description of cultures’, which is a notion that evolved from theories and general views on culture developed in colonialism. This lecture tries to look at the relationship between colonial history and the foundation of ethnographic museums, including its theoretical notions on what is part of the Other, who is subject of such museums and what is not: the Other was considered to not have fashion. It will try to demonstrate how fashion actually can be used as a tool for decolonizing ethnographic and, indeed, other museums and broaden their relevance for society at large. Case study will be the National Museum of World Cultures in the Netherlands, that comprises the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam, the Museum of Ethnology in Leiden, the Africa Museum in Berg en Dal, and the associated World Museum in Rotterdam.
