Description: Museums, Art and Inclusion in a Climate Emergency, Hardcover by Baker, Janice, ISBN 0367741822, ISBN-13 9780367741822, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Museums, Art and Inclusion in a Climate Emergency considers the impact of the Anthropocene on history and memory, approaches to objects and agency and the incommensurability of western and Indigenous ontologies. Drawing on Indigenous knowledge, humanities and museological literature, continental philosophy, contemporary art and popular culture, Baker acknowledges the autonomous agency of geological forms, including soils, minerals and fossil fuels. Demonstrating that this has implications for an expanded idea of an 'inclusive’ museum and its relationship to entities beyond 'life’ and living species, th argues that the 'inclusion’ paradigm needs to include nonlife actors. Gesturing to a geontological 'turn’ through developing notions of geo-inclusion, the mineralhuman and approaches to object agency that connect with Aboriginal 'heritage’, Baker exposes the ongoing destruction of Country by mining interests in Western Australia and elsewhere. By addressing the need for urgent change through the artifice of the museum, th identifies an expanded approach to inclusion beyond the limits imposed by the politics of identity. Museums, Art and Inclusion in a Climate Emergency theorises the potential of an expanded idea of the museum and will be of interest to scholars and students engaged in the study of museums and heritage, environmental humanities and geo-humanities, ecological art history and contemporary art.
