'In Museum Object Lessons for the Digital Age, Haidy Geismar presents a slim, thoughtful volume that explores today's museums as settings that bridge traditional analogue and innovative digital experiences. It is accessibly written and relevant to those thinking critically about the shifting potentials of material culture and heritage in our contemporary world....These case studies are really about how the physical - analogue, experienced things and settings - can be used to think critically about the virtual. Via personal reflections drawn from a career in museum anthropology, Geismar 'explores the interface of digital and analogue media within museum practices and technologies' (p. xv).' Christina Hodge, Post-MEdieval Archaeology 'The subject of this small volume is of general importance for art museums and art history.' Sehepunkte
