Telling, exhibiting and commemorating minority histories in the United States
Raconter, exposer et commémorer l’histoire des minorités aux États-Unis
U.S. museums and historic sites, and minority narratives
Les musées et sites historiques états-uniens et les récits minoritaires
Published on Tuesday, November 09, 2021
Abstract
Critical perspectives have contributed to the development of research on minority histories, which can be approached in two ways: on the one hand from the point of view of the domination that is exercised, on the other hand from the point of view of the experiences of members of the minority. Minority narratives mobilize collective memories and processes of patrimonialization and different mediations of history, notably in the school and medias. We propose to focus on one of their concrete forms, namely museums and heritage sites. Museums are indeed at the focus of political and historiographic issues in the way they articulate, or not, the narrative of minorities and the national narrative.The question of the mediation of history, here approached through the prism of museum institutions and heritage sites, as well as the articulation between past and present, will be our focus.
