No próximo dia 12 de Maio, pelas 18h, irá ter lugar a conferência "Collecting the New", por Susan Pearce (Universidade de Leicester). A conferência será realizada no salão Nobre da Reitoria da U.Porto.Abstract:The kind of collecting often called 'extreme' is a subject now much on the minds of museum workers. Extreme collecting includes much old material collected outside Europe in a range of intellectual regimes, war material, and 'difficult' art. I wish to concentrate on the aspect of it which focuses on collections, like those of egg cups or football programmes which are of great importance to individuals, but have little or no 'value' in traditional terms.What questions does this ask? How should this be curated and displayed?Recorde-se:Susan Pearce studied history and archaeology at Oxford University and then worked on the curatorial staff at the National Museums on Merseyside and Exeter City Museum. She joined the Department in 1984 and was appointed Director in 1989, Professor of Museum Studies in 1992, Dean of the Arts Faculty in 1996 and Pro-vice chancellor in 2000. Susan was President of the Museums Association 1992-1994.Algumas das suas publicações:Pearce, S. 1990, Objects of Knowledge, Athlone, London.Pearce, S. 1992, Museums, Objects and Collections: a cultural study, Leicester University PressPearce, S.
