How can artefacts be exhibited without falling into problematic categories like "Europe" and "the Other"? Can we make sense of the distinction between art and ethnology or art and material culture? What stories can objects in museums tell today? How can we revise the established narratives and rethink the role of museums? What are the alternative narratives, traditions and concepts?
At the WeberWorldCafé "Museum, Power, and Identity" on June 11, 2015 in the Museen Dahlem, Berlin, we may discuss these and other questions at different tables with the following table hosts:
1. Identity, Language and Museum: Dr. des. Britta Hochkirchen (Universität Bielefeld), Dr. Nabila Oulebsir (École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales)
2. Cultural Heritage, Belonging and Ownership: Dr. Sophie Engelhardt (Ministerium für Kultur und Medien), Prof. Dr. Kavita Singh (Jawaharlal Nehru University)
3. Decolonizing Knowledge – Decolonizing Aesthetics: PD Dr. Paola Ivanov (Ethological Museum Berlin), Prof. Dr. Wendy Shaw (Freie Universität Berlin)
4. The Practice of Curating: Prof. Dr. Beatrice von Bismarck (Universität Leipzig), Menno Fitski (Rijksmuseum Amsterdam)
5. Object Biographies and Theory of Things: Dr. Verena Rodatus (Ethnological Museum Berlin), Prof. Dr. Avinoam Shalem (Columbia University)
6. Ritual and Performance: Dr. Mathias Alubafi (Human Sciences Research Council, Pretoria), Prof. Dr. Axel Michaels (Universität Heidelberg)
7. Artistic Intervention: Prof. Dr. Mathilde ter Heijne (Kunsthochschule Kassel), Prof. Dr. Dorothea von Hantelmann (Kunsthochschule Kassel)
8. The Archive and the Unconscious: Dr. Mirjam Brusius (Oxford University), Monika Pessler (Sigmund Freud Museum Wien)
The WeberWorldCafé is an interactive, biannual event format of the Max Weber Stiftung – Deutsche Geisteswissenschaftliche Institute im Ausland and the Forum Transregionale Studien (LINK?) that brings together researchers and practitioners from various disciplines and regions who meet and exchange their thoughts in a relaxed, coffeehouse-like atmosphere. We particularly invite students, young scholars and the interested public.
The WeberWorldCafé "Museum, Power and Identity" is organized within the framework of Art Histories and Aesthetic Practices, a research program at the Forum Transregionale Studien, and in cooperation with the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. The series WeberWorldCafés (WWC) is planned and organized by Gesche Schifferdecker (Max Weber Stiftung). The WWC on "Museum, Power, and Identity" is curated by Hannah Baader (Art Histories and Aesthetic Practices / Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence) and Stefanie Rentsch (Forum Transregionale Studien).

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
