Today, there is often talk of a "museum of the future":
as a contact zone, arena, forum and platform – perhaps even as an occupied space: the museum of the future would be radically
democratic.
With a view to redefining the museum, Nora Sternfeld updates approaches from museology, mediation and
the culture of remembrance. The texts in this volume pursue strategies that challenge the archive, appropriate museum space,
produce alternative knowledge and rethink education.
The museum becomes a meeting space that allows us to come
to terms with what has happened, to negotiate what this means for the present and how a future can be imagined that is more
than just an extension of the present.
