Having and Belonging : Homes and Museums in Israel, Hardback Book

Having and Belonging : Homes and Museums in Israel Hardback

Part of the Material Mediations: People and Things in a World of Movement series

Description

The home and the museum are typically understood as divergent, even oppositional, social realms: whereas one evokes privacy and familial intimacy, the other is conceived of as a public institution oriented around various forms of civic identity.

This meticulous, insightful book draws striking connections between both spheres, which play similar roles by housing objects and generating social narratives.

Through fascinating explorations of the museums and domestic spaces of eight representative Israeli communities—Chabad, Moroccan, Iraqi, Ethiopian, Russian, Religious-Zionist, Christian Arab, and Muslim Arab—it gives a powerful account of museums’ role in state formation, proposing a new approach to collecting and categorizing particularly well-suited to societies in conflict.
