Product Description

This book explores ephemeral exhibition spaces between 1750 and 1918. The chapters focus on two related spaces: the domestic interior and its imagery and exhibitions and museums that display both national/imperial identity and the otherness that lurks beyond a country's borders. What is revealed is that the same tension operates in these private and public realms; namely that between identification and self-projection on the one hand and alienation otherness and objectification on the other. In uncovering this the authors show that the self the citizen/society and the other are realities that are constantly being asserted defined and objectified. This takes place they demonstrate in a ceaseless dynamic of projection versus alienation and intimacy versus distancing. show more
