• Resumen

  • Current debates on the often-convoluted provenance of Western collections, especially concerning practices of acquisition outside of Europe in the last 200 years, also concern the pasts and futures of natural historical collections and museums. Indeed, the past decade produced positive indications of how curators and historians of this collection-based knowledge have opened up paths to a more contextualized, historicized, and postcolonial understanding of just how these collections have been conceptualized, managed, and utilized from within a variety of political meanings.
