Civilisations

Civilisations est une revue d'anthropologie à comité de lecture. Diffusée sans discontinuité depuis 1951, elle publie, en français et en anglais, des articles relevant des différents champs de l’anthropologie, sans exclusive régionale ou temporelle. Relancée depuis 2002 avec un nouveau comité éditorial et un nouveau sous-titre (Revue internationale d’anthropologie et de sciences humaines), la revue encourage désormais particulièrement la publication d’articles où les approches de l’anthropologie s’articulent à celles d’autres sciences sociales, révélant ainsi les processus de construction des sociétés.

Civilisations was created in 1951 and taken over by the Institut de Sociologie de l’Université libre de Bruxelles from 1981. The journal is bilingual (French and English) and publishes articles relating to the field of anthropology around the world and throughout time. The journal was re-launched in 2002 with a new editorial committee, and today encourages the submission of articles where anthropological approaches are combined with other social sciences, hence revealing the processes through which societies are constructed.

71 | 2022 – Museums and religious heritage: Post-colonial and post-socialist perspectives

Couverture du n°71
ISBN 978-2-9602017-6-5
272p.

How do museums manage the heritage of confessional groups and the source communities whose cultures they present? What are the convergences and tensions in the relationship between museums and religions? How does lived religion enter secular museums, and what can we make of its presence there? The issue explores these questions through case studies from post-colonial and post-socialist contexts. In these diverse but in many ways comparable configurations, various museums increasingly take into account the voices of source communities and confessional groups. Originally secular institutions, museums have become more permeable to spiritual, cosmological, and confessional perspectives. We argue here that changes in practices of display and conservation are connected to major political and epistemic transformations, such as decolonisation and the return of religion to public life after the end of socialism.
