Dr Sarah Byrne

As a 香港六合彩中特网 Mellon Fellow, Sarah鈥檚 project engaged with the issues of translation and transposition by focusing on the concepts of practice as translation and place as transposition听in terms of how museums and source communities collaborate. Most ethnographic objects have been split up, pulled apart and given new identities according to the trajectories of Western museum practice. The project assessed how reassembling ethnographic collections in relation to the social practices and places of which they were once a part can set in motion more worthwhile collaboration and at the same time more explicitly draw attention to the phases of translation these objects underwent when moving from producers and users to traders, dealers, missionaries, auctioneers, curators, and museum administrators.听
