This project will contribute to creating a critical museum studies theory to explain white, middle-class tastes in the ethnographic objects collected in North America in the 19th Century. I will examine the value of an object to a 19th Century collector, not as intrinsic to the object, but as directly linked to the violence of a collecting encounter. I will investigate how the gender of a collector influenced what they collected, and the methods of violence they used to do so. Finally, I will use material culture theory and indigenous ontologies to ask if objects themselves, as actors, can consent or object to their own collection. The project understands itself to be an historical investigation, in conversation with writers grappling with questions of justice, violence, and decolonisation at stake more broadly in Western anthropological and ethnographic museums today.

这个项目将有助于创建一个关键的博物馆研究理论，以解释白色，中产阶级的口味在人种学对象收集在北美世纪。我将研究一件物品对一个世纪收藏家的价值，不是作为该物品的内在价值，而是直接与收藏遭遇的暴力有关。我将调查收集者的性别如何影响他们收集的东西，以及他们使用的暴力方法。最后，我将使用物质文化理论和土著本体论来询问对象本身，作为行为者，是否可以同意或反对自己的收藏。该项目理解自己是一个历史调查，在与作家的对话中，努力解决当今西方人类学和民族学博物馆中更广泛的正义，暴力和非殖民化问题。
