Sentient Relics explores museums through cinema and challenges the dominant focus of museum theory as an inclusion-exclusion debate. This volume, while valuing the insights of ideologically situated meaning-making, turns to the capacity of the affective realm of experience to transform the passive subject and object relation. The author uses museum encounters and cinematic affect to engage with problems of difference, temporality, emotion and the sublime. In so doing the book advances research in museum studies by demonstrating what is at stake in pragmatically working toward a deeper understanding of the museum socially, culturally and philosophically.
