This course is a comparative examination of ethnographic collections in Taiwan and North America. Academic institutions in both the Republic of China and North America house aging collections of indigenous objects, accumulated during periods of colonization and under the rubric of the emerging discipline of Anthropology and Ethnology. In hands-on and virtual examinations of museum collections, nearby and across the Pacific, students follow ethnographic artifacts from useful circulation to glass cabinets to indigenous cultural heritage sites. Students explore collecting and representation strategies of “ethnic” objects in relation to colonialism, decolonization, ethnic politics, and nationalism.
