It asks if and how a collections-based study can test the propositions, tactics, and limits of activism from archival, museological, and political perspectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollecting Activism, Archiving Occupy Wall Street draws from interdisciplinary fields, including museum studies, collection studies, archive studies, cultural studies, and public history. It will be a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners engaged with contemporary cause-based collecting, activist archiving, public history, and the cultural politics and sociology of social reform movements. It models strategies for ‘activating’ historical archives and collections-based data, and for engaging with autoethnographic records to represent and analyze the material residue of protest and reform movements today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45583492612334,"sku":"9781138240124","price":84.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781138240124.jpg?v=1721099576","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/collecting-activism-archiving-occupy-wall-street-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
