Repatriation and theSecond Life of Heritage:Return of the Masks inKodiak, Alaska

摘要

he forum and lecture on ‘Repatriation and the Second Life of Heritage: Return of the Masks in Kodiak, Alaska’ was an exciting opportunity to learn about the work of James Clifford, Distinguished Professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Clifford is a leading cultural critic and ‘post-modern’ anthropologist whose work has challenged conventional academic norms and methods, thus contributing to postcolonial critiques of Euro-centric epistemologies. His discussions of ethnography and ethnological museums have had great impact on the course of anthropology and museum studies since the 1980s.
