Almost everyone today wants to rethink the museum, but how many have the audacity to question the idea of the universal museum itself?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eA Programme of Absolute Disorder\u003c\/em\u003e, Françoise Vergès puts the museum in its place. Exploring the Louvre's history, she uncovers the context in which the universal museum emerged: as a product of colonialism, and of Europe's self-appointed claim to be the guardian of global heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVergès outlines a radical horizon: to truly decolonise the museum is to implement a 'programme of absolute disorder', inventing other ways of apprehending the human and non-human world that nourish collective creativity and bring justice and dignity to the dispossessed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47340631130348,"sku":"9780745349619","price":47.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9853323482453.jpg?v=1772161879","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/a-programme-of-absolute-disorder-by-francoise-verges-9780745349619","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
