Maintaining that the acquisition of undocumented antiquities by museums encourages the looting of archaeological sites, countries such as Italy, Greece, Egypt, Turkey, and China have claimed ancient artifacts as state property, called for their return from museums around the world, and passed laws against their future export. But in Who Owns Antiquity?, one of the world's leading museum directors vigorously challenges this nationalistic position, arguing that it is damaging and often disingenuous. "Antiquities," James Cuno argues, "are the cultural property of all humankind," "evidence of the world's ancient past and not that of a particular modern nation. They comprise antiquity, and antiquity knows no borders." Cuno argues that nationalistic retention and reclamation policies impede common access to this common heritage and encourage a dubious and dangerous politicization of antiquities--and of culture itself. Antiquities need to be protected from looting but also from nationalistic identity politics. To do this, Cuno calls for measures to broaden rather than restrict international access to antiquities. He advocates restoration of the system under which source countries would share newly discovered artifacts in exchange for archaeological help, and he argues that museums should again be allowed reasonable ways to acquire undocumented antiquities. Cuno explains how partage broadened access to our ancient heritage and helped create national museums in Cairo, Baghdad, and Kabul. The first extended defense of the side of museums in the struggle over antiquities, Who Owns Antiquity? is sure to be as important as it is controversial. -- Publisher's description. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Antiquities|xCollection and preservation|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85005758|xPhilosophy. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005065 650 0 Cultural property.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh97000183 650 0 Cultural property|xRepatriation.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh97000184 650 0 Museums|xAcquisitions|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85088726|xPhilosophy.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005065 650 0 Museums|xCollection management|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh96008576|xInternational cooperation.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh00006352 650 7 Antiquities|xCollection and preservation.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/810747 650 7 Philosophy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1060777 650 7 Cultural property.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 885014 650 7 Cultural property|xRepatriation.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/885046 650 7 Museums|xAcquisitions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1030132 650 7 Museums|xCollection management.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1030143 650 7 International cooperation.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/976857 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aCuno, James B.|tWho owns antiquity? |dPrinceton, N.J. ; Woodstock : Princeton University Press, 2011, ©2008|z9780691148106|w(OCoLC)623971401 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=375305|zOnline eBook.
