It focuses on Viking Age objects and examines how antagonistic debates on discussion forums, search engines, personalization, and machine learning impact online platforms in the United States. It also considers eco-systemic processes such as computation, rare-earth minerals, electrical currents, and data centers and cables as new forms of curatorial actions. The book explores curatorial agency as social constructivist, semiotic, algorithmic, and material, appealing to scholars and students in museum studies, cultural heritage, and media studies. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 138 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 29 March 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Springer Nature Switzerland AG\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis expansive open-access book delves into the diverse manifestations of curatorial agencies that emerge when museum collection digitization, narratives, and new research findings circulate online. With a specific focus on Viking Age artifacts, it traces the impact of antagonistic debates on discussion forums and the consequences of search engines, personalization, and machine learning on American-based online platforms. Moreover, it examines eco-systemic processes encompassing computation, rare-earth minerals, electrical currents, and data centers and cables as novel forms of curatorial actions. Thus, the book explores curatorial agency as a social constructivist, semiotic, algorithmic, and material phenomenon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book holds immense appeal to scholars and students engaged in the fields of museum studies, cultural heritage, and media studies. It also resonates with museum practitioners who are passionate about curatorial innovation at the intersection of humanist interpretations and new materialist and more-than-human frameworks. By unraveling the complex dynamics of curatorial practices in the digital age, this book offers valuable insights into the evolving nature of museums and the role of curators in shaping our understanding of the past and the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 341g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030806453\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bodil Axelsson,Fiona R.
