Edited by Theopisti Stylianou-Lambert, Alexandra Bounia, and Antigone Heraclidou<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emerging technologies in museums have the potential to reveal unheard or silenced stories, challenge preconceptions, encourage emotional responses, introduce the unexpected, and overall provide alternative experiences. By examining varied theoretical approaches and case studies, authors demonstrate how \u201cawkward\u201d, contested, and rarely discussed subjects and stories are treated \u2013 or can be potentially treated – in a museum setting with the use of the latest technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few people in the history of the United States embody ideals of the American Dream more than Nathan Harrison. His is a story with prominent themes of overcoming staggering obstacles, forging something-from-nothing, and evincing gritty perseverance. In a lifetime of hard-won progress, Harrison survived the horrors of slavery in the Antebellum South, endured the mania of the California Gold Rush, and prospered in the rugged chaos of the Wild West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Landscapes of Postindustrial Europe beyond Representation<\/strong>
Edited by George S. Jaramillo and Juliane Tomann<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even as the global economy of the twenty-first century continues its dramatic and unpredictable transformations, the landscapes it leaves in its wake bear the indelible marks of their industrial past. Whether in the form of abandoned physical structures, displaced populations, or ecological impacts, they persist in memory and lived experience across the developed world. This collection explores the affective and \u201cmore-than-representational\u201d dimensions of post-industrial landscapes, including narratives, practices, social formations, and other phenomena. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
