Tracing - Case 3: Human Remains

18:30 O'Clock
A discussion about mourning, remembrance and the handling of human remains in museums
What does it mean when mortal remains are kept far away from their original context? How can mourning take place if there is no place for it? And how does the view change when an object becomes a subject again?
SPEAKERS: Konrad Kuhn (European Ethnology, University of Innsbruck), Robin Menges (Clinical & Health Psychology) and Johanes Schrottenbaum (Funeral Director Schwaz) - the audience is cordially invited to join in the discussion.
