Resumen

The international conference “Imperial Lives” revolved around new biographic approaches to research and storytelling – as a part of decolonial practice for ethnographic museums. This concise collection of papers provides a rough overview of a research field that is only now beginning to evolve: looking at imperial actors through a critical biographical lense, in order to contribute to and complement European decolonial “Aufarbeitung” is an essential part of memory work. The papers offer (self-)critical, dis-centering and creative perspectives on knowledge production and collecting and curating practices in museum contexts.
