About This Book

This book

  • questions how mothering and maternal experiences should be represented in museums. Louise-Clarke argues that such institutions wield the power to influence what we think about families, mothers and the labour of care.
  • Explores the ways that experiences of mothering can be represented in museums by using the term 'mothering' to encompass lived experiences of mothering or caring that are not exclusively tied to sex, gender, or the maternal body.
  • begins this exploration with Australia's Museums Victoria (MV), then expands to look at international cases. Offering a blueprint for what Louise-Clarke calls a 'museology of mothering', the book imagines what a museum that articulates maternal subjectivities might look and sound like.
  • initiates a dialogue between museum studies and maternal studies, making it essential reading for scholars and students working in both disciplines.
