Ding Region Welt Bemerkungen zum Sammeln fürs Regionalmuseum

In view of the fact that in economic, political, social, and cultural practice regionalism tends to establish itself more and more clearly as a complementary pole to globalization, this paper considers the issue of collection perspectives for regional museums. Since today there are hardly any artifacts with recognizable regional attributes left, with the exception of traditional costumes and the appurtenances of rites and customs, it seems fitting to collect objects that can be found all over the world as long as they stem from an everyday regional context and are annotated with descriptions of uses over the course of the object's lifetime. One motivation for registering objects derives strongly from people's curiosity in people, which positively connotes spatial regionalship despite, or precisely because of, recognized supraspatial dependencies on and membership in net-assisted communities.
