| Crynodeb: | Travel was one of the means by which objects were amassed and, if viewed from afar, in space and time, these artefacts may be considered as discursive repositories, other than textual, which compile narratives of journeys. Investigating the mechanics of mediation of these objects (as for text and image) may then be understood as research work in the field of Travel Studies. Artefacts in ethnographic collections have been the object of decolonizing attention and scholarship which challenge for example static, exhibitive on-site praxes. I will thus approach what I will consider as the connected triptych of Travel Studies, “cargo” and the decolonial turn within the framework of a case-study, using the online presentation of the Cook-Voyage Collection at the Pitt Rivers Museum (Oxford) (PRM) as an entry point. The focus will be on specifically digital showcasing, not of exhibitions but of catalogues of online collections /databases of ethnographic objects, which in the absence of decolonial enquiry and action, may well continue to generate elliptical, partial or fragmented experiences of virtual journeying. |
