Unter dem Stuchwort sensible Dinge stehen seit einigen Jahren die NS-Raubkunst und Kulturguter im Fokus, die im Rahmen der Kolonialisierung nach Europa verbracht wurden. Es gibt noch viele Arten sensibler Dinge in Sammlungen: sterbliche Uberreste, religiose Artefakte oder unter den Artenschutz fallende Naturalia. Der Band wahlt eine dezidiert vergleichende Perspektive und geht der Frage nach einem angemessenen Umgang mit diesen Objekten disziplinen- und institutionenubergreifend nach. Durch den Erfahrungsaustausch von Wissenschaftlern und Wissenschaftlerinnen aus Museen und Universitaten nimmt er erstmals auch die besonderen Herausforderungen universitarer Sammlungen in den Blick.


Public collections often preserve things that are nowadays considered ‘sensitive’ for ethical reasons. For some years, the focus has been on Nazi looted art and is now increasingly being directed at cultural assets brought to Europe as part of colonisation. There are, however, many other types of sensitive things, such as mortal remains, religious artefacts, illegally traded antiques and wildlife products that fall under the protection of endangered species. This volume chooses to take on a decidedly comparative perspective in investigating how to appropriately deal with these objects across disciplines and institutions. For the first time, through the exchange of experience between scientists from museums and universities, it also systematically examines the topic for university collections, which, due to their heterogeneity, cover a particularly wide range of potentially sensitive objects.
