Research

The ‘research’ section is dedicated to research and critical literature addressing the work and activities of AMM and its development over time. It includes documents, research projects, and papers, but is also open to interpretations and debates regarding migrant testimony, memory, and self-representation in Italy, as well as to the results of research and critical investigations into migratory processes and their representation in contemporary society.

Middle passages, musealizzazione e soggettività a Bristol e Lampedusa
Gianluca Gatta and Giusy Muzzopappa
in Estetica. studi e ricerche, No. 1, 2012.
Based on in-depth ethnographic research, this essay compares two rather different museum experiences: the heritagization of transatlantic slave trade in Bristol (UK) and the birth of a museum of migration in Lampedusa (Sicily). The question, open to debate, is whether the museum can contain simultaneously the hegemonic tale and its possible counter-narratives.
