Synopsis

Rise of Museums explores the fascinating evolution of museums from private collections to influential cultural institutions, revealing how they reflect shifting social values and power dynamics. Early museums arose from Renaissance-era cabinets of curiosities and Enlightenment-era scientific societies. They were fueled by a desire to classify the natural world and showcase personal wealth, eventually laying the groundwork for the public museums we know today. 

 
The book analyzes the modern museum's development in the 19th and 20th centuries, shaped by nationalism, colonialism, and industrialization. Museums became tools for nation-building, vehicles for asserting cultural dominance, and spaces for public education. 

 
It addresses contemporary challenges such as repatriation and digital engagement, examining how museums adapt to changing demographics and grapple with colonial legacies. Structured around three core themes, Rise of Museums traces the trajectory of these cultural institutions while critically exploring the social, political, and economic forces that shaped them. Using a range of primary and secondary sources, including museum archives and exhibition reviews, this book provides a balanced account of the complex history, highlighting both achievements and shortcomings across its chapters.

Governing by chaos - Social...

Lucien Cerise

Given the growing success of this book, first published in 2009 and then updated in 2014, this third edition has been fully revised and updated by the author, incorporating the latest expressions of social chaos, instrumentalized by the powers that be for the past eight years.
How to become the masters of the world in the age of the Internet? The good-old method of the pyromaniac fireman still works. Renamed “shock strategy” or social engineering, it consists of plunging populations into crisis and anguish to better centralize order and power in the hands of an oligarchy usurping the identity of the savior. In the twentieth century, politics has moved from the art of persuasion to technical issues of hacking minds and optimizing group management. To that end, several disciplines and approaches are applied—cybernetics, marketing, management—to trap the masses into organized chaos, while they try to respond to the panic provoked by a transhumanist computer dictatorship based on biometrics, the all-digital, the vaccine pass, and eventually the suppression of cash and privacy.
