In light of this problem, \u003ci\u003eDeconstituting Museums \u003c\/i\u003edevelops critical and creative interventions in implementing museum participation, envisioning how the affective component of participatory practice could enable new possibilities in both museum practice and political ontology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helen Graham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800089120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800089129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e UCL Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Helen Graham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48487433765119,"sku":"9781800089129","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2756cae3-5ab6-4f32-8bc9-8205e79dac4f.jpg?v=1778060455","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deconstituting-museums-helen-graham-9781800089129","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
