DESCRIPTION:The concept of the "universal" museum developed in the late 18t
 h and early 19th centuries in the context of the founding of the British Mu
 seum\, the Napoleonic Wars\, European imperialism and colonialism\, and the
  mantra of the "rescue" narrative that sought to justify the removal of cul
 tural artifacts\, first from the Mediterranean region and later from sub-Sa
 haran Africa and elsewhere. This lecture will explore these origins across 
 the arc of the nineteenth century\, the inequities of the international leg
 al system then and its shortcomings now\, and the continuing discourse used
  to prop-up the retention of looted cultural objects by European and North 
 American museums and collectors. Evaluating the right to cultural heritage 
 through a human rights perspective\, this lecture will analyze the process 
 and elements of reparations and will propose a paradigm for the restitution
  of cultural objects that falls outside of neocolonial "legal/ethical" fram
 eworks.
