英国博物馆幽灵：一部关于殖民掠夺和不安物体的故事[Audiobook]

What if the British Museum isn't a carefully ordered cross section of history but is in instead a palatial trophy cabinet of colonial loot - swarming with volatile and errant spirits? When artist and writer Noah Angell first heard murmurs of ghostly sightings at the British Museum he had to find out more. What started as a trickle soon became a deluge as staff old and new - from overnight security to respected curators - brought him testimonies of their supernatural encounters. It became clear that the source of the disturbances was related to the Museum's contents - unquiet objects, holy plunder, and restless human remains protesting their enforced stay within the colonial collection's cabinets and deep underground vaults. According to those who have worked there, the institution is heaving with profound spectral disorder. Ghosts of the British Museum fuses storytelling, folklore and history, digs deep into our imperial past and unmasks the world's oldest national museum as a site of ongoing conflict, where restless objects are held against their will. It now appears that the objects are fighting back.

如果英国博物馆不是一个精心排列的历史横截面，而是一个殖民掠夺的宫殿式奖杯柜——里面聚集着易怒和游荡的灵魂？艺术家兼作家诺亚·昂格尔第一次听到有关英国博物馆出现幽灵传闻时，他必须要弄清楚真相。最初只是零星的消息，很快演变成一波又一波的报告，无论是新旧员工——从夜班保安到受人尊敬的策展人都带来了他们超自然经历的故事。很明显，骚乱的源头与博物馆的内容有关——不安定的物品、圣物掠夺和人类遗骸抗议它们被迫留在殖民收藏品柜中和深埋地下的密室里。据在那工作的人说，该机构充斥着深刻的精神混乱。《英国博物馆中的幽灵》将叙事、民间传说和历史相结合，深入挖掘我们帝国的历史，并揭露世界上最古老的国家博物馆是一个充满持续冲突的场所，在那里不安分的对象被迫留在其中。现在看来，这些物件正在反击。
