- The Inbetweenness of Things is a research output from the AHRC-funded project Reanimating Cultural Heritage (AH/G013691/1, 2009-2012), for which Basu was Principal Investigator. The edited volume resulted from a 2-day international symposium convened by Basu in collaboration with the British Museum, and hosted at the British Museum and University College London in 2013. The theme of the symposium and book relates closely to a research-based exhibition that Basu curated (with Julie Hudson) as part of the British Museum’s Room 3 exhibition series, challenging dominant epistemological and classificatory conventions. The 2013 exhibition, Sowei Mask: Spirit of Sierra Leone, formed part of Basu’s Impact Case Study for REF2014. Basu’s substantive introduction to The Inbetweenness of Things (pp.1-20) develops an original theoretical and analytical proposition drawing upon empirical case studies, including Basu’s own empirical research in West Africa and with West African collections in European museums. Adopting an object-based material culture approach, contributors to the volume responded to Basu’s theoretical/analytical proposition using a wide range of case studies from different disciplinary orientations. Basu made substantive editorial contributions to all chapters.
