Brief description: CHRISTOPH ZELLER is Professor and Chair of the Department of German, Russian and East European Studies at Vanderbilt University.
Review Quotes: [T]he theoretical underpinnings, issues raised, and points made throughout the volume are useful beyond their immediate applications. They pose questions of access, data collection, ethics, and economics that will interest scholars of the history of collections, museum studies, digital humanities, library and information sciences, and related fields of literary theory and criticism and media studies.--J.
