Summary/Abstract: Alexandra Urdea’s book describes the convoluted journey of an anthropologist and a host of rapidly changing objects (and contexts), between the storages and displays of the Horniman Museum and Romanian villages, museums, craft shops, and TV studios. It is not only a complex research and interpretation of objects of ethnography—always already re¬moved, even on their way back to origins—but also a disciplinary journey, a translation between two different ethnographies-an¬thropologies: imperial and national.
