DESCRIPTION:Dr. Clare Harris\, Reader in Visual Anthropology and Curator 
 for Asian Collections\, Pitt Rivers Museum\, Oxford\n\nFocusing on the Y
 ounghusband Mission of 1903-4\, this paper argues that the term ‘Tibetan
  Art’ was born during a military incursion into Tibet. The paper explore
 s the idea of locating Tibetan art in two senses: as a process of discov
 ery and acquisition in the mansions and temples that were abandoned as t
 he British troops blasted their way into Tibet\, and as a method of inse
 rting Tibet into the classificatory systems of British art appreciation 
 when\, in the aftermath of the Younghusband Mission\, the spoils of war 
 were accommodated and domesticated in private and public spaces of displ
 ay back in England.\n\nClare Harris is Reader in Visual Anthropology and
  Curator for Asian Collections at the Pitt Rivers Museum\, University of
  Oxford. Her research and publications focus on the material and visual 
 cultures of the Himalayas and Tibet\, museums\, displays and collections
  histories\, contemporary art\, photography and the politics of represen
 tation. Her most recent book is\,The Museum on the Roof of the World: Ar
 t\, Politics and the Representation of Tibet (2012).
