Drawing on exploratory research of online ethnographic records for particular types of Aboriginal bags in North America, we confront the absence of affective knowledge in museum catalogues and documentation. Although curatorial, ethnographic, and Aboriginal understandings of these items teem with affect, we find affect to be almost wholly lacking from available online records. We ask what the effects of this absence are for descendent Aboriginal communities, for museum publics, and for affect theory. We also look at an example where affect has a presence in online records, the Glenbow Museum, and consider the ways this creates opportunities for comparative and historic affective study.

情感在场：转喻目录

利用对北美特定类型土著包袋的在线民族志记录的探索性研究，我们面临博物馆目录和文件中情感知识的缺失。尽管策展人、人种学和土著对这些项目的理解充满了情感，但我们发现从可用的在线记录中几乎完全缺乏情感。我们询问这种缺席对后裔土著社区、博物馆公众和情感理论有何影响。我们还将查看在线记录中存在情感的示例，即格伦博博物馆，并考虑这为比较和历史情感研究创造机会的方式。
