Synthesized answer
Radical museology, as described, is a manifesto that views the "contemporary" as a method rather than a specific historical period [1]. It emphasizes the significance of presenting history in a politicized way within museums of contemporary art [1].
The provided passages define radical museology and its core tenets. They explain that it's a call for a particular approach to understanding and exhibiting contemporary art, focusing on how history is represented and the concept of "contemporary" itself [1]. The passages do not offer further explanation of these key concepts in my own words, nor do they elaborate on specific examples or methodologies within radical museology.
