商品描述

This edited volume critically engages with contemporary scholarship on museums and their engagement with the communities they purport to serve and represent. Foregrounding new curatorial strategies, it addresses a significant gap in the available literature, exploring some of the complex issues arising from recent approaches to collaboration between museums and their communities.

The book unpacks taken-for-granted notions such as scholarship, community, participation and collaboration, which can gloss over the complexity of identities and lead to tokenistic claims of inclusion by museums. Over sixteen chapters, well-respected authors from the US, Australia and Europe offer a timely critique to address what happens when museums put community-minded principles into practice, challenging readers to move beyond shallow notions of political correctness that ignore vital difference in this contested field.

Contributors address a wide range of key issues, asking pertinent questions such as how museums negotiate the complexities of integrating collaboration when the target community is a living, fluid, changeable mass of people with their own agendas and agency. When is engagement real as opposed to symbolic, who benefits from and who drives initiatives? What particular challenges and benefits do artist collaborations bring? Recognising the multiple perspectives of community participants is one thing, but how can museums incorporate this successfully into exhibition practice?

Students of museum and cultural studies, practitioners and everyone who cares about museums around the world will find this volume essential reading.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本編輯書籍批判性地探討當代有關博物館及其與所聲稱服務和代表的社區之間互動的學術研究。書中突顯了新的策展策略，填補了現有文獻中的一個重要空白，探討了博物館與其社區之間合作的最新方法所引發的一些複雜問題。

本書解構了如學術、社區、參與和合作等被視為理所當然的概念，這些概念可能會掩蓋身份的複雜性，並導致博物館的象徵性包容主張。在十六章中，來自美國、澳大利亞和歐洲的知名作者提供了及時的批評，探討當博物館將以社區為中心的原則付諸實踐時會發生什麼，挑戰讀者超越淺薄的政治正確觀念，這些觀念忽視了這一有爭議領域中的重要差異。

貢獻者們針對一系列關鍵問題進行探討，提出了相關問題，例如博物館如何在目標社區是一個活生生的、流動的、可變的群體，且擁有自己的議程和能動性時，協調合作的複雜性。什麼時候的參與是真實的，而不是象徵性的，誰從中受益，誰推動這些倡議？藝術家合作帶來了哪些特定的挑戰和好處？認識到社區參與者的多重觀點是一回事，但博物館如何能成功地將這些觀點融入展覽實踐中？

博物館和文化研究的學生、從業者以及所有關心全球博物館的人士都會發現這本書是必讀之作。
