The Language of Museum Communication
Beschreibung
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Press releases and the wonderful world of art: two of the most fascinating interactional arenas united in a single volume. With an innovative historical perspective, to boot. Cecilia Lazzeretti's book is a great addition to the study of professional discourse." (Geert Jacobs, Professor, Ghent University, Belgium)
"Cecilia Lazzeretti's study highlights the complex cultural work involved in the discursive practices of museum communication. Taking a longitudinal approach, the research traces the evolution of the museum press release since the 1950s, identifying key discursive traits and the changes they have undergone over the period under the joint pressures of changing cultural attitudes and technological innovation. The methodological synergy between qualitative and quantitative methodologies enhances the robustness of the findings, paving the way for the investigation of current and emerging trends in museum communication." (Paola Catenaccio, Associate Professor, University of Milan, Italy)
