Description
Exhibitions, as constructed cultural dispositions, media of showing, and processes of social interaction, hold great interest for cultural analysis. Being able to analyze exhibitions is a skill that allows us to critically examine exhibitions as public places regarding their effects and uses, and to change them as a result. The contributions to this volume present nineteen methods of exhibition analysis from the perspective of cultural analysis, perception studies and practice-oriented work. They locate these methods in the context of their respective discourses and present them in step-by-step guidelines for hands-on application, thus providing the first compilation on exhibition analysis for research, teaching and museum practice.
Reviews / Votes
»Particularly noteworthy is the compelling way in which the publication came about as a book-in-progress by testing the different analytical approaches with target audiences and dynamically developing them. An approach recommended for any method book, as it produces - like in this case - a really user-oriented manual.«More details
