Lehrveranstaltungen
This course will approach museums as sites of organizational practices and struggles around the (re)presentation, negotiation and reflection of culture.
PART I
The following four distinct themes, which are fundamental to understanding museums as sites of culture and organization, will form the focus of each session:
A) Space and atmospheres
B) Curatorial practices and politics
C) Publics and audiences
D) Digitalization and communications
PART II
Parallel to the lectures, students will form research groups to conduct their own empirical investigations of museums as sites of culture and organization. Groups may focus on specific museums, cases, sites, initiatives, or exhibitions. Fieldwork may include on-site visits, interviews, participant observation, or other qualitative methods. The aim is to explore how the four themes manifest in the practices of museums.
The groups will present their findings at a concluding session, in the form of a mini-exhibition.
