Bergonzini, Caterina. "Molecular taxonomy and specific diversity of Mediterranean museum collections of ancient sawfish's finds (Chondrichthyes, Pristidae)." Master's thesis, Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, 2019.
Find full textAbstract:
Human impact has led to degradation of different marine ecosystems, especially coastal, estuary and river environments, causing the decline of many marine fish populations. Among elasmobranchs one of the most threatened ones are sawfishes (Chondrichthyes, Pristidae), resulting extinct in many coastal areas around the world. In the Mediterranean Sea they occurred with two species, Pristis pristis and P. pectinata, until the second half of the last century. To better understand the baselines and the past distribution of sawfish populations, historical rostra available in the museum collections demonstrated to be value resource.
This study aimed to identify new short genetic markers and a new functional amplification protocol suitable for the specific identification of ancient sawfish’s finds.
A total of 78 rostra specimens, dated 1700-1900 and catalogued as unknown or Mediterranean origin, were collected from 10 European museums and were properly prepared for ancient DNA genetic analysis. Small fragments (118-266bp) of the mitochondrial COI and the NADH2 genes resulted to be useful for the taxonomic identification of 69 rostra at the species level. All the analyses computed in this study, NJ tree reconstruction, Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery, Characteristic Attribute analysis and P-distance computed between species, showed in full concordance the identification of four sawfish species: P. pristis, P. zijsron, P. pectinata and Anoxypristis cuspidata. A high frequency of mismatches was found between molecular identification and species museum cataloguing, especially between P. pectinata and P. zijsron (72%). Specimens were identified mostly as P. zijsron, even among Mediterranean samples and the presence of two sequence sub-clusters was highlighted in this poorly barcoded species.
In conclusion, this new knowledge requires further investigations on the structure of sawfish populations and on their evolutionary dynamics to identify a suitable conservation policy.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis has two aims equally significant: firstly to explore the potential of an instructional approach for developing museum-school partnerships that would empower the multiliteracies experiences of diverse students; second to reveal the fine details of the performances deriving from these experiences. The focus is on the experiences of 4 schoolteachers, 2 museum educators and 36 primary students aged 10-12 years old in the island of Cyprus. The conceptual backdrop draws from the field of New Literacy Studies, the proposed Museum Multiliteracies Practice (MMP) framework derived from the multiliteracies pedagogy of the New London Group, the Learning by Design Model adapted from Cope and Kalantzis and Schwartz’s museum based pedagogy. A design-based research (DBR) methodology was utilised to undertake the research using both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods and analysis. The research unfolded in three phases: the preliminary stage, the prototyping stage and the assessment stage. The thesis presents the design, enactment and evaluation of the Living Museum Partnership (LMP), a programme unfolded in 13 weeks for the construction of a student-generated virtual museum to support environmental education curriculum. The study contributes to an underexplored area of theory, research and practice towards fulfilling the vision of designing, implementing and evaluating museum-school partnerships for the 21st-century. Also, the research contributes to a growing field of study on theory-based museum learning practice that draws on inclusive pedagogies, in particular for culturally and linguistically diverse students. Finally, the research contributes to developing multimodal tools for empirical research. Findings from classroom observations as a participant observer and action researcher as the museum educator implementing the programme, semi-structured and focus group interviews, and questionnaires indicated that the LMP unfolded in an effective manner. Students’ repertoires of literacy were enhanced as they engaged in the learning process as active designers and multimodal learners.

Full textAbstract:
This essay researches institutional diversity in the unlikely combination of institution and feminist organization, Museum Anna Nordlander (MAN), a contemporary art museum with a gender and identity focus in Skellefteå, Sweden. Using mostly theories presented in Sara Ahmed’s work, On Being Included: Racism and Diversity in Institutional Life from 2012, this essay examines the museum’s preconditions for successful diversity work, how diversity is understood and made, and, finally, how diversity is expressed in its exhibitions. The essay finds that the museum’s biggest challenges to successful diversity work lie in the insufficient diversity displayed in its exhibitions and the homogenous internal representation, and that the key might lie in the selection process.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the practices of four museums in two countries in relation to the notion of social inclusion and how their museum professionals reflect about the topic. The aim is to provide an empirical grounding of Sandell’s theory about the three levels of impact within which museums can address social exclusion: with individuals, specific communities and wider society. The practices of four museums will be analysed and discussed: Västmanlands läns museum and Västerås Konstmuseum in Västerås, Sweden and Musei Civici and Fondazione Palazzo Magnani in Reggio Emilia, Italy. To answer the research questions, nine qualitative semi-structured interviews were performed. The informants selected are museum professionals responsible for different public practices at their institutions. The interviews were taped and at a later stage transcribed. Additionally, documentation from different sources completes the empirical data. A qualitative analysis has been employed to analyse the data. Text analysis and thematic analysis were selected to scrutinize the data. I employed the deductive method to trace Sandell’s theory on the data. The findings show that the notion of social inclusion is a subjective concept. Nonetheless, all the informants’ ideas of social inclusion are consistent with Sandell’s definition. The practices enhanced by the museums to address social inclusion are different in nature but mirror the understanding of the concept expressed by the museum professionals and it is in line with Sandell's model. Therefore, his theory about the three levels of impact that museums can achieve implementing inclusive practices is verified by the empirical data. Moreover, my hypothesis about the link between the social inclusion enact by museums and the socio-cultural context is proved too. This is a two years master's thesis in Museum and Cultural Heritage Studies.Denna uppsats undersöker på vilket sätt fyra museer i två länder arbetar med social inkludering samt hur deras medarbetare resonerar kring detta. Syftet var att se huruvida det går att empiriskt belägga Sandells teori, som handlar om att museer kan bekämpa social exkludering på tre nivåer: med fokus på individer, särskilda grupper eller samhället i stort. Den publika verksamheten i fyra museer har analyserats och diskuterats: Västmanlands läns museum samt Västerås Konstmuseum i Västerås, Sverige; Musei Civici samt Fondazione Palazzo Magnani i Reggio Emilia, Italien. För att besvara uppsatsens frågeställningar gjordes nio semi-strukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer med musei-arbetare. Informanterna arbetar i olika publika verksamheter inom dessa museer. Intervjuerna spelades in och transkriberades sedan. Utöver dessa har olika dokument från andra källor använts som komplettering. Analysen gjordes med hjälp av textanalys samt tematisk analys utifrån en deduktiv ansats, för att undersöka Sandells teori. Resultatet av denna studie visar att begreppet social inkludering har olika subjektiva innebörder. Icke desto mindre överensstämmer alla informanters idéer med Sandells definition av social inkludering. Museers publika aktiviteter kopplade till social inkludering är olika till sin natur men speglar museiarbetares förståelse av konceptet och är i linje med Sandells modell. Därför stödjer forskningsresultaten hans teori om att museer kan bekämpa social exkludering på tre nivåer. Dessutom styrks även uppsatsens hypotes om sambandet mellan museernas sociala inkludering och det sociokulturella sammanhanget. Detta är en masteruppsats i musei- och kulturarvsvetenskap.

Full textAbstract:
Combien de musées existe-t-il dans le monde ? S’appuyant sur une approche chiffrée du monde muséal, cette question soulève de nombreuses problématiques sur ce que les musées représentent, sur la manière dont ils se développent, ainsi que sur les savoirs et les compréhensions que nous en avons. Les musées ne bénéficient cependant pas d’une approche quantitative satisfaisante et aucune recherche à ce jour n’aborde les enjeux de la construction et de la signification de ces chiffres pour une représentation du phénomène muséal. Ce travail se développe comme l’ouverture successive de plusieurs boites noires, explorant tour à tour les enjeux de la définition du musée, des méthodes de recensement et d’observation, et des moyens d’expression de sa diversité. Il s’appuie notamment sur un travail de terrain consacré aux stratégies du recensement autour des musées en France, interrogeant la possibilité de paysages et de périmètres muséaux différenciés et soulevant une tension constitutive entre reconnaissance et invisibilisation. Cette réflexion est rapportée aux enjeux de la statistique européenne dans la formation d’une Europe des musées, à partir de l’analyse de ses acteurs et de leurs productions. Enfin, les débats menés par l’ICOM autour de la définition proposée en 2019 à la Conférence de Kyoto mettent en exergue la fabrique d’un consensus international, confronté aux visions particulières des musées dans le monde. Je souhaite ainsi mettre au jour la dynamique des structures des systèmes d’information dédiés au musée, objectiver des visions différentes du musée à travers le monde, et initier de nouvelles méthodes pouvant contribuer au développement de la muséologieHow many museums are there in the world? Based on a numerical approach to the museum world, this question raises a number of issues about what museums represent, how they develop, and the knowledge and understanding we have of them. However, museums do not benefit from a satisfactory quantitative approach, and no research to date has addressed the issues involved in the construction and significance of these figures for a representation of the museum phenomenon.This work develops as the successive opening of several black boxes, exploring in turn the issues of the definition of the museum, the methods of census and observation, and the means of expressing its diversity. It is based in particular on fieldwork devoted to census strategies around museums in France, questioning the possibility of differentiated museum landscapes and perimeters and raising a constitutive tension between recognition and invisibilisation. This reflection is related to the challenges of European statistics in the formation of a Europe of museums, based on the analysis of its actors and their productions. Finally, the debates led by ICOM around the definition proposed in 2019 at the Kyoto Conference highlight the creation of an international consensus, confronted with specific visions of museums around the world. In this way, I hope to bring to light the dynamics of the structures of information systems dedicated to the museum, to objectify the different visions of the museum throughout the world, and to initiate new methods that can contribute to the development of museology

Full textAbstract:
Notre travail concerne les systèmes d’aide à la visite de musée et l’accès au patrimoine culturel. L’objectif est de concevoir des systèmes de recommandation, implémentés sur dispositifs mobiles, pour améliorer l’expérience du visiteur, en lui recommandant les items les plus pertinents et en l’aidant à personnaliser son parcours. Nous considérons essentiellement deux terrains d’application : la visite de musées et le tourisme. Nous proposons une approche de recommandation hybride et sensible au contexte qui utilise trois méthodes différentes : démographique, sémantique et collaborative. Chaque méthode est adaptée à une étape spécifique de la visite de musée. L’approche démographique est tout d’abord utilisée afin de résoudre le problème du démarrage à froid. L’approche sémantique est ensuite activée pour recommander à l’utilisateur des œuvres sémantiquement proches de celles qu’il a appréciées. Enfin l’approche collaborative est utilisée pour recommander à l’utilisateur des œuvres que les utilisateurs qui lui sont similaires ont aimées. La prise en compte du contexte de l’utilisateur se fait à l’aide d’un post-filtrage contextuel, qui permet la génération d’un parcours personnalisé dépendant des œuvres qui ont été recommandées et qui prend en compte des informations contextuelles de l’utilisateur à savoir : l’environnement physique, la localisation ainsi que le temps de visite. Dans le domaine du tourisme, les points d’intérêt à recommander peuvent être de différents types (monument, parc, musée, etc.). La nature hétérogène de ces points d’intérêt nous a poussé à proposer un système de recommandation composite. Chaque recommandation est une liste de points d’intérêt, organisés sous forme de packages, pouvant constituer un parcours de l’utilisateur. L’objectif est alors de recommander les Top-k packages parmi ceux qui satisfont les contraintes de l’utilisateur (temps et coût de visite par exemple). Nous définissons une fonction de score qui évalue la qualité d’un package suivant trois critères : l’appréciation estimée de l’utilisateur, la popularité des points d’intérêt ainsi que la diversité du package et nous proposons un algorithme inspiré de la recherche composite pour construire la liste des packages recommandés. L’évaluation expérimentale du système que nous avons proposé, en utilisant un data-set réel extrait de Tripadvisor démontre sa qualité et sa capacité à améliorer à la fois la précision et la diversité des recommandationsOur work concerns systems that help users during museum visits and access to cultural heritage. Our goal is to design recommender systems, implemented in mobile devices to improve the experience of the visitor, by recommending him the most relevant items and helping him to personalize the tour he makes. We consider two mainly domains of application : museum visits and tourism. We propose a context-aware hybrid recommender system which uses three different methods : demographic, semantic and collaborative. Every method is adapted to a specific step of the museum tour. First, the demographic approach is used to solve the problem of the cold start. The semantic approach is then activated to recommend to the user artworks that are semantically related to those that the user appreciated. Finally, the collaborative approach is used to recommend to the user artworks that users with similar preferences have appreciated. We used a contextual post filtering to generate personalized museum routes depending on artworks which were recommended and contextual information of the user namely : the physical environment, the location as well as the duration of the visit. In the tourism field, the items to be recommended can be of various types (monuments, parks, museums, etc.). Because of the heterogeneous nature of these points of interest, we proposed a composite recommender system. Every recommendation is a list of points of interest that are organized in a package, where each package may constitute a tour for the user. The objective is to recommend the Top-k packages among those who satisfy the constraints of the user (time, cost, etc.). We define a scoring function which estimates the quality of a package according to three criteria : the estimated appreciation of the user, the popularity of points of interest as well as the diversity of packages. We propose an algorithm inspired by composite retrieval to build the list of recommended packages. The experimental evaluation of the system we proposed using a real world data set crawled from Tripadvisor demonstrates its quality and its ability to improve both the relevance and the diversity of recommendations

Full textAbstract:
This essay studies the Swedish museum debate during 2016–2017, regarding the display of history. The sources analysed here that represent the debate are the Swedish Govenment’s Proposition on Cultural Heritage Politics (Regeringens proposition 2016/17:116), the Museum Investigation (Ny Museipolitik 2015) and articles from Swedish daily newspapers. The essay uses Laurajane Smith’s work (Uses of Heritage 2006) on Authorized and Subaltern Heritage Discourses, as well as methods for argument analysis and construction of the Heritage node. The essay concludes that the Government’s Proposition is more closely tied to a Subaltern Heritage Discourse, while the Investigation lies somewhere in between both discourses, and the newspaper articles adhere to an Authorized Heritage Discourse. The Proposition construct the Heritage node in an open, multiculturalistic way that also focus on relevancy for today’s society and stresses the importance of the experience of the visit. The Investigation focus on the special role of the museum professionals, and also believes in a balance between traditional knowledge-based exhibitions and experience-based ones. The authors of the articles see the heritage as under threat from Government Politics, where knowledge and tradition is being replaced by norm criticism and multiculturalism.

Full textAbstract:
En politique rien ne semble possible sans références culturelles, sans la mobilisation d’un imaginaire collectif. Avec la déclaration de nombreux Etats de leur caractère multiculturel au cours de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, qui reconnurent l’existence de différences culturelles au sein de la Nation, conjointement à une vague de patrimonialisation de nouveaux référents communs « multiculturels », les musées intégrèrent progressivement ce discours au sein de leurs expositions et de leurs collections. Ce sera tout particulièrement le cas des musées ethnologiques des « Autres », créés en lien avec l’affirmation de la Modernité et donnant lieu à la consolidation de l’Anthropologie, la science de « l’Autre ».
Alors que ce multiculturalisme fait partie d'un nouveau paradigme, inauguré au cours des années 1970, basé sur une perception culturalisante de la structuration des sociétés, ces musées, créés pour la plupart entre le dernier quart du XIXe siècle et le premier quart du XXe siècle, intégrèrent en effet plus que n’importe quels autres cette réflexion au sein de laquelle ils étaient censés jouer un rôle important au travers de la mise en place de nouvelles pratiques. Ainsi, alors qu’ils étaient plongés dans une profonde crise depuis les années 1960-1970, cette intégration du multiculturalisme engendra la rénovation de la plupart d’entre eux en Europe, entre les années
2000 et 2010, donnant lieu à d’immenses projets muséaux vantant la modernité des villes et pays les accueillant, ouverts sur le monde et ses différences culturelles.
A partir d’une conception anthropologique de l’institution muséale en tant que lieu de diffusion de valeurs, symboliquement et culturellement construit et ayant des effets sociaux sur la conceptualisation du monde, cette thèse traite de l’intégration de ce multiculturalisme dans les musées ethnologiques et leur rénovation, fondamentalement européens, en se concentrant sur ses effets muséologiques et sur l’évolution des politiques de collections. Pour ce faire, elle se base sur une méthodologie classique issue des sciences humaines et sociales caractérisée par une double phase.
La première est constituée d'une profonde recherche bibliographique, qui mit en place un quadruple cadre théorique comprenant l’analyse anthropologique de la représentation offerte par les musées (Stocking, Clifford, Bouquet, Ames, Jones, Kirshenblatt-Gimblett), l’analyse des liens existant entre les musées et les communautés (Simpson, Lavine et Karp, Dubuc et Turgeon, Peers), le rôle du musée dans la promotion du multiculturalisme (Clifford, Bennett, Watson) et, finalement, le rôle et le statut des collections (Hainard, Davallon).
La deuxième phase de la méthodologie est composée d'une double phase de recherche de terrain empirique basée sur l’observation et sur une série d’entretiens, premièrement au cours de courtes visites d’exploration au sein d’un grand nombre de musées européens et, deuxièmement, lors d’un travail de terrain en profondeur mené dans trois institutions (le Musée des Tropiques d’Amsterdam, le Musée royal de l’Afrique centrale de Tervuren et le Musée des cultures du monde de Göteborg). Ces institutions, comprises comme microcosmes du panorama muséologique et muséographique mondial, sont en effet intégrées dans des territoires nationaux aux caractéristiques claires et différenciées, notamment en termes de réflexion multiculturelle, constituant de la sorte des terrains d'étude riches pour leur comparaison.
Ainsi, cette double phase de recherche donna lieu à une série de considérations qui permettent de dresser un état des lieux du panorama ethnomuséologique actuel, déterminé par une nouvelle approche de la diversité culturelle mais également par une certaine hétérogénéité à l'heure d'intégrer cette réflexion. Cette thèse permet ainsi de déterminer les logiques de cette intégration, ses influences et ses modèles théoriques et muséaux, afin d’évaluer dans quelle mesure cette dernière s'assimile à la tradition historique de l’institution. Finalement, à partir de cette exploration, cette thèse permettra d’apporter une somme de considérations quant aux conséquences et aux limites de cette intégration du multiculturalisme, non seulement muséales mais également sociales en tant que paradigme d'analyse des sociétés et de modèle de gestion des différences qui leur sont inhérentes.In politics nothing seems possible without the mobilisation of a collective imagination. With the declaration of many countries of their multicultural character during the second half of the twentieth century, along with a wave of patrimonialization of new common multicultural referents, museums gradually integrated this discourse in their exhibitions and collections. This will especially be the case of the Ethnological Museums, created in the context of Modernity and resulting in the consolidation of Anthropology, the science of "the others". These museums integrated more than any other institutions that reflection in which they were supposed to play an important role through the implementation of new practices. As such, while they were plunged into a deep crisis in the years 1960-1970, this integration of multiculturalism in Europe begat the renovation of most of them between 2000 and 2010, through huge museum projects that aimed at boasting the modernity of cities and countries in which they were created, seen as open to the world and its cultural differences. From an anthropological conception of the museum as symbolically and culturally constructed having social effects on the conceptualization of the world, this thesis discusses the integration of multiculturalism in European ethnological museums focusing on its museological effects and on the development of their collections policies. This thesis is therefore based on a methodological approach composed of a double phase. The first consists of a deep bibliographic research, which established a quadruple theoretical framework while the second phase consists of a double empirical field research phase based on observation and a series of interviews, firstly in a large number of European museums and, secondly, an in- depth research in three national museums with clear and differentiated characteristics in terms of multicultural reflection.

Este estudo estabelece uma análise comparativa entre três museus com colecções etnográficas: dois museus no contexto internacional: o Museum of World Culture, em Gotemburgo, e o World Museum Liverpool, e, em Portugal, o Museu Nacional de Etnologia. Na era da globalização, o multiculturalismo e a preservação da diversidade cultural representam novos desafios para os museus, em particular para os etnográficos. Não se trata só de conhecer o “Outro”, que está no centro dos museus tradicionais, mas de uma nova perspectiva sobre a diversidade, que se desenvolve também nas nossas sociedades, com as comunidades de imigrantes, que implica que o “Outro” ou “Outros” passaram a fazer parte de “nós”. Diante da emergência de novos paradigmas, este estudo procura reflectir sobre os desafios contemporâneos de uma museologia mais representativa, inclusiva e participativa. Com base na investigação realizada, concluiu-se que, pese embora as diferenças de percurso e de contexto institucional e as diferentes circunstâncias nas quais se enquadram, os três museus reconhecem a alteração do seu papel em função das mudanças sociodemográficas das sociedades em que estão inseridos, todavia, as respostas são variáveis quanto à sua operacionalização nas práticas museológicas; ABSTRACT: This study establishes a comparative analysis between three museums with ethnographic collections: two of these museums are in the international museum scene (Museum of World Culture, in Gothenburg, and the World Museum Liverpool) and one museum in Lisbon, the National Museum of Ethnology. With globalization, multiculturalism and the preservation of cultural diversity represents new challenges for museums, especially ethnographic museums. It’s not just about knowing the “other”, which is at the center of traditional museums, it’s about a new perspective about diversity, which is being developed in our societies with the immigrant communities, meaning that the “other” is now part of “us”. Taking in consideration the emerging of new paradigms, this study reflects on the contemporary challenges of a more representative, inclusive and participatory museology. This research revealed that in spite of the differences between the case studies, the three museums recognized that their role is challenged by sociodemographic changes within the societies they operate, however different perspectives are developed.

Previous issue date: 2013-11-25The present study aimed, from the theoretical reflections on education and museum education, investigate the performance of the educational Afro Brazil Museum along to school groups scheduled for guided tours. With the purpose of acting for the recognition of African and Afro-descendant population as social subjects in Brazilian culture, taking them the stigma of slavery and valuing their ways of being and doing, the Afro Brazil Museum would be assuming the role of combating ethnic racial discrimination, seeking its visitors aware of the importance of African influence in the construction of Brazilian nationality. Therefore it was defined the research problem: the educational action of the Afro Brazil Museum fight ethnic racial discrimination through heritage education? Adopting the procedure ethnographic and empirical observation of guided visits, it was found not to confirm the initial hypothesis, which held that the Afro Brazil Museum hold a heritage education in the sense of celebrate the history of blacks in Brazil and Africa through the narrative perspective inaugurated by von Martius on the participation of the three races (white, black and indigenous) in the construction of Brazil. Among the results obtained from the research we observed characteristics of educational action that can be considered as a factor in teaching and learning, but not heritage education. On the other hand, there is concern in teaching students to read the exhibits and to recognize the African influence in Brazilian culture. It was also the discontinuity of visits, which involves not only the museum, but mostly the school in the preparation and finalization of the visit, this activity could modify the quality of education held at the museum.

omando como referência fundamental o trabalho desenvolvido pela UNESCO em matéria de proteção do Património Cultural Imaterial (PCI), muito particularmente a Convenção para a Salvaguarda do Património Cultural Imaterial (2003), considerou-se oportuno refletir sobre as implicações que este enfoque traz para os museus. São indiscutíveis as repercussões que este instrumento trouxe para o reconhecimento da importância do PCI à escala internacional, motivando um crescendo de iniciativas em tomo da sua salvaguarda. São vários os agentes envolvidos na preservação deste património, no entanto o International Council of Museums (ICOM) reconhece um papel central aos museus nesta matéria. Mas para responder a este repto, os museus terão que repensar as suas estratégias de forma a relacionar-se mais com o PCI, contrariando uma longa tradição profundamente enraizada na cultura material. O presente estudo reflete sobre as possibilidades de actuação dos museus no sentido de dar resposta aos desafios da Convenção 2003, sendo certo que a partir das catividades dos museus é possível encontrar formas de estudar e de dar visibilidade a este património. Em função das especificidades de cada museu, podem ser encontradas estratégias de salvaguarda do PCI, entre as quais se pode incluir o inventário e a documentação (audiovisual, texto, áudio, imagem), a investigação, a divulgação através de exposições e publicações, difusão através da internet, educação não formal, entre outras actividades. Alguns museus começaram já a desenvolver abordagens integradas para a salvaguarda do PCI, cujos exemplos se apresentam. Este tema suscita vários desafios, implicando práticas museológicas inovadoras que possam reflectir o papel dos museus como promotores da diversidade e criatividade cultural. ABSTRACT: Recalling the UNESCO's work towards the protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), in particular the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage adopted in 2003, I took this opportunity to reflect upon the implications that this recognition brings to museums. The overwhelming success of this document has raised the importance of ICH at international level, motivating a growing number of initiatives towards its safeguard. Accordingly, to the 2003 Convention, there are many agents involved in the preservation of this heritage, yet the International Council of Museums (ICOM) recognizes a central role for museums. Nevertheless, to face this challenge, museums will have to rethink their relationship with ICH in opposition to their deep rooted tradition in material culture. The present study reflects upon the possibilities that museums have to answer the changeling 2003 Convention, recognizing that it’s possible through museum activities to find ways to study and give visibility to ICH. According to each museum specificities, it seems clear that strategies can be engaged in order to promote the safeguard of ICH, including inventory and documentation (audiovisual, audio, text and image), research, promotion through exhibitions, publications, dissemination trough internet and other means, informal education, among other activities. Many museums have already started exploring integrated approaches towards the safeguard of ICH and some of these examples are presented in this study. This theme is challenging, implying innovative museum practices which reflect on museums role towards the promotion of cultural diversity and creativity.

Full textAbstract:
The aim with this study is to shed light on the relationship between ideals and practises at the National Museum of Finland (the NMF) and at the Swedish History Museum (the SHM). The focus is on the museums’ role in society regarding integration and cultural diversity. In order to fulfil this aim, I have studied the two museums’ pedagogical programmes for immigrants learning Finnish or Swedish. Through an ethnographic field study (including interviews and observations) and text analysis, I have studied ideals and practices connected to these programmes. My hypothesis is that intercultural dialogue opens up for museums to combine aims concerning cultural diversity with aims of supporting integration. My study shows that there is a problematic relationship between cultural diversity and integration within the ideals and practices at the two museums. At the SHM, the staff’s aims of supporting integration as a mutual process are contradictory to that they are toning down the importance of mutual learning to the programme. At the NMF, the approach to communication within ideals and practices and the shortage of dialogue within the programme makes it difficult to fulfil the aim of representing a diverse society. At both museums, intercultural dialogue is seen as something very positive when it occurs at the learning sessions. It is, however, rather seen as a bonus than as an aim within today’s versions of the pedagogical programmes. This master thesis is written within a two years master programme in Archive, Library and Museum Studies.Syftet med denna uppsats är att belysa relationen mellan ideal och praktik på Nationalmuseum i Finland och på Historiska museet i Sverige. Fokus ligger på museernas roll i samhället gällande integration och kulturell mångfald. För att uppfylla detta syfte har jag studerat dessa två museers pedagogiska program för invandrare som lär sig finska eller svenska. Genom att genomföra en etnografisk fältstudie med intervjuer och observationer samt textanalys har jag undersökt ideal och praktik kopplade till dessa program. Min tes är att interkulturell dialog öppnar upp för museer att kombinera mål kopplade till kulturell mångfald med mål att stödja integration. Min studie visar på en problematisk relation mellan kulturell mångfald och integration inom ideal och praktik på de två museerna. På Historiska museet motsägs personalens syfte att stödja integration som en ömsesidig process av att de tonar ned betydelsen av ömsesidigt lärande för det pedagogiska programmet. På Nationalmuseum gör synen på kommunikation inom ideal och praktik samt bristen på dialog inom programmet att det blir svårt att uppfylla syftet att representera ett mångkulturellt samhälle. På båda museerna ses interkulturell dialog som något mycket positivt när det sker inom de pedagogiska programmen. I dagens versioner av de pedagogiska programmen ses det dock snarare som en bonus än som ett syfte i sig.

Lahmar, Fella. "Dealing with diversity in Muslim schools in Britain." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2012. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/13568/.
Full textAbstract:
This research was designed to explore the ways that Muslim schools are dealing with the tensions arising from the diversity presented to them within their own religious group and how this then shapes individual schools as they operate within a post 9/11 and 7/7 social context. The work was carried out in six case study schools located within four different geographical contexts in England. Giddens’ notion of “double hermeneutics” informed the theoretical and conceptual frameworks driving the research in its aim to analyse the relationships between structure and agency operating within these schools and to understand them as social phenomena. To a lesser extent, these frameworks were also influenced by Gadamer’s interpretation of the “practical wisdom” concept which is used as a conceptual tool for data analysis. In setting out to provide a nuanced picture of these schools and explore their trajectories, four traditional theoretical typologies of Islamic education underpinned the analysis. These typologies were identified as important in understanding the dilemmas presented to Muslim schools in constructing themselves as “academically successful institutions” without compromising on their “Islamic ethos”. More so, as these schools deal with the tensions arising from maintaining an Islamic ethos while competing in an era where consumerist parental attitudes and academic achievement in the league tables are important to their future. The critical question that these schools’ leaders are facing is: How can the right balance be struck between “Islamic ethos” and the market dynamics of quality schooling? In resolving this dilemma, the concept of “what constitutes being a good/practising Muslim” was found to be key to how the case study schools managed this balance. This thesis argues that Muslim schools in Britain are being diversified by a continuously changing process that is shaped by internal factors as they try to balance the everyday dilemmas presented to them with the external factors that impact on them as they compete and operate within a wider educational context. As they grow in experience and confidence in their educational achievements Muslim schools are less influenced by “imported” factors. This then frees them to work on “tailoring” the education they offer more specifically to their own needs and challenges while taking into account and balancing this with their wider British influences. This has implications for those social debates such as multiculturalism, inclusion and exclusion and community cohesion that are now necessarily being influenced by a late modern social context.

Kadiwal, Laila. "Religious pluralism in Ismaili Muslim religious education : from difference to diversity." Thesis, University of Sussex, 2015. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/55033/.
Full textAbstract:
Three questions command even greater attention today, as over forty countries, including many Muslim-majority states, unite against Daesh (the so-called ‘Islamic State'): How do Muslims relate to the Muslim ‘other'? How do Muslims relate to the religious ‘other'? What role can Muslim religious education play in fostering peace? Islam and Muslim education are suspected of promoting intolerance. This thesis investigates a group of Shia Ismaili Muslim trainee-teachers' attitudes to plurality in their religious education programme. The Secondary Teacher Education Programme (STEP) is a two-year postgraduate course of the Ismaili Muslim community to train religious education teachers. STEP, a novel development in Muslim education, experiments with an innovative pedagogical approach to plurality. The research spanning over three years involved in-depth interviews, focus group, observations and textual analysis. 21 trainee-teachers from 13 different countries participated in the study. Alan Race's (1983) typology ‘inclusivismexclusivism- pluralism' serves as a key theoretical lens through which to examine attitudes to religious others. The thesis argues that a ‘rooted religious pluralisation' is taking place in the Ismaili community facilitating the emergence of the ‘tradition' of pluralism in the community. The study shows that initially, the participants were inclusive of other religious communities and worldviews on ‘theological', ‘humanistic' and ‘instrumental' grounds, but were selective about how they embraced it. Many of them believed that their religious perspective exceptionally equipped them over their religious ‘other'. Gradually, STEP's ‘civilizational, normative and humanistic' approach cultivated an ‘academically informed pluralism' in most trainee-teachers. It strengthened their Ismaili Muslim identity on the one hand and generated an appreciation for diversity on the other. The individuals developed not only greater socio-cultural and historical awareness of religion, but also their ability to make a space for faith academically. It cultivated in the participants a degree of ‘inter-tradition competence' and ‘intra-Islam competence'. The individuals were not ‘pluralist angels', but they discursively participated in pluralism. The present study makes three key contributions. Firstly, this is the first study to propose the thesis of ‘rooted religious pluralisation'. It identifies the key features and tendencies inherent in a religious community's engagement with diversity through a five-dimensional working framework. Moreover, as a study of the socio-cultural process of ‘intra-faith pluralisation' in Muslim religious education setting, it is unique. It is about making sense of the everyday experiences of the Muslims who encounter diversity within their own faith. The thesis identifies various stages involved in the process of developing intra-faith competence and provides tools and vocabulary to discuss them meaningfully. Moreover, the study suggests the possibility of a Muslim education that can play a vital role in combating extremism and sectarianism. Current scholarship does not sufficiently take account of new and thought-provoking pedagogical developments in Muslim education. There is a dearth of studies on Muslim faith communities' efforts to build ‘intra-Islam competency' in their followers through faith-based education. The literature is also silent about how Ismaili Muslims handle differences among themselves regarding matters of faith, how they view differences within Islam and relate to wider religious plurality. Thus, the study contributes to a niche in the existing literature on religious pluralism.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the desirability of Australia???s State museums to be inclusive of diverse cultures. In keeping with a cultural studies approach, and a commitment to social action, emphasis is placed upon enhancing the ability of State museums to fulfil obligations and expectations imposed upon them as modern collecting institutions in a culturally diverse nation. By relating the desirability and ability of State museums to attaining social justice in a multicultural Australia through broadening the concept of Australia???s heritage, the thesis is firmly situated within post-colonial discourse. The thesis analyses State multicultural, heritage, and museum legislation, in New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland, with regard to State museums as agents of cultural policy. Results from a survey, Greeks and Museums, conducted amongst Australia???s Greeks in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, reveal an anomaly between their museum-going habits and the perception of those habits as expressed by government policies promoting the inclusion of Australians of a non-English speaking background in the nation???s cultural programmes. In exploring the issue of inclusiveness, the thesis highlights the need for cultural institutions to shift the emphasis away from audience development, towards greater audience participation. The thesis outlines an initiative-derived Queensland Model for establishing an inclusive relationship between museums and communities, resulting in permanent, affordable, and authoritative collections, while simultaneously improving the museums??? international reputation and networking capabilities. By using the example of one of the nation???s non-indigenous communities, and drawing upon material obtained through the survey, and a catalogue containing photographs and lists of Greek textile collections found in the Powerhouse Museum (MAAS), Sydney, the National Gallery of Victoria and the Immigration Museum, Melbourne, the Queensland Art Gallery and the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, as well as collections owned by private individuals, the thesis focuses on the role played by museums in constructing social cohesion and inclusiveness.

Full textAbstract:
The cultural determinism summoned in the discourse on the ‘war on terror’ embraces gender frames that invigorate the Islam and the West divide. In a vacuum of historical, geo-political and economic contexts, such frames conjure a Muslim woman archetype in opposition to Western conceptualizations of modernity. Ignoring the social milieu, as well as the current global transformations affecting people’s lives globally, conjectures in singular co-optations that isolate traits from religious dispositions have implications in how Muslim gender issues are perceived and addressed.This thesis intends to reconceptualize the Muslim woman image in an attempt to move beyond the gender polemics of cultural determinism and divide. Using narrative enquiry, the study makes a comparative analysis to discover how Muslim women in two disparate societies – Australia and Kenya are responding to the dynamics of change accelerated by globalization. Through primary research, it captures the narratives of 40 women along the axis of the two major influences on their lives - modernization and Islamization enhanced by globalization. In tracing the way global paradigms and policy changes at the macro-level have affected Muslim women and the responses produced, it provides an unconventional frame to view the lives of contemporary Muslim women.The study contends that in general, the issues facing Muslim women in the rapidly changing environment can be understood as challenges internal and external to faith orientation. On the one hand, the forces of a modern global culture offer opportunities and channels to redefine aspects of daily living and lifestyles. On the other, a resurgence of Islam manifests itself in an assertion of religious observance, cultural identity, values and morality that increasingly question these settings. The challenges are not confined to minorities in the West, but also borne by many in non-Western societies. Through its research findings, the study proposes that culture in itself is not immutable or a constant, but cultural expression is a vital part of utilizing opportunities availed by development and central to the process of development itself. As the means of comprehension without which life, lifestyles, objectives, aspirations and much more cannot be expressed, given meaning or be implemented, cultural expression is a vital aspect of human development. Accommodating these in the multicultural settings of contemporary environments is evermore salient in the globalized world.As the world becomes more interdependent, the challenges for a global society manifest in how societies organize themselves; how citizens participate and how decisions on collective issues can be more congruent to facilitate a more socially sustainable development. Through its schedule, the study attempts to provide an insight into the issues and challenges facing Muslim women in contemporary times and in the course of its findings makes a case for the value of diversity, cultural expression and a sustained representation of Muslim women within development issues.

Full textAbstract:
There is an abundance of research concerning diversity issues in American classrooms. However, researchers have not provided enough attention to religious goals of Muslim parents and their experiences with educational institutions. For this qualitative study, the researcher interviewed 15 Muslim parents, eight females and seven males, to explore how participants’ experiences and expectations influence the way they negotiate their religious needs with schools/preschool in Southern California. The results showed that cooperation and negotiations were key strategies adopted by Muslim parents to maintain relationships with educational organizations. Schools accommodated religious practices when requested and parents negotiated their needs when necessary. Findings also showed that participants connected the school’s role with academic learning and that teachers lacked accurate knowledge of Islam. There was a sense of restraint among participants. Participants did not want to share the name of their child’s school/preschool or materials shared by the school.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis offers a critical historical analysis of the discourses on sexual and gender diversity related to international human rights law and Islamic law, as well as an ethnographic account of contemporary Muslims in Lahore, Pakistan whose pluralist sexual and gender experience defies the punitive gaze of state law. The central hypothesis of this project is that critical - and parallel - examinations of the legal, social and political genealogies of human rights law and the Islamic legal tradition, as they relate to human sexual and gender difference, can reveal some salient patterns of insurrectionary vernacular discursive practices. It is, moreover, posited that sexually diverse and gender-variant Muslims already engage in such practices, which help them to negotiate their legal, political and social positions. The ethnographic part of this thesis, then, documents and interrogates those practices, while the concomitantly pursued historical analysis provides a broader background for understanding their invaluable role. Thereby compiled and recounted, a history - of sexual and gender plurality amidst the umma (1) past and present - is always already in the making. Whilst its roots - and rites run deep into the idiosyncratic forms of Muslim sociality, that narrative is now increasingly seen as a part of larger human rights and sexual/gender reforms. This thesis, thus, also endeavours to contextualise and historicise the treatment of sexual/gender diversity in international law- epitomised in the (legal) ascendance of the notions of sexual orientation and gender identity - by retracing, inter alia, the making of the sexual and gendered subject of Christian and European law. Ultimately, this thesis is an interdisciplinary account of Muslim sexual and gender diversity, and of the attempts of historical and contemporary legal systems at its regulation.

Full textAbstract:
Il pregio della città di Bologna non è dato dai singoli monumenti ma dal segno del portico che, declinato secondo diverse forme e linguaggi, dona coesione e compattezza al tessuto urbano. Il portico rappresenta la continuità di una tradizione stratificata nel tempo che coinvolge, non solo l’edilizia monumentale, ma anche quella minore dando luogo ad una visione unitaria, un unicum in cui è la città stessa a presentarsi come monumento, un museo diffuso da preservare, tutelare e valorizzare. Sebbene gli episodi porticati siano caratterizzati da un’eterogeneità di dimensioni, forme e materiali, il loro valore storico culturale è legato unicamente alla presenza del portico. Edifici monumentali e edifici seriali dialogano nel continuum contribuendo in egual modo alla definizione dell’identità della città. Il seguente lavoro di tesi si pone quindi l’obiettivo di analizzare il ruolo assunto dal portico nel tessuto urbano bolognese attraverso lo studio dell’evoluzione delle tecniche costruttive e dei materiali impiegati che ne hanno portato alla formazione di molteplici forme e stili. La ricerca in parallelo sull’origine e lo sviluppo del portico, sull’evoluzione del linguaggio e dell’apparato decorativo, affiancata con i dati relativi ai rilievi diretti eseguiti sugli edifici porticati, ha permesso analizzare i vari elementi morfologici che lo compongono e comprendere la varietà urbana. A conclusione della tesi, per favorire la lettura del museo diffuso costituito dal sistema porticato si sono individuati una serie di itinerari tematici interconnessi tra loro. Questi ultimi sono articolati in diversi ambiti culturali e tecnici che possono aiutare il visitatore a prendere consapevolezza della ricchezza del patrimonio culturale della città. In particolare, i percorsi sono i seguenti: lo storico, dei portici ecclesiastici, dei palazzi senatori, degli elementi costruttivi: colonne e capitelli, degli elementi costruttivi: decorazioni in cotto e gli imperdibili: le singolarità.

Considerada a espécie de cervídeo brasileira mais ameaçada de extinção, Mazama bororo, foi recentemente descrita em 1996. Devido a isso, aspectos básicos de sua biologia ainda são desconhecidos. Dessa maneira, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo utilizar DNA extraído de espécimes recentes e de museus para descrever a sua distribuição histórica, investigar a existência de padrões filogeográficos, avaliar a taxonomia da espécie e os erros de identificação no material analisado pertencente aos acervos científicos de museus. Para tanto, foi realizada a extração de DNA de 200 amostras de ossos turbinais obtidos em museus de história natural e 78 destes espécimes foram identificados a partir de iniciadores do gene citocromo b (224bp). O total de 22 espécimes identificados como pertencentes à espécie Mazama bororo permitiu conhecer áreas inéditas da distribuição histórica e, possivelmente atuais, da espécie, como os estados de Rio Grande do Sul, Minas Gerais, Goiás, Espírito Santo e Bahia. Além disso, a comparação entre o DNA dos holótipos de Mazama bororo e de Mazama americana jucunda indica que a espécie M. bororo corresponde à subespécie M. americana jucunda, descrita em 1913, demonstrando a necessidade de elevar essa subespécie à categoria de espécie. Análises filogeográficas da espécie demonstram que M. bororo não apresenta uma estruturação populacional histórica e que diversidade genética é baixa quando comparada a outras espécies, um indicativo de que políticas de manutenção e conservação dessa espécie são essenciais a sua permanência. Comparando-se as identificações morfológicas presentes nos museus com as identificações obtidas a partir do marcador molecular utilizado observa-se que a taxa de erro decorrente da classificação baseada em caracteres morfológicos foi de 26%. Entretanto, espera-se que, com o auxílio do DNA de coleções científicas, a seleção de caracteres morfológicos não convergentes para este grupo seja possível, permitindo assim a realização de identificações morfológicas corretamente.
Mazama bororo was recently described in 1996 and is considered the most threatened species of Brazilian deer. Due to this, basic aspects of its biology are still unknown. Thus, this research project aims to use DNA extracted from recent specimens and from natural history collections to review the taxonomy, to describe historical distribution and to investigate the existence of phylogeographic patterns on M. bororo. For this purpose, we extracted DNA from 200 samples of turbinate bones obtained from natural history collections and 78 of these were identified from cytochrome b initiator (224bp). We obtained a total of 22 specimens identified as M. bororo. This result allowed identify unpublished areas on historical and perhaps current distribution of M. bororo in states such as Rio Grande do Sul, Minas Gerais, Goiás, Espírito Santo and Bahia. Moreover, the comparison among the DNA from holotype of M. bororo and Mazama americana jucunda indicates that M. bororo corresponds to the subspecies M. americana jucunda, described in 1913, highlighting the need to raise this subspecies to full species status. Our results also demonstrates that M. bororo did not show a genetic structuration of their populations and that their genetic diversity is lower than other species, highlighting the need to increase conservation and environment policy efforts to maintenance of this species. Finally, when we compare the morphological identification available on natural history collections with the identification obtained from molecular markers we found that the error rate resulting from the classification based on morphological characters was 26%. Nevertheless, we expect with the help of DNA from natural history collections will be possible to select non-convergent morphological characters for this group, allowing thus correct morphological identifications.

Full textAbstract:
What are grassroots “Canadian Muslims” and why not use the descriptor “Muslims in Canada”? This thesis examines the novel concept of locale specific grassroots Canadian Muslim identity of second and 1.5 generation Muslims in the prairie city of Winnipeg, Manitoba. The project focuses on a generation of Muslims that are settled, embedded, and active in a medium sized Canadian metropolis. Locale plays a powerful part in the way people navigate identities, form attachments, find belonging, and negotiate communities and society. In order to explore this unique identity a case study was conducted in Winnipeg. Interviews with 1.5 and second generation Muslims explored the experience of grassroots Canadian Muslim identity. The project does not focus on religious doxy or praxis but rather tries to understand a lived Canadian Muslim identity by exploring discourse and space as well as strategies, social perceptions and expectations. Participant observation, community resources and literature also aid in the understanding of the grassroots Canadian Muslim experience. This study found that the attachments, networks, and experiences in the locale give room for an embedded Canadian Muslim experience and more negotiable identities than most studies on Muslims in Canada describe. These individuals are not foreigners living in Canada. Their worldviews develop out of this particular and embedded grassroots experience. They navigate a new kind of hybrid Canadian Muslim identity that is unique and flexible. This is the Canadian Muslim experience of 2nd and 1.5 generation Winnipeg Muslims.

Interest in Muslim and Arab societies has been on the rise in South Korea, especially since 2001, with many books and various documentaries being published on the subject. Since 2005 there have been a number of television shows and documentaries that include Muslim, and sometimes Arab characters. This study will examine how images of Muslims and Arabs are presented in Korean popular culture through the analysis of various dramas and variety shows, as well as how these images fit into the context of Korean ethno-nationalism and the history of Islam in East Asia. In addition to this analysis this study will also be exploring how these images have been changing from negative to a more sympathetic or realistic depiction of Muslims and Arabs, as well as explore which groups are responsible for this change.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur la genèse de la Politique Nationale des Musées au Brésil dans les années 2000. L’expérience consolide des espaces de mémoire en tant qu’objets d’une politique publique dans le pays et impact le développement de démarches similaires en Amérique du Sud, marquées par les idées de la muséologie sociale. Cette recherche analyse, à la lumière de l’approche cognitive, les variables permettant d’expliquer l’émergence de cette politique muséale, qui configure l’ensemble des actions étatiques envers les musées et leurs collections. Elle s’appuie sur des données issues d'entretiens auprès des décideurs politiques et membres de la communauté muséale, de l'analyse de sources primaires et secondaires sur l’activité des institutions de gestion muséale nationales, des discours, lois et plans stratégiques. Cette étude démontre que l’effort vers le développement des solutions locales pour la gouvernance mémorielle sous l’influence du mouvement de la « nouvelle muséologie », dans le cadre de la montée d’une démarche de reconnaissance de la diversité culturelle, trouve sa place dans l’agenda, lors de l’alternance politique qui permet l’arrivée au sommet de l'État du premier gouvernement de gauche dans le pays. La politique muséale apporte une re-signification symbolique majeure des discours et pratiques mémorielles au Brésil et fonctionne comme un élément de légitimation du nouveau gouvernement, élu grâce à un programme ciblé sur la démocratisation de la structure publique au nom de la « justice sociale »This thesis examines the genesis of the National Museums Policy in Brazil in the 2000s. The Brazilian model consolidated memory spaces as objects of public policy and served as a starting point for the development of similar initiatives elsewhere in South America, influenced by the theories of social museology. In order to explain the emergence of this museum policy, which encompassed all state actions towards museums and their collections, this research analyzes a combination of political, social, and cultural factors in the light of the cognitive approach. It draws on data from interviews with policy makers and members of the museum community, and analysis of primary and secondary sources related to the activities of national institutions of museum management, including speeches, legislation, and strategic plans. This thesis demonstrates that efforts towards the development of local solutions to memorial governance – under the influence of the movement of the "new museology," and as part of the rise of a process of recognition of cultural diversity – found its place on the political agenda due to a change of administration that led to the country’s first leftist government. The museum policy marked a major symbolic resignification of memorial discourses and practices in Brazil, and served as a means to legitimate the new government, which had been elected on a platform of democratizing public structures in the name of "social justice"

Relatório de Estágio do Mestrado em Política Cultural Autárquica apresentado à Faculdade de LetrasO presente trabalho representa o relatório de estágio curricular correspondente ao Mestrado em Política Cultural Autárquica da Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Coimbra e realizado, entre Dezembro de 2016 e Maio de 2017, no Museu Municipal de Coimbra. Integra-se no âmbito do conceito de museologia socialmente responsável e visa contribuir para uma prática mais inclusiva, representativa e participativa por parte do Museu Municipal de Coimbra. Sustentado por um trabalho teórico e de pesquisa acerca do papel social do museu e da sua responsabilidade relativamente aos temas fraturantes da atualidade, tem como principal objetivo alertar para a importância de questões como o multiculturalismo e a diversidade cultural no futuro dos museus. Defende que o museu do século XXI deve ser um espaço totalmente aberto ao público, livre dos habituais elitismos e barreiras físicas, sociais, financeiras e culturais que muitas vezes afastam as pessoas. O paradigma de museu atual não pode esgotar-se num mero santuário de relíquias e histórias do passado, devendo encarar os desafios de uma sociedade contemporânea em constante metamorfose, onde a discriminação e a exclusão social são uma realidade. O Museu Municipal de Coimbra está numa posição estratégica e privilegiada para assumir-se como um marco no que à museologia socialmente responsável diz respeito. Numa sociedade e comunidade multicultural, em grande parte graças à forte presença de estudantes de todo o mundo, Coimbra deve assumir a interculturalidade como parte integrante da sua identidade. O presente trabalho propõe-se a apresentar uma serie de princípios, estratégias e propostas de atividades que, aplicadas, tornarão o Museu Municipal de Coimbra num espaço mais inclusivo, consciente da dimensão da sua missão museológica e ao serviço da comunidade.
The following paper represents the internship report corresponding to the Master Degree in Municipal Cultural Policy of The Faculty of Letters of University of Coimbra developed, between December 2016 and May 2017, on Coimbra’s Municipal Museum. This internship report integrates within a socially responsible museology and aims to contribute to a more inclusive, representative and participative practice in the Municipal Museum. Sustained by a theory-based work and research on the social role of a museum and its responsibility on nowadays important matters, the main goal is to bring awareness to significant subjects such as multiculturalism and cultural diversity and what they represent to the future of museums. It argues that the museum of the XXI century should be completely open to the public, free of the common elitisms and any physical, social, financial and cultural barrier that often drive people away. The current paradigm of museum should not stop at a mere sanctuary of relics and stories of the past and museums should face the challenges of a contemporary society in constant metamorphosis, where discrimination and social exclusion are a reality. Coimbra’s Municipal Museum is in a strategic and unique position to establish itself as a cornerstone when it comes to socially responsible museology. In a multicultural society and community, due mainly to the strong presence of students from all around the world, Coimbra must assume interculturality as part of its identity. This paper challenges itself in presenting a series of guidelines, strategies and proposals of activities that, if applied, will make of Coimbra’s Municipal Museum, a much more inclusive place, aware of the dimension of its mission and the service of its community.

Full textAbstract:
Many researchers say that the multiculturalism in Russia has emerged recently, but this term started to dеvеlop few dеcades ago. During this time period we have seen its significant change and improvement. Russian sociеty culturally is very divеrse. There are many different nаtions, culturеs, religions, and even civilizations living in Russia. The uniqueness of Russia consists in the fact that those different culturеs are its indigenous people. There is probably no other stаte in the world with such a high number of different culturеs living together relatively peacefully for centuries. Also, culturally diverse population of Russia is not composed of migrаnts as in the case of Europe or the USA. For this purpose the beginning of the thesis is dedicated to understanding of the term multiculturalism, cultural diversity, minority groups and similar. Multiculturalism developed significantly especially in the phase of last events which took place in the Wеst. The 9/11 has brought several changes. Also, the latest incidents (and the speeches of the several lеadеrs) in Europe have shown Europeans and the rest of the world that the situation in immigrаnt welcoming rеgions is not positive as before. This makes the policy of multiculturalism even more complicated in the light of present developments. The...

Full textAbstract:
Despite the diversity among Muslim women, in Australia and elsewhere, they have been constructed as homogenous and bound to a religious identity and the veil. The aim of this thesis was to explore the diverse ways in which Muslim women negotiate their identity in the context of Australian multicultural social relations, informed by current and historical colonial discourses.

Atualmente, a constante deslocação de pessoas, a nível nacional e internacional, facilitada pela evolução dos transportes, multiplicou os fluxos migratórios que têm vindo a crescer em termos de complexidade e de escala, aumentando a diversidade cultural dos Estados. As sociedades contemporâneas são o reflexo de uma vastíssima pluralidade de indivíduos com origens étnicas e culturais diferentes, línguas e religiões diversas. De igual forma, também as estruturas sociais, culturais e políticas das sociedades que os acolhem são variadas. Esta diversidade cultural presente nas atuais sociedades coloca bastantes desafios às autoridades locais, regionais, nacionais e internacionais em termos de políticas de gestão da mesma. Uma questão essencial é a de encontrar uma fórmula que permita a integração dos “outros” na sociedade recetora, e, em simultâneo, a manutenção da coesão social da mesma e o bem-estar generalizado da população. Neste âmbito, as medidas culturais assumem uma nova importância. A cultura, ao serviço da política, pode ser um instrumento de transmutação que permita o florescimento de novas identidades individuais e coletivas, contribuindo para que a diversidade cultural aconteça num ambiente de justiça social e de respeito entre todos. A cultura tem a capacidade de promover o diálogo intercultural entre indivíduos de origens distintas originando novos espaços de diálogo, de que os museus são parte. Neste trabalho pretende-se abordar a relevância da atuação destas instituições culturais na gestão da diversidade cultural para a obtenção da coesão social em sociedades cuja diversidade cultural resulta das migrações.Nowadays, the constant movement of people, nationally and internationally, which has been facilitated by the development of transports, has multiplied the migration flows. These flows have been growing in complexity and scale, increasing cultural diversity within States. Contemporary societies are a reflection of a vast plurality of individuals with different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, languages and religions. Similarly, also the social, cultural and political structures of the societies that receive them are varied. This cultural diversity present in today’s societies poses a number of challenges to local, regional, national and international authorities in terms of management policies of it. A key issue is to find a formula that allows the integration of "others" in the receiving society, and at the same time maintaining the social cohesion and the general welfare of the population. In this context, the cultural measures assume a new importance. Culture at the service of politics can become an instrument of transmutation that allows the flourishing of new individual and collective identities, contributing to cultural diversity to take place in a socially just and respectful environment. Culture has the ability to promote intercultural dialogue between individuals of different origins giving rise to new spaces for dialogue, that museums are part of. This paper aims to address the relevance of the activities of these cultural institutions in the management of cultural diversity for the achievement of social cohesion in societies whose cultural diversity results from migration.

Full textAbstract:
En 1947, après l’obtention de l’indépendance, l’Inde est devenue une république séculière et démocratique proposant ainsi une nouvelle organisation de la société. Sans faire l’unanimité, des lois familiales différenciées selon l’identité religieuse ainsi que des droits socioéconomiques associés à l’appartenance à un groupe ont été reconnus par l’État. Dans le climat politique des années 90, le secularism et les droits de groupe ont été le sujet de débats.
À partir d’une considération du contexte sociohistorique, cette recherche porte sur les manières de se représenter la laïcité indienne et sur ses rapports potentiels avec des lois différenciées selon l’appartenance religieuse. À travers la notion d’égalité, cette recherche explore les droits et les devoirs associés à la juste approche de la diversité religieuse en Inde indépendante. Une attention particulière est accordée à la période contemporaine et aux droits des Indiens musulmans. Dans cette recherche, les représentations juridiques qui se dégagent de l’analyse des débats publics et intellectuels sont mises en parallèle avec les points de vue de dix-sept répondants de la classe moyenne de Kolkata (été 2011).
À travers cette démarche, cette analyse du discours informe sur les conceptions du secularism débattues en Inde indépendante et dans la période contemporaine. Parallèlement à un accent mis sur l’amour de la diversité, les droits individuels, les devoirs et l’auto régulation, les droits différenciés pour les musulmans sont, pour la majorité des répondants, rejetés. Deux approches de l’État sont soulevées dans les définitions du secularism, une version plus dirigiste et l’autre laissant plus de souveraineté aux groupes.In 1947, India became a secular democratic republic proposing a new organization of society. Family laws, established according to religious affiliation and affirmative action policies, were recognized by the state without unanimity. In the political climate of the nineties, such secularism and group rights were questioned. From a socio-historical perspective, this research focuses on the practices & representations of Indian secularism and its potential relationship with laws differentiated by religious affiliation. Based on the notion of equality, the present research explores the rights and obligations associated with the just approach to religious diversity in independent India. Particular attention is given to the contemporary period and to Indian Muslims’ group rights. In this research, legal representations that emerge from the analysis of public and intellectual debates are paralleled with the viewpoints of seventeen of Kolkata’s middle-class informants (summer 2011). Using this approach, the discourse analysis informs the reader on the conception of secularism discussed in contemporary, independent India. Recognising the value of diversity, duties and self regulation, the majority of respondents reject differentiated rights for Muslims. Two approaches of the state emerge; one in which the State is more directive and one which provides more autonomy to the group.
