Although diversity has always been a fundamental characteristic of human societies, now more than ever it has become central to the political and research agenda. The question of how we can live together while enjoying our differences is a fundamental issue of our time, and the city is viewed as the most promising site to negotiate identities. That being so, what is the role of museums? How can local museums develop interventions that address local cultural diversity issues? In the first part of the article, I introduce the idea of “Intercultural City museum work.” I present a metadesign framework that aims to help museums emphasize the impact of diversity work on their local contexts, proposing the Intercultural City approach as a reference point. In the second part of the article, I describe the “Intercultural City museum work” and on using the metadesign framework with reference to MUST-Museo del Territorio Vimercatese, a civic museum on local history and identity in Vimercate, a town in the metropolitan area of Milan. Immigration to the geographical area over the past few decades and the resulting cultural diversity are neither reflected in the museum collections nor the permanent exhibitions. As a result, the museum decided to address these topics through services, events and special projects. In particular, I describe the exhibition Words to Receive. Words to be Received, designed and created by COI-Centro Orientamento Immigrati—a local immigrants’ resource centre—with the museum.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the current status and characteristics of university museum programs in order to revitalize regional links between university museums. Four university museums established before 1954 (Yonsei University Museum, Korea University Museum, Ewha Women's University Museum, and Seoul National University Museum) were selected as research subjects. The result proves that all four university museums recognize the importance of regional linkages and have conducted programs that pursue regional linkages for local residents, however, there were limits in diversity of the programs that they were mostly focused on specific frames. In the further follow-up studies, measures to strengthen locality are expected to be sought through the development of regional linkage programs by the university museum.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This article chronicles the twenty-six-year history of the Saint Louis Art Museum Romare Bearden Graduate Museum Fellowship, which was created to increase the number of professional staff from underrepresented backgrounds working in museums. It provides an overview of early supporters/founders of the program and details the trajectory of a generation of Bearden Fellows, most of whom are now professionally engaged in museums and arts-related careers. This case study also examines the benefits of staff diversity to the inclusive culture sought by museums as they cultivate new audiences and search for innovative strategies to maintain their relevance and community relationships. It calls upon museums to view diversity as an evolutionary conversation by examining the motivations and objectives that constitute the contemporary “diversity and inclusion” discourse.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In all the complexity of the museum study, there is a slight border that deserves all the attention of the researchers: the one of the niche museums. This work starts from the idea according to which the museum becomes a symbol of cultural practice in the contemporary era. In addition to the successful museums that are being built and built in the city, there is a new tendency to transform some spaces into small museums. These, in full process of heritage building, can highlight a series of features and characteristics of a society. The research of the niche museum starts from Ulf Hannerz, who says in his study that anthropology must renew its limits, it must take into account urban life. Researchers should not focus only on rural areas, in small, homogeneous communities, especially as they are outside Western societies Urban anthropology must be based on a range of social and cultural phenomena that will rarely be found in rural areas and which must be analyzed in the light of the diversity of human societies in general, says Ulf Hannerz, like the diversity of museums. From the chocolate museum, the lace museum, the cake museum, the cheese museum or the flower museum, all these culturally-rendered spaces are meant to anonymously remove some objects or crafts that are characteristic of a particular group and which subsequently become part of the immaterial cultural heritage. The Dictionary of Ethnology and Anthropology defines the study of anthropology regarding museography as a necessity inherent in the advancement of ethnography. Researchers such as Robert Park, Ulf Hannerz, Clifford Geertz, André Malraux or Chiara Bortolotto have studied the relationship of the museum with the city, thus implicitly with society. The conclusions they draw have the following aspect in common: the museum has the intrinsic ability to model and structure the immediate society.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The role of museums in society has expanded significantly in the last decades: from temples of knowledge to forums for debate and discussion, from repositories of objects to people-centred institutions with social responsibilities and functions. This shift reflects an ongoing trend to democratise museums and make them more accessible to wider audiences and responsive to the public’s changing needs, in particular the interests of local communities, whose composition has changed in recent years to include migrants and people of different ethnic backgrounds. With annual migration flows to the EU as a whole projected to increase from about 1 043 000 people in 2010 to 1 332 500 by 2020, the question of how cultural institutions can contribute to effective integration and dialogue has become more relevant than ever. Funders and society at large expect museums to play their part in facilitating the integration and peaceful coexistence of newcomers, with financial resources being made available, also at the EU level, to support them in this effort. Many questions can be raised as to whether it is right and appropriate to charge museums with these responsibilities and whether this would push the boundaries of their work too far and give the social function an exceedingly prominent role over the traditional conservation and educational tasks museums already fulfil. But this discussion seems to be already obsolete in the light of the growing body of evidence on good practices available at the European level. This essay aims to illustrate some of them, as well as to discuss some underpinning theoretical issues and methodological approaches.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This article examines the idea of “vernacular museums” as it was put forth by Irina Kyzlasova and Elena Chesnokova in an earlier issue of the journal. In response to the authors’ idea, I aim to further develop the line of argumentation, proposing to broaden the scope of analysis for this phenomenon. The article explores the issues surrounding the application of the term “vernacular museum.” These obstacles include the presence of previous iterations of such museums, the inherent contradictions within the categorization of museums’ diversity, and the challenges associated with conceptualizing vernaculars as a significant Other of the officially recognized museum models. The article presents a novel approach to examining modern museum activities, suggesting that they could be placed alongside broader grassroots commemoration activities and memorial activism.

During the 1999 American Association of Museums (AAM) meetings, museum workers reflected on ways in which their institutions could become more relevant. Social structures that have supported museums are rapidly changing and in which cultural diversity is increasingly recognized as both a social value and as a pragmatic challenge for public institutions. Although the forms they take are almost as diverse as the American museum community itself, models of direct collaboration between museums and specific local communities (ethnic, religious, occupational, etc.) are becoming a standard part of museum-based exhibition and research. While this common pattern is emerging, there are wide gaps existing between the aspirations and rhetoric of museum advocates of collaboration and the real work done throughout the United States. What is often missing in collaborative exhibition projects exploring local artistic, cultural, or historical traditions are the values and perspectives that are the common background of professional cultural anthropology and folklore research. In this essay I present, as a case study, an account of a collaborative exhibition project at Tulsa's Gilcrease Museum where I, until recently, served as Curator of Anthropology.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This study presents a theoretical discussion on the qualitative growth of Korean public museums, which constitute the majority of museums in the country. Based on the newly revised definition of museums by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) in 2022, this paper examines the social role of museums and explores the direction of Korean public museums based on the emerging discourse of Museum Activism in Europe. The new definition emphasizes the social role of museums, and the concepts of inclusivity, diversity, and sustainability highlighted therein resonate with the principles of activist museums. Consequently, it is crucial to view museums as potential agents for solving social problems. This study investigates the relationship. Museums are now at a crossroads. This study endeavors to serve as a starting point for Korean public museums to embrace an activist stance. By incorporating the aforementioned recommendations, Korean public museums can evolve into active agents of social change, contributing to the betterment of society.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Labor history in UK museums is constantly in a state of change. A hundred-year-old tradition of displaying and interpreting the history of the common people has seen a shift from the folk life museum to a much more all-encompassing model. The academic trend for and acceptance of working-class history began this process, and museums followed, albeit at a much slower pace. Young curators actively involved in the History Workshop, Oral History, and Women's History movements brought their new philosophies into the museum sphere. This internally driven change in museums has been matched with demand for change from above. Museums have been given a central role in the current Labour government's wide-ranging strategies to promote an understanding of diversity, citizenship, cultural identity, and lifelong learning as part of a broader social inclusion policy. The zenith of this plan would be a museum devoted to British national history, though whether this will take place is yet to be seen. The transformation of the People's History Museum makes an interesting case study. The museum, originally an institution on the fringes of academic labor history and actively outside the museum community, is now at the forefront of labor history display, interpretation, textile conservation, and working-class historical research.

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.
Cerca il testo completoAbstract (sommario):
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.

Savva, Stefania. "The potential of a museum-school partnership to support diversity and multiliteracies-based pedagogy for the 21st century." Thesis, University of Leicester, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/2381/38818.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
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.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
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.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
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.<br>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.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
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 muséologie<br>How 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

Benouaret, Idir. "Un système de recommandation contextuel et composite pour la visite personnalisée de sites culturels." Thesis, Compiègne, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017COMP2332/document.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
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 recommandations<br>Our 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

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
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.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
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.<br>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.

Community Schools Museums (COSMUS) is an initiative that has been developing an approach to school education from a perspective of multi-dimensional diversity, creativity and community involvement under the Erasmus+ programme in six different countries (Portugal, Greece, Italy, Romania, Poland and Turkey) and in different kinds of schools (arts, music, primary school, high school, VET).This initiative, relies on different educational and multicultural principles, such as the European Youth Charter on Inclusion and Diversity in Education or the European Education Area, and uses a combination of three dimensions that compose the new concept of Community School Museum.The first dimension refers to the local community in which each of the schools is located. This not only enhances concepts such as local traditions, society, or sense of belonging, but also connects with them and involves them in the school activity and curricula content.The second dimension is the school, where education curricula and physical space interact to support those types of knowledge that are essential to sustaining human development, using critical thinking, using creativity or cooperation to promote multicultural meanings.The third dimension is the museum, understood as a flexible tool acting as a communication channel (bi-directional), with elements that act as significance bearers. It uses the approach of learning by doing in order to learn to be, one of the four pillars of learning. It also employs the recommendations of the International Committee for Education and Cultural Action and applies the seven areas of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network.Results of the Community School Museum projects show a sound diversity of approaches, which points to the success of the methodology, given that diverse educational, social and cultural contexts give rise to diverse museum contents and designs. One of these results focuses on vernacular heritage.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
One of the main figures of the Romanian ethnographic museography of the interwar period was Petre Ștefănucă, the first Bessarabian who developed the concept of an ethnographic museum and for the first time expressed the idea of organizing a Bessarabian ethnographic museum in Chișinău. The author makes an analysis of the concept elaborated by P. Ștefănucă, concluding that the scientist defined an ethnographic museum as: – a means of saving and researching the ethnographic heritage and as a real living school of knowledge of the Romanian people between the Prut and the Dniester; – a scientific institution discussing a broad issue, that of integrating ethnology into history and, in its light, the relationship between a historical museum and an ethnographic museum; – a general museum, whose collections are based on a large typological diversity of cultural values, but with an emphasis on folk architecture and traditional techniques; – a repository of intangible heritage, suggesting that elements of this heritage be collected from peasants who are keepers of old beliefs and customs. P. Ștefănucă believed that the developed concept can be implemented only when the necessity and usefulness of the ethnographic museum for Bessarabia is realized by the whole society.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The current conceptions of the museum determine the exploration of strategies that promote not only observation of the works, but also dialogue and interaction, ensuring access, social and cultural participation of an increasingly diverse audience, without discrimination and within equal access conditions. The aim of this paper is to discuss the potential of Inclusive Design Spaces applied to museum space, taking into consideration the common and specific user needs as a consequence of human diversity. Based on an empirical study, undertaken in The National Tile Museum (MNAz) in Lisbon and applied on two distinct groups of visitors - a young and a senior group with different needs and expectations at the physical, social and cognitive level - it was possible to ascertain the impact of the physical attributes of a museum space on visitors. Ergonomics and Inclusive Design Spaces are the two sides of the same coin. This study seeks also to expand knowledge on the influence of Design in museological space in the process of communication and in the effective accessibility of all information with maximum visitor autonomy.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Vicksburg National Military Park (VICK) was established for its historical significance as a one of the principle military sieges resulting in a turning point during the American Civil War. The steep terrain around the city of Vicksburg was integral in the military siege, providing high vantage points and a substrate that was easy to entrench for the armies, but unknown to many is the fossil content, particularly a diversity of fossil mollusks. These fossils at VICK are important paleontological resources which have yet to receive focused attention from park staff, visitors, and researchers. The park’s geology is dominated by windblown silt from the last Ice Age which overlays river-transported gravels and bedrock of the late Oligocene–early Miocene-age Catahoula Formation or early Oligocene Vicksburg Group. The park is home to the type section (a geological reference locality upon which a formation is based) for the Mint Spring Formation, one of the most fossiliferous formations in this group (Henderson et al. 2022). Beginning roughly 32 million years ago (Dockery 2019), the early Oligocene deposits of the Vicksburg Group were deposited as the sea level along the Gulf Coast shore repeatedly rose and fell. The eponymously named Vicksburg Group is comprised of, from oldest to youngest, the Forest Hill, Mint Spring, Marianna Limestone, Glendon Limestone, Byram, and Bucatunna Formations. Each of these formations are within VICK’s boundaries, in addition to outcrops of the younger Catahoula Formation. Paleozoic fossils transported by the ancestral Mississippi River have also been redeposited within VICK as pre-loess stream gravels. Overlying these layers is the Quaternary-age silt which composes the loess found throughout VICK, meaning the park’s fossils span the entire Phanerozoic Eon. The fossils of VICK consist mostly of near-shore marine Oligocene invertebrates including corals, bryozoans, bivalves, gastropods, scaphopods, ostracods, and more, though terrestrial and freshwater snails of the loess, microfossils, plant fossils, occasional vertebrates, and others can also be found in the park. Notable historical figures such as Charles Alexandre Lesueur, Charles Lyell, and John Wesley Powell all collected fossils or studied geology in the Vicksburg area. The Vicksburg Group is culturally relevant as well, as the Glendon Limestone Formation has been identified by its embedded fossils as a source rock for Native American effigy pipes. This paleontological resource inventory is the first of its kind for VICK. Although Vicksburg fossils have most recently been studied as part of the Gulf Coast Inventory & Monitoring Network (Kenworthy et al. 2007), the park has never received a comprehensive, dedicated fossil inventory before this report. At least 27 fossil species, listed in Appendix B, have been named and described from specimens collected from within VICK’s lands, and VICK fossils can be found at six or more non-NPS museum repositories. Beginning in January 2022, field surveys were undertaken at VICK, covering nearly all the park’s wooded areas, streams, and other portions beyond the preserved trenches and tour road. Fossils were collected or observed at 72 localities. These specimens will be added into VICK’s museum collections, which previously contained no paleontological resources. Considering the minimal attention dedicated to these resources in the past, these newly acquired fossil specimens may be used in the future for educational, interpretive, or research purposes. Future park construction needs should take into account the protection of these resources by avoiding important localities or allowing collection efforts before localities become inaccessible or lost.

Description Ballarat sits on Wathaurong land and is located at the crossroads of four main Victorian highways. A number of State agencies are located here to support and build entrepreneurial activity in the region. The Ballarat Technology Park, located some way out of the heart of the city at the Mount Helen campus of Federation University, is an attempt to expand and diversify the technology and innovation sector in the region. This university also has a high profile presence in the city occupying part of a historically endowed precinct in the city centre. Because of the wise preservation and maintenance of its heritage listed buildings by the local council, Ballarat has been used as the location for a significant set of feature films, documentaries and television series bringing work to local crews and suppliers. With numerous festivals playing to the cities strengths many creative embeddeds and performing artists take advantage of employment in facilities such as the Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka. The city has its share of start-ups, as well as advertising, design and architectural firms. The city is noted for its museums, its many theatres and art galleries. All major national networks service the TV and radio sector here while community radio is strong and growing.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Around the world, pandemic relief efforts saw renewed attention to state social protection and its limitations. Less attention has been paid to alternative forms of welfare provision, including zakat in Muslim countries. We ask how states and citizens engage with zakat during a crisis through a case study of the Covid-19 pandemic in Pakistan, Egypt and Morocco, drawing on novel and nationally representative survey data from 5,484 respondents. While we might expect citizens to be less motivated to pay zakat at times of personal economic hardship, we find that a large majority of the general population and of zakat contributors perceive zakat as particularly important in the Covid context, and were also more likely to make other charitable contributions. We argue that zakat may play an important role in supplementing state social protection and redistribution in times of crisis. While we find evidence for zakat’s redistributive nature, the diversity of practice and common reliance on social relations need to be considered when looking at its redistributive impact and function in times of crisis.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Ours is an age of pervasive political turbulence, and the scale of the challenge requires new thinking on politics as well as public ethics for our world. In Western countries, the specter of Islamophobia, alt-right populism, along with racialized violence has shaken public confidence in long-secure assumptions rooted in democracy, diversity, and citizenship. The tragic denouement of so many of the Arab uprisings together with the ascendance of apocalyptic extremists like Daesh and Boko Haram have caused an even greater sense of alarm in large parts of the Muslim-majority world. It is against this backdrop that M.A. Muqtedar Khan has written a book of breathtaking range and ethical beauty. The author explores the history and sociology of the Muslim world, both classic and contemporary. He does so, however, not merely to chronicle the phases of its development, but to explore just why the message of compassion, mercy, and ethical beauty so prominent in the Quran and Sunna of the Prophet came over time to be displaced by a narrow legalism that emphasized jurisprudence, punishment, and social control. In the modern era, Western Orientalists and Islamists alike have pushed the juridification and interpretive reification of Islamic ethical traditions even further. Each group has asserted that the essence of Islam lies in jurisprudence (fiqh), and both have tended to imagine this legal heritage on the model of Western positive law, according to which law is authorized, codified, and enforced by a leviathan state. “Reification of Shariah and equating of Islam and Shariah has a rather emaciating effect on Islam,” Khan rightly argues. It leads its proponents to overlook “the depth and heights of Islamic faith, mysticism, philosophy or even emotions such as divine love (Muhabba)” (13). As the sociologist of Islamic law, Sami Zubaida, has similarly observed, in all these developments one sees evidence, not of a traditionalist reassertion of Muslim values, but a “triumph of Western models” of religion and state (Zubaida 2003:135). To counteract these impoverishing trends, Khan presents a far-reaching analysis that “seeks to move away from the now failed vision of Islamic states without demanding radical secularization” (2). He does so by positioning himself squarely within the ethical and mystical legacy of the Qur’an and traditions of the Prophet. As the book’s title makes clear, the key to this effort of religious recovery is “the cosmology of Ihsan and the worldview of Al-Tasawwuf, the science of Islamic mysticism” (1-2). For Islamist activists whose models of Islam have more to do with contemporary identity politics than a deep reading of Islamic traditions, Khan’s foregrounding of Ihsan may seem unfamiliar or baffling. But one of the many achievements of this book is the skill with which it plumbs the depth of scripture, classical commentaries, and tasawwuf practices to recover and confirm the ethic that lies at their heart. “The Quran promises that God is with those who do beautiful things,” the author reminds us (Khan 2019:1). The concept of Ihsan appears 191 times in 175 verses in the Quran (110). The concept is given its richest elaboration, Khan explains, in the famous hadith of the Angel Gabriel. This tradition recounts that when Gabriel appeared before the Prophet he asked, “What is Ihsan?” Both Gabriel’s question and the Prophet’s response make clear that Ihsan is an ideal at the center of the Qur’an and Sunna of the Prophet, and that it enjoins “perfection, goodness, to better, to do beautiful things and to do righteous deeds” (3). It is this cosmological ethic that Khan argues must be restored and implemented “to develop a political philosophy … that emphasizes love over law” (2). In its expansive exploration of Islamic ethics and civilization, Khan’s Islam and Good Governance will remind some readers of the late Shahab Ahmed’s remarkable book, What is Islam? The Importance of Being Islamic (Ahmed 2016). Both are works of impressive range and spiritual depth. But whereas Ahmed stood in the humanities wing of Islamic studies, Khan is an intellectual polymath who moves easily across the Islamic sciences, social theory, and comparative politics. He brings the full weight of his effort to conclusion with policy recommendations for how “to combine Sufism with political theory” (6), and to do so in a way that recommends specific “Islamic principles that encourage good governance, and politics in pursuit of goodness” (8).
