Reading Góngora's habla de negros in a Literary Attack Poem
Authors: Jane Kelley Mary
Published: August 2018

This article interprets and contextualizes Góngora's 1609 burlesque, black-talk sonnet “A la Jerusalén conquistada que compuso Lope de Vega.” A translation into English illuminates the poem's sense: a black reader critiques Lope's epic and alludes to an African epic superior to the Jerusalén. After clarifying Góngora's words, I argue that his implied reader recognizes black talk as an invitation to laughter at and derision of black Africans. The study then focuses specifically on black oppression related to literary composition and shows how Góngora's sonnet affirms exclusivity for white male authors. To this end, I establish parallels between Góngora's sonnet and writing by and about Juan Latino, the sixteenth-century black author of epic poetry in Latin who challenged white authorial exclusivity and became a frequently invoked exception to the rule as well as a target for racist stereotyping.

Atmosfære på museum – at (be)gribe en stemning
Authors: Wiil Pernille Henriette
Published: August 2018

Atmospheres are strange – evasive and yet profound. Bound to space, they can a ect our very being by colouring our perception and in uencing our moods. In this article I will demonstrate how an awareness of the atmospheres in the house museum of the architect Marius Pedersen can provide a comprehension of the ambiguity in Bedre Byggeskik’s architectural project – an ambiguity that has proven di cult to grasp otherwise. rough an exploration of the two dominant spaces (the front garden and the entrance room), I will focus on the potentials of the atmospheres as ways of recognizing the actual house as the object of the house-museum. Because of their uncertain status of being ”in-between” (as in- between subject–object, consciousness–unconsciousness, material–immaterial), the atmospheres o er a kind of evocative communication that exceeds the deliverance of ”facts”. e experiencing of atmospheres o en evokes past experiences of similar atmospheres that a ect the moods of the house museum’s guests. ese moods can be considered existential given that they simultaneously contain the past, the present and the possible future in a privileged space in-between re ection and emotion.
Lad os gemme på lyden. Indsamling og dokumentation af lyd på kulturhistoriske museer
Authors: Hjortkjær Kamilla
Published: August 2018

Part of our cultural heritage is the sound that surrounds us. Sound as a generator of memories will most often be tied to particular places, events and periods, and has significant potential in terms of being able to strengthen our memories and cultural-historical insights. Sound should therefore be seen as part of the intangible cultural heritage. This article points out that museums and archives should form an underlying foundation of knowledge about sound and audio culture, and thereby also a basis for how such a collection can be undertaken in practice. The article focuses on how museums can proceed with the gathering of contemporary soundscapes, and therefore also clarifies the manner in which the selection and gathering of relevant cultural-historical audio landscapes can be carried out, by museums which are used to systematically collecting and documenting cultural heritage.

Nordisk Museologi har fått ny innpakning, med nytt omslag og andre fargenyanser. Men vi har også vendt tilbake til gamle fonter fra de første årgangene av tidsskriftet, som i år feirer 21 år. Slik har vi ønsket å vektlegge kontinuitet i våre ambisjoner om å være med på å fornye og forme museologien så vel som museene. På våre hjemmesider, som nå også gjennomgår en ansiktsløftning, kan man finne numre tilbake til 1993, der publiseres numre med to års forsinkelse. På EBSCOhost kan man finne også de nyeste artiklene digitalt. Slik vil vi være digitalt tilgjengelige, men fremdeles være et tidsskrift hvor artiklene kan leses samlet, hvor nettopp kombinasjonen av de ulike temaene og perspektivene i hvert nummer skal gi en tilleggsverdi.
Opponentindlæg: Lise Camilla Ruud. Doing Museum Objects in Late Eighteenth-Century Madrid.
Authors: Alberti Samuel J. M. M.
Published: August 2018

Carlos III of Spain was especially fond of pachyderms. In 1773 an elephant arrived in the port city of Cadiz, a gift from the ruler of the Carnatic region of India via the Governor-General of the Phillipines. After trekking 600 km it fascinated nobility and the masses alike in Madrid, then lived out its days in the royal menagerie at Aranjuez. But elephants often have afterlives as interesting and varied as their lives, and this one was no exception. Upon its demise in 1777, Juan Bru, the dissector at the Royal Cabinet of Natural History, hurried the 50 km to Aranjuez to preserve and prepare the specimen, and to secure it for his master, Pedro Franco Dávila. The King wanted an elephant to display, and Dávila wanted a specimen for the cabinet. Accordingly, Bru spent over a week defleshing his mammoth charge, cooking the bones, drawing everything as he went along.

New ways into the Sami language
Authors: Kuoljok Kajsa
Published: August 2018

The Sami language is the carrier of our Sami heritage, and could itself act as a key that opens the door to our wider understanding of it. During the period 2012–14, Ájtte Museum in Jokkmokk, Sweden, worked on the language project Giela muitalusat / Giela giehto. The Sami Language – Three Generations Tell, with the aim of collecting the different generations’ thoughts and ideas about the Sami language. Sami cultural heritage is not only about traditions of the past; it is also contemporary and urban. Many young Sami alternate between joining in with traditional Sami activities and being part of modern society. Ájtte Museum has aimed to set the focus on young Sami people, through various projects, and to try to identify issues that are relevant to the younger generation. The general image of Sami culture and life as reflected in museums today must be extended, so that more people will recognise that they themselves are an integral part of it. In the project, using film and still photography, young people documented and presented their everyday life and thoughts on how the use of the Sami language and Sami culture could be developed in the local community today.
Museet i landskapet och landskapet i museet. En studie av relationer mellan arkitektur, maritimt museum och omgivande miljö
Authors: Bünz Annika
Published: August 2018

This article studies the relationship between architecture, the museum, the surrounding environment, and narrative, using the example of the M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark (M/S Museet for Søfart). The museum is built underground, and it surrounds and traverses a dry dock. The conclusions are that the architecture creates an impression of being outside reality in a place where the laws of nature are abolished. Oblique angles and twisted shapes disturb one’s sense of balance and de-stabilize the full-body experience. Borders between reality and narrative, past and present are blurred. The museum architecture works as an unstraightening device, making the experience queer. Texts in the exhibits refer to a sailor as someone who is neither among the living nor the dead, and he is referred to as an icon for both hetero- and homosexual people. The narrative created in this M/S museum is a narrative about a queer sailor and a world outside reality.
Overgrep på museum. Musealisering av personlige beretninger om tvang og overgrep
Authors: Hamran Olav , Lange Ellen
Published: August 2018

In a 2008 project about children suffering from tuberculosis in the 1950s, the Norwegian Museum of Science, Technology, Industry and Medicine was struggling with the question of how to display personal stories of coercion and abuse. This article investigates how such memories from childhood were made into “artefacts” that could be exhibited in the museum and published in a catalogue. How were these objects constructed at the museum, in the media and by the museum visitors, and how were they understood? Were the main points of interest what happened then – the historical facts or phenomena – or what happened now, in the form of the storytellers telling their story today? The article focuses on discussions and negotiations between the curators and other employees at the museum, “the sanatorium children” and the media during the production process and after. How did the museum act and change while working with such controversial issues?
En middelalderdronning og en tysk bunkersoldat. Om myte, sandhed og narrative substanser i museumsudstillinger
Authors: Nielsen Mikkel Kirkedahl , Ringskou Christian
Published: August 2018

This article breaks with a traditional truth–lie dichotomy in an attempt to remove the phenomena of the myth from the lie. The authors relate parts of the postmodern discussion of the role of history and Ankersmit’s narrative substances to empirical material in the form of two recent exhibitions challenging myths – about a Danish medieval queen and a German Nazi soldier in a fortified bunker in Denmark, respectively. This unfolds perspectives about how museums add to myth as well as putting myths into perspective, which in turn points to the role of the museum as a place where narratives are constructed through selective processes every day. From an identity perspective, this shifts interest from a positivist-influenced approach to whether stories told by museums can be said to be true or false to a question of producing exhibitions to which visitors can relate and usefully discuss.

Tidsskriftet Museologica Brunensia Magazine nr. 1. 2012
Authors: Larsen Ane Hejlskov
Published: August 2018

Museologi eller museumsstudier har internationalt fra 1970’- og 80’erne udviklet sig fra at være praktiske kurser af museumsprofessionelle for museumsansatte til akademiske universitetskurser i 2000-tallet med teori og krav om nytænkning af museumspraksis. Ethvert universitet med respekt for sig selv har i dag et mindre eller større udbud af museologiske uddannelsestilbud, og mange har endda også fået en professor i museologi. Det er derfor ikke underligt, at universitetsakademikere er blevet de ledende teoretikere indenfor museologi og stiller kritiske spørgsmål til museet som samfundsinstitution og dens funktioner. Tilsvarende er de mere medlemsprægede museumstidsskrifter blevet overhalet af tidsskrifter som fx canadiske Museum Management and Curatorship eller engelske Museum and Society og ikke at forglemme Nordisk Museologi, hvor universitetslektorer- og professorer dominerer i antal i forhold museumsansatte i redaktionsgruppen. Men det er ikke kun i USA, Canada, Storbritannien, Australien samt de nordiske lande og Vesteuropa i øvrigt, at museologien har udviklet sig op igennem 1900-tallet.

What are museums for? - Revisiting “Museums in a Troubled World”
Authors: Søndergaard Morten Karnøe , Janes Robert R.
Published: August 2018

Focusing on the present situation in the Nordic museum scene, entailing economic pressures and restructuring, this article introduces the thoughts and ideas of Canadian museum expert and author, Robert R. Janes, to put things in perspective. After revisiting the 2009 book “Museums in a Troubled World”, authored by Janes, a discussion between the authors is presented which focuses on the complexities of collaboration between museums and business. Finally a “hands on” section is included, in which different types of possible collaborations are examined. In this section, the topic of value creation is also addressed, as it is pointed out which measures might be necessary to rebuild a position of relevancy in society for the Nordic museums.
Skjulte forbindelser? Om forholdet mellem private og offentlige kunstsamlinger
Authors: Christensen Hans Dam
Published: August 2018

The intention of this article is to open a debate on the too familiar dichotomy between private and public art collections. In historical and social contexts, the values as well as meanings of “private” and “public” interchange. Against this backdrop, it is tempting to question the common thinking regarding private and public collections, foremost in a Danish context. To mention just a few, more or less hidden relations: Public collections are more often than not founded on private donations and collections, and existing private collections can be open to the public as well as regulated by public legislation. In addition, private collectors can obtain a very high degree of visibility in the public sphere, they can exhibit their collections, and they can occupy important positions in the art world. Private and public collectors share common interests in visiting art fairs, knowing about upcoming galleries and artists etc., and public collectors can have their own private collections as well. In fact, we have very little research based knowledge of these liaisons.
Samene – et folk uten forhistorie? En analyse av samiske museers utstillinger med vekt på hvordan samisk forhistorie presenteres i utstillingene.
Authors: Mathisen Silje Opdahl
Published: August 2018

This Ph.D. project is connected to the Patterns of Cultural Valuation research project, which seeks to investigate how different ethnic groups and minorities have been presented and represented in Norwegian museums of cultural history during the last 150 years. I wish to analyze exhibitions at Sami museums in Norway, Sweden and Finland, with a special emphasis on how Sami prehistory is presented in these exhibitions. The starting point of my project is the research done on Sami archaeology within the last 25 years. I wish to investigate how, and to which extent, this research is being presented in the exhibitions. Exhibitions at Sami museums have been criticized for representing Sami culture as static and timeless, and in this way reproducing old-fashioned ethnographic stereotypes and doing a kind of “self orientalization”. Is it possible to avoid this within the confines of traditional ethnographic and historical-chronological representation? Sami museums are an arena where several potential problematic aspects with the museum institution in general are highlighted. Questions like Whose past? Whose land? Who has the right to represent and to be represented? are being asked. Historically, the Sami people have been presented as the exotic “other” in the national museums in Norway, Sweden and Finland. What happens when the Sami make their own exhibitions and represent themselves? And how have the national museums adapted to this new museum reality? To be able to study this, I have also included national museums with exhibitions of Sami culture and history in the analysis.
Interaction and Performativity in Digital Art Exhibitions
Authors: Harma Vuokko
Published: August 2018

There is a growing commitment within cultural institutions such as museums and galleries to develop exhibitions that attract the public to engage with art. Digital technological innovations play an important role in this regard, enabling visitors to experience artworks in new ways. Contemporary museums and galleries have become increasingly concerned with promoting public engagement through the consumption of interactive installations, as opposed to the traditional approach of housing static curiosities and authentic pieces. In this article, I will explore the visitors’ responses to the technologically mediated artworks and the new forms of interaction(s) that arise in exhibition areas. The changed forms of interaction are twofold: participation with artworks creates interaction with the exhibit as well as with fellow visitors and members of staff. These new forms of interactions are linked to the individuals’ performance and thereafter to their subjective experience of the art exhibition. This article approaches the museum visit from a sociological perspective in order to find out what exactly happens in interactive digital exhibitions. The analysis addresses the ways in which these different forms of interactions affect the experience of visiting a museum, as well as perceptions of the arts and culture.

Sally Thorhauge & Ane Hejlskov Larsen: Museumsgrundbogen. Kunsten at læse et museum
Authors: Pettersson Richard
Published: August 2018

Sally Thorhauges och Ane Hejlskov Larsens nya museianalytiska grundbok är ett ovanligt inslag i den generella bokfloran av teoretiskt tematiserande museologi. Detta rör sig nämligen om en grundbok för museianalys. Målgruppen är uppenbart grundkursstudenter i akademiska ämnen med anknytning till muse- et som arena för lärande och upplevelse. Målsättningen med boken är att ge läsaren verktyg för att analysera museet ur olika aspekter: det kan röra sig om museets profession och fysiska organisation; det kan röra sig om det mångfacetterade kulturarvsbegreppet; det kan handla om ”tingens ordning” – vad visas, egentligen, och varför? Bokens sju temaindelade kapitel följer en didaktisk case-metodik: först en översiktlig presentation av temat, vilket innefattar korta ingångar till centrala begrepp och teorier etc. Sedan följer ett antal frågeställningar och övningsuppgifter, vanligen utformade som gruppövningar.
’Miniaturemuseet’ - udstillingen som metakognitivt læringsrum
Authors: Christensen Line Hjorth
Published: August 2018

In university teaching contexts, exhibitions have largely been considered objects for historical or structural analysis. Using the exhibition as the subject for aesthetic practical teaching, the author argues for a reflexive, action-oriented didactic and describes a method developed in conjunction with a degree-level course in Exhibition Analysis conducted at the Department of Scandinavian Studies and Linguistics at the University of Copenhagen. The article raises the question of whether it is possible to in- itiate the metacognitive processes that new theories of learning emphasise as crucial for the benefits to be drawn from the teaching/learning process, by working with exhibi- tions in a dense, practice-based format.
Når arkeologi møter lokal kunnskap – etiske implikasjoner
Authors: Myrvoll Elin Rose
Published: August 2018

Archaeologists produce and communicate authorized stories concerning cultural heritage and the past. Their legitimacy is based on education, scientific methods and their connection with a research community. Their position as authorized producers of history is also emphasized by TV programmes presenting archaeologists as riddle-solving detectives. The main aim of this article is to focus on the dynamics between stories communicated by archaeologists and the stories pass- ed on and communicated by members of a local community, and to discuss these. What happens when stories based on tradition and lore meet authorized stories? The latter sometimes overwrite or erase local lore and knowledge connected to features in the landscape. Some archaeological projects have, however, involved local participants and locally based knowledge. In addition, one should be aware that local and traditional knowledge are sometimes kept and transmitted within a family, local community or ethnic group. Local knowledge is therefore not always a resource that is accessible for archaeologists.
Ingår den biologiska mångfalden i museernas kollektiva minne?
Authors: Strese Else-Marie Karlsson
Published: August 2018

Our old farm animal breeds and cultivated plants are products of human thought and action. Mankind and its domestic animals and plants live in a symbiotic relationship. Consequently, when dealing with agro biodiversity and conservation of plant and animal genetic resources, it is beneficial to involve knowledge derived from cultural history. Preserving and protecting biodiversity are important in many different ways – they provide working material for breeding and act as a buffer against changes in the environment, but also represent a part of our cultural history. For more than a hundred years, scientists and more recently politicians too, have discussed how to preserve biodiversity in the world. Domestic animals and plants are important parts of our heritage, hence the question: Can and should museums play a role in tackling this difficult task, and how?

I forrige nummer af Nordisk Museologi fokuserede flere af hovedartiklerne på museerne og kulturarvsstederne som erindringssteder, og på museernes medvirken til at skabe relationer mellem fortiden og nutiden for deres brugere. I de nordiske museologi- og museumsmiljøer er der med andre ord stigende interesse for at studere og udforske museerne og kulturarvsstederne som særlige erindringskulturer. Redaktionen besluttede sig derfor at koncentrere et dobbeltnummer om temaet erindringskultur og udstillingsæstetik. Halvdelen af dette dobbeltnummer kredser derfor om forskellige typer af erindringskulturer, fx postsocialistisk bearbejdning af kommunismen på østeuropæiske museer, historiske haver, landegrænser, der fungerer som kollektive erindringssteder, på erindringsbe- greber og erindringspolitik. Som det fremgår af Line Suhr Marsch- ners anmeldelse af Københavnerseminaret ”Erindring og glemsel” er erindringsbegrebet samtidig tæt forbundet med forestillingen om glemsel. På dette seminar redegjorde den kendte sociolog Paul Connerton for flere måder at ”glemme” på, som kan være nødvendig for dannelsen af nye identiteter. I dette perspektiv kan artikler- ne om Dybbøl også læses.
Undersøgende, hyggere, scannere og kultiverede. En undersøgelse af gæsters oplevelser og oplevelsesstrategier på Trapholt
Authors: Grøn Karen
Published: August 2018

This article is based on a survey conducted in conjunction with the Plastic Fantastic exhibition held at the Trapholt Museum of Modern Art, Applied Art, Design and Furniture Design near Kolding in Denmark during the winter of 2005/2006. The purpose of this survey was to study the links between the values expressed by visitors to the exhibition, the visitors’ patterns of behaviour, and statements made about how they experienced their visit. The survey combines quantitative and qualitative data to posit that there are four typical kinds of approaches – investigative, enjoying, scanning and “cultivated” – that museum visitors employ in order to make their visit a positive experience. When these behavioural strategies are compared with the learning strategy theory put forward by David Kolb (Wilk & Humphrey 2004, Illeris 2006), it is possible to perceive them as different component aspects in a complex flow of learning. The article concludes with a discussion of the relationship between “experience” and “learning”.
Cultural memory in the museum and its dialogue with collective and individual memory
Authors: Lang Merike
Published: August 2018

This article analyses the forms of cultural memory (storage and functio- nal memory) relying on the work of Aleida Assmann and the German cultural memory school (Assmann, 1999; 2004), and their changes in memory institutions in connection with the institution’s dialogue with individual and collective memory. Assmann’s theory is supplemented with museological communication schemes (Hooper-Grenhill, 1996) and a definition of the medium of collective memory (Erll, 2004). The aim of this article is to discuss the effect of functional memory in the context of the mediation work of a modern museum. The article will deal more thoroughly with the functionalizing process of cultural memory in the museum based on a specific pedagogical programme at the Estonian Open Air Museum.
Museumspolitik og generalkonferencen 2007
Authors: Ipsen Merete
Published: August 2018

Med blik på det museumspolitiske var gene- ralkonferencen 2007 væsentlig. Både med sit tema Museerne og Universel Kulturarv og med vedtagelse af den nye strategiske plan. ICOM har som verdensomspændende ngo-organisation vist sig levedygtig i mere end 60 år. Ser man bagud gennem årenes temaer og resolutioner fra generalkonferencerne, har vilje til forandring og nyorientering som hovedregel været på dagsordenen – om end man også kan få øje på, at ICOM har udviklet sig til at være en tung og noget træg organisation. Men åbenheden overfor at tænke nyt og lade sig udfordre af de forandringer, der sker i det omgivende samfund, overskygger heldigvis det tunge i den store organisation, som tæller 22.000 medlemmer fra 145 nationer. 10 % af medlemmerne deltog i konferencen, som var den talmæssigt største, der er holdt gennem årene.
Materialanalys av sydsvenskt bonadsmåleri –en kartläggning av Sydsvenska bonadsmålares materialanvändningen under 1700- och 1800-talet
Authors: Nyström-Larsson Ingalill
Published: August 2018

Bonadsmåleriet från Skåne, Blekinge, Småland, Halland och södra delen av Västergötland har kommit att sammanfattas under benämningen sydsvenskt bonadsmåleri. Det sydsvenska bonadsmåleriet är unikt i sitt uttryck. Tillsammans med annan folkkonst såsom exempelvis Dal- och Hälsingemåleriet är denna måleritradition en viktig del av det svenska kulturarvet. De målade bonaderna har sin tradition i det kyrkliga medeltida kalkmåleriet samt de medeltida bildvävnaderna. Sydsvenskt bonadsmåleri var allmogens konst och hade sin storhetsperiod under ca 100 år från mitten av 1700-talet fram till mitten av 1800-talet (Bringéus 1982). Bonadsmålningarna i Sydsverige användes endast temporärt, de hängdes endast upp vid högtidliga tillfällen såsom bröllop, dop och juletider. Bibliska motiv skildrar scener ur både det gamla och nya testamentet. Mer folkliga motiv visar på bröl- lopståg, hantverksscener och jaktmotiv. I Syd-sverige bodde allmogen vanligtvis i låga, timrade ryggåsstugor med ringa plats för väggdekorationer. Bonaderna anpassades därför efter kvarvarande väggyta och takåsarnas fält.

Kulturminnene fra GULag-arkipelet mellom glemsel og erindring – på leting etter Gulag-museene i dagens Russland
Authors: Maure Marc
Published: August 2018

Even though the terror régimes in Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia both resulted in many millions of victims, the commemorisation of these events are vastly different. There are plenty of memorials on the sites of German concentration camps, and new ones are continually added. In Russia, however, there are but few scattered memorials and only two Gulag sites – in Solovki and in Perm – with small museums that show conditions in the camps, while there are no national monuments nor a national museum on the subject. Almost all memorialisation projects, such as local collections and exhibitions, have been initiated by the Memorial Society or private individuals. Despite considerable difficulties, some projects are nevertheless being worked out, including the Gulag Museum in the Siberian city of Norilsk.
Opponentinlæg: Valtonen, Hannu - From Commonplace to Curiosity – The Museum Value of two Messerschmitt Bf 109 – Aircraft at the Central Finland Aviation Museum
Authors: Kesseli Pasi , Kostet Juhani
Published: August 2018

Staff officer Hannu Valtonen’s doctoral dissertation in museology ”Tavallisesta kuriositeetiksi – Kahden Keski-Suomen ilmailumuseon Messerschmitt Bf 109-lentokoneen museoarvo” (From Commonplace to Curiosity – The Museum Value of two Messerschmitt Bf 109 Aircraft of the Aviation Museum of Central Finland ) is based on three previously publis- hed works on Messerschmitt aircraft by the author: 1) Lapin lentokonehylyt. Yli 20 vuotta pohjoista lentokonearkeologiaa (Aircraft Wrecks of Lapland – Over 20 Years of Northern Aircraft Archaeology,1993), 2) Luftwaffen pohjoinen sivusta. Saksan ilmavoimat Suomessa ja Pohjois-Norjassa 1941–1944 (The Northern Flank of the Luftwaffe – German Air Force in Finland and Northern Norway in 1941 – 1944, from 1997) and 3) Messerschmitt Bf 109 ja Saksan sotatalous (The Messerschmitt Bf 109 and the War Economy in Germany, 1999). The dissertation is the first doctoral thesis in museology to be submitted in Finland, which must naturally be taken into account when evaluating Valtonen’s success in this venture and the scholarly significance of the study for museological research. The only comparisons are to be found in studies in ethnology and art history among other subjects, but there is no counterpart to Valtonen’s work in material culture studies .
Lennart Palmqvist: Utställingsrum
Authors: Smeds Kerstin
Published: August 2018

”Äntligen får vi en kursbok om utställnings- mediet” – tänkte jag då jag fick min kollegas Lennart Palmqvist bok i min hand. Och visst, boken handlar om utställningar och museer och är ett mycket välkommet bidrag till vår utställnings- och museihistoria på svenska. Författaren vill blottlägga de kulturella och kulturpolitiska ”kanon” som i olika tider styr utformningen av utställningsmediet. En kanon bestämmer ett begränsat antal etablerade sätt att iscensätta en utställning. ”Syftet”, säger han, ”är att lyfta fram några subjektivt valda exempel som påverkat andra utställningar i kanoniserande riktning och att påvisa relationen mellan rum och plats å ena sidan och relationen organiserad plats och ritualiserad iscen- sättning å den andra”. Men samtidigt lovar rubriken och syftet kanske aningen för mycket såtillvida att det inte egentligen handlar om det ”rumsliga” i utställningar, det är inte så mycket en teoretiskt förankrad analys av utställningsmediet, som en ren genomgång av utställningshistoria och utställningsprinciper, främst i äldre tid.

Nordisk Museologi er med dette nummer blevet til et officielt peer review tidsskrift, ifølge ønske fra vores hovedtilskudgiver NOP-HS. Det betyder, at indsendte artikler frem over bliver vurderet og kommenteret af eksterne bedømmere, primært fra nordiske, men med tiden også andre europæiske museologiske forskningsmiljøer. Redaktionen har i første omgang udvalgt de eksterne bedømmere efter forskningsmæssig relevans for de indsendte artikelemner – i stedet for en i forvejen udvalgt komité af eksterne bedømmere. Denne beslutning vil måske give åbenhed overfor museologiens grænser, men kan omvendt også bidrage til en højere grad af uklarhed om museologiens metodik og forholdet mellem teori og praksis, som berøres andre steder i dette nummer, bl.a. i Kalle Kallios og Tanja Välisalos kommentering af finske undersøgelser af forholdet mellem museal praksis og forskningsbaserede museologiuddannelser.
Samer på ville veger? Om ”levende utstillinger”, antropologi og vitenskapelige praksiser
Authors: Baglo Cathrine
Published: August 2018

During the 19th century, new practices emerge in the western represen- tation of cultural otherness. One of these – whose importance is often disregarded by Academia, was the practice of exhibition of living “natives” in zoological gardens, amusement parks and circuses. By seeing these exhibitions as ‘immutable mobiles’, I am trying to demonstrate how these became instrumental for the “success” of racial discourse, by contributing to moving facts around to make them take on an apparent universality.

Den 13. juni 2005 var Museumshøjskolen vært for en spændende række af museologiske forelæsninger på Nationalmuseet i København. Anledningen var Ole Strandgaards afgang som rektor for Museumshøjskolen i Sorø gennem mere end 15 år. Museologiske kollegaer fra Europa blev inviteret til at tale om museernes fremtidige funktioner og betydning i fremtiden ud fra 5 udvalgte samfundstendenser:●  oplevelsesøkononomien versus fordybelse og selvudvikling●  informationsteknologiens videreudvikling og digitalisering af kulturarven●  ændring i befolkningssammensætningen og konsekvenserne heraf for museerne●  sociale forhindringer og multikukturelle sammensætninger●  kompetenceudvikling for fremtidenI dette nummer bringer vi to af forelæsningerne: Den ene er af professor Tomislav Šola fra Zagreb i Kroatien, og den anden er af lektor Peter van Mensch fra Reinwardt Akademiet i Holland. Begge er kendte museologer, som også tidligere har bidraget til Nordisk Museologi.
Kulturarvspolitik och museiutställningar
Authors: Hansen Kjell
Published: August 2018

Syftet med denna artikel är att problematisera museernas roll som kunskapsförmedlare i en (sen-)modern värld och att diskutera hur museerna arbetar med att presentera och producera kulturarv. Museiproducenter agerar ofta inom en dekonstruerande diskurs, som ifrågasätter innebörden i kulturarven, medan museikonsumenterna snarare präglas av en kunskapsrealistisk inställning inför kulturhistoriska utställningar. Detta skapar problem i mötet mellan utställning och besökare.
Momenter til et forsvar av tingene
Authors: Olsen Bjørnar
Published: August 2018

Arkeologien er tingenes disiplin par excellence. Det var en gang da arkeologene elsket gjenstandene – noen vil kanskje til og med huske en viss besettelse. Men i takt med tingenes fallende intellektuelle kurs ble også arkeologenes kjærlighet satt på prøve. I denne artikkelen forsøker forfatteren å forklare hvorfor ting og materialitet fikk et så dårlig rykte i menneskevitenskapene – eller sagt på en annen måte: å forklare sviket mot tingene.

”Danmarkshistorier 1660–2000” – om baggrund, vilkår og reaktioner på Nationalmuseets nye permanente udstilling
Authors: Vasström Annette
Published: August 2018

Danmarkshistorier 1660–2000 som en sammenhængende fortælling om Danmark, landets befolkning, kultur(er) og historie har ingen fortilfælde i landet. Mange provinsmuseer (Roskilde Museum fx) har ført deres permanente udstillinger helt op til nutiden, men for Nationalmuseet har det været en helt ny opgave. Overvejelserne om en udstilling, der fører kulturhistorien op gennem de sidste 350 år og frem til i dag tog ganske vist sin begyndelse i forbindelse med Nationalmuseets ombygning i årene 1989–1992, men blev af forskellige årsager skrinlagt i nogle år. Først efter åbningen af særudstillingen Drømmen om det 20. århundrede i 1998 kom der atter gang i forberedelserne.

I svensk museipedagogisk debatt ersätter man numera begreppet ”permanenta utställningar” med ”basutställningar” för att betona vikten av att betrakta också presentationen av ett museums huvudsamlingar som en tidsbunden företeelse, som måste förändras, som inte får låsas genom en permanent arkitektonisk infattning.

Nidaros Domkirkes Restaureringsarbeider har siden 1869 drevet en kontinuerlig og nitidig restaureringsprosess av Nidarosdomen, nasjonalhelligdommen vår. I 1969, hundre år etter at arbeidet ble påbegynt, var selve gjenoppbyggingen av katedralen, som tidligere delvis lå i ruiner, fullført. Mange av figurene som i dag danner den omfattende utsmykkingen av katedralen ble under gjenreisningen gjenfunnet som fyllmateriale i forstøtningsmurer. Figurene ble kopiert ved hjelp av gipsavstøpninger, rekonstruert og hugget i stein. Ca 4000 avstøpninger ble gjort, slik at man kunne sette på plass originalene, samtidig som man hadde lagret en gipskopi som dokumentasjon. I 1983 brant Erkebispegården, og med den samtlige gipsavstøpninger. En mengde arbeid og uvurdelig dokumentasjon gikk tapt i flammene.
Kunskapsideal?
Authors: Johansson Tomas
Published: August 2018

En småruggig aprildag går jag på en gata i Venedig. Det är förmiddag, få människor är ute. Gränden är bara tre armslängder bred. Husen höga som granarna därhemma. Det är tyst, bilfritt, lite slitet, nyanser av gråbrunt och gråsvart. Detta är alltså det mångomtalade, pittoreska Venedig. Plötsligt får jag för mig att det är en fälla. Jag går på botten av en vallgrav. Husen är murarna. Allt är sten och cement. Stegen ekar när ljudet reflekteras mot de hårda grå väggarna. Ett hemskt stendjur räcker ut tungan åt mig från en stenvägg. När jag vän- der blicken rakt upp, ser jag himlen som ett smalt grått band mellan husen. Jag går vidare och sätter mig att fundera. En typisk felreaktion igen – en som man aldrig kan riktigt kan förklara för omgivningen. Venedig ska ju vara en romantisk stad. Här finns så mycket konstskatter. Man ska i månsken färdas på kanalen i gondol. Man ska imponeras av Marcuskyrkans och arkitekturens överdåd. Jag tänker vidare: är Venedig en bra stad om man vill ha ett intryck av hur de tidiga städer- na såg ut – där våra ideal för kunskap och kultur präglades? Erinrar mig välbevarade gamla städer som jag sett ute i Europa, också några arabiska medinor, försöker komma ihåg något om de gamla tell-byarna i Östern, hur var det med sumerernas stadsplaner och grekernas?
Collections passion – om samlares lidelse
Authors: Hainard Jaques
Published: August 2018

Att efter mindre än två år finna sig som museichef, till råga på allt ett för etnografiskt museum, innebär att en rad grundläggande frågor oundvikligen måste ställas av den som befinner sig i denna både spännande och riskabla situation. Museet, förvaringsplats och vårdare av etnografiska föremål, de äldsta från 1700-talet, hopsamlade av köpmän, resenärer, missionärer och forskare, inordnar sig antingen vi vill eller inte, i en subtil och sammansatt historia. Historien är materialiserad i mer och mindre specialiserade samlingar och vi har i museet funnit det angeläget att nu precisera vår utgångspunkt innan vi inleder vårt stora äveentyr vid 1900-talets slut. Den tidigare blomstrande verksamheten, vars framtid tycktes säkrad, den ovanliga mångsidigheten i samlingar, har fått oss att reflektera över motiven hos den del mänskligheten som ägnar sig åt att musealisera (muséographier) den andra delen. Relationen samling–institution har hittills först och främst handlat om att vårda och bevara.
Philipp Blom, To have and to hold. An Intimate History of Collectors and Collecting
Authors: Hjorth Line
Published: August 2018

Kan man tænke samlingen som sprog, og kan sproglige fremstillinger tage den form og karakter som fundamentalt er samlingens: ophob- ningen, sammenstillingen, systemet, repræsentationens og erindringens form? Ifølge Philipp Bloms To have and to hold – An intimate History of Collectors and Collections er begge dele muligt, hvilket bogen på eksemplarisk vis bekræfter. Disponeret i fire tematiske afsnit, der med få undtagelser bevæger sig fremad kronologisk, præsenteres vi således for nogle af de mest kendte og mærkværdigste samlinger og samlere fra renæssancen frem til i dag.
Symbolernas arkeologi: Teman i en studie kring Hannes Alfvén
Authors: Lindqvist Svante
Published: August 2018

The Archæology of Symbols Symbols are created, manifested and ultimately disappear. This essay discusses how symbols are created, but also how they are rejected, destroyed or just simply fade away. The artefacts we preserve in the belief that they were important symbols in their own time had perhaps already lost their symbolic importance. This interest in symbols is a common theme in a study of the Swedish Nobel Laureate Hannes Alfvén and in scientific research in post-WW2 Sweden on which I have been working for a long time. Some examples of symbols for various beliefs concerning science and technology are given in this essay, and two examples are discussed in more detail. The first is a large ceiling painting in one of the lecture halls of the engineering college in Stockholm, the Royal Institute of Technology. It was executed by Axel Törneman (1880–1925) in 1917. The painting ”disappeared” in the late 1950s and was rediscovered in 1993. The second example is a sculpture by Ebba Ahlmark-Hughes, erected in 1990, also at the Royal Institute of Technology. The essay tries to demonstrate how relatively difficult it is for the historian to reconstruct the processes by which symbols are created or destroyed. This is nevertheless important, particularly the latter question. If we can determine the values a symbol signified when it was created, then its silent disappearence will tell us that these values were no longer shared by its surrounding.Tostudythedisappearnceofsymbolsmay thus also be of relevance in recreating the past.
