Methods of Exhibition Analysis (Paperback)

Paperback. Exhibitions, as constructed cultural dispositions, media of showing, and processes of social interaction, hold great interest for cultural analysis. Being able to analyze exhibitions is a skill that allows us to critically examine exhibitions as public places regarding their effects and uses, and to change them as a result. The contributions to this volume present nineteen methods of exhibition analysis from the perspective of cultural analysis, perception studies and practice-oriented work. They locate these methods in the context of their respective discourses and present them in step-by-step guidelines for hands-on application, thus providing the first compilation on exhibition analysis for research, teaching and museum practice. A tool kit for exhibition analysis packed with a diversity of methods to critically examine exhibitions from various angles. This item is printed on demand.
