Dynamics in the Field of Museums: Contemporary Challenges for Polish Museologists
2018
The aim of this text is to present and analyze the attitudes of Polish museologists towards the changes currently taking place in the field of museums. More specifically, it will focus on their opinions regarding the evolution of museums—from the traditional model, based on symbolic violence, to the contemporary model, which accents the subjectivity of the audience. Its conclusions, based on analyses of 26 qualitative interviews with employees of Polish museums, are as follows: the organizational changes taking place in Polish museums do not relieve museologists from bureaucratic work; the collections in museums distinguish them from other institutions of culture; there is a struggle …

Zoological Checklists: From Natural History Museums to Ecosystems
2023
Backwards and forwards at once, the zoological checklists bring the past into the present and draw a direction towards the future. They cover historical and current information providing open data for environmental issues. The present-day research framework aims to produce papers reporting lists of animal species, after a couple of decades of absolute refusal of such inventories, years where the prevalence of studies has been focused on ecological or molecular statistics. Now, the contemporary era is moving towards the gathering of organized data, shared on web platforms, and cross-linked in a sort of global metadata outcome. It means that a single record of the occurrence of a species can …
Translating migration: digital narratives, (anti) museums in action and documentaries
2016
This article investigates the modalities through which the migrant crisis is portrayed in the creative artistic sector that, in turn, has accelerated the spread of political participatory and activist movements in the areas of subtitling and amateur translation. This innovative trend involving the sphere of translation has been acting as an important stimulus for the international mushrooming of artistic creativities on public spaces and digital platforms, but also for the formation of new views on translation and interpretation as actively contributing to the reframing of the political aspects of the migrant crisis. Such a counter wave of artistic productions has emerged within a Europe th…

The blog as a communication tool : an analysis of Finnish museums' blogs
2016
Bloggaaminen on ollut tasaisesti nousussa oleva trendi sosiaalisessa mediassa 1990-luvun lopulta alkaen. Sosiaalisesta mediasta löytyy monenlaisia blogeja eri aiheista ja eri aloilta. Uusi järjestöjen blogilaji ilmestyi 2000-luvun alussa, nimittäin museoblogi. Museoiden läsnäolo sosiaalisessa mediassa on kasvanut merkittävästi viime vuosikymmeninä, ja samalla museot muuttuivat enemmän yleisösuuntautuneiksi ja avoimiksi uusille viestintämahdollisuuksille. Bloggaaminen on uusi tapa lisätä museoiden läsnäoloa sosiaalisessa mediassa, kommunikoida ja olla vuorovaikutuksessa kävijöiden kanssa sekä markkinoida palvelujaan. Tämä tutkimus analysoi neljäkymmentäkuusi suomalaista museoblogia korostama…
