Teacher training for Primary School defending diversity and inclusion. Memory of a case of teaching experience through Museari
2020
Entre las posibilidades de la educación artística conviene destacar las cuestiones de reivindicación social, especialmente la lucha por la equidad y el respeto hacia las minorías. Dentro de esta corriente socializadora se enmarcan los avances en materia de género y diversidad. La lucha por los derechos humanos se convierte así en un lugar común desde el cual implementar políticas culturales e innovaciones educativas. Estamos trabajando en esta línea desde hace tres décadas, conscientes de la necesidad de implicarnos en los avances que promueven la convivencia y el equilibrio social. Hace cinco años creamos el museo online Museari para desarrollar proyectos y mejorar la situación de los cole…
Museums which pay attention to education for sustainability
2006
En el presente trabajo analizamos el contenido de dos importantes museos franceses que han empezado a incorporar de forma clara y extensa, no meramente incidental, la atención a la actual situación de emergencia planetaria. Se trata de dos ejemplos notables de superación todavía parcial de la orientación tradicional de los museos como meros exponentes propagandísticos de los logros científicos y de respuesta positiva a los llamamientos de Naciones Unidas para que todos los educadores contribuyamos a favorecer la participación ciudadana en la toma de decisiones fundamentadas, generando actitudes y comportamientos orientados a la consecución de un futuro sostenible. This paper analyzes the co…
DALLA PERIEGESI DI PAUSANIA ALLA MODERNA MUSEOGRAFIA SITE-MUSEUMS IN GRECIA
2011
La ricerca si interroga sul perché per i moderni allestitori, che si relazionano con le vestigia classiche greche, la Periegesi costituisca un richiamo ineludibile, che scatta, quasi in automatico, ogniqualvolta c’è da pensare a un’esposizione museale che abbia come oggetto le res antiquae. In effetti Pausania, vero πεπαιδευμένος, uomo colto del proprio tempo, che ha guidato intere generazioni di viaggiatori, archeologi, classicisti, storici, geografi e letterati, è stato da noi individuato come colui il quale gioca un ruolo determinante nelle scelte culturali di museologi e museografi per gli allestimenti dei site-museum in Grecia. La tesi ha rintracciato, negli allestimenti dei casi-studi…
Exploring museum marketing performance: a case study from Italy
2010
The public funding of museums should be linked to performance results in order to reward institutions that are more efficient. Performance measurement tools rely heavily on figures based on visitors numbers and tickets sold. In this paper an indicator is proposed, called PMMP (Performance of Museum as a Marketing Product) consisting of 4 dimensions derived from the four P’s of marketing. The tool is applied to two art and archaeology museums, one private and one public used as case studies in this exploratory phase. Publicly managed facilities could be proving inefficient in performing high levels of marketing performance, thus reducing visitors numbers. The subsequent revenues decrease mak…
Language: A Challenging Resource in a Museum of Sámi Culture
2015
Choices made around using language in museums can either reinforce or challenge existing common sense language regimes and cultural hegemonies. The issues around linguistic choices are particularly pronounced for a museum of indigenous culture in a multilingual minority language community. Using the case of the Siida, the National Museum of the Finnish Sami, located in Inari, in Finnish Samiland, we explore some of the issues involved in using language in the museum. Based on a linguistic landscape analysis, we identify three main functions of language in the museum: managing and controlling visitors; narrating and explaining content and being displayed as content/exhibit. We discuss these …

Particolare attenzione viene riservata all’architettura, come le chiese medievali e rinascimentali di Castelbuono, Gratteri e Isnello o quelle barocche e rococò d…
The Platani River: a possible ecomuseum
2017
The territorial system of Platani has been studied, for the establishment of an eco-museum, in the undergraduate laboratory AmbienteNaturaArchitettura (Degree course in Building Engineering - Architecture, University of Palermo) producing about 20 thesis that led to as many projects, aimed at eco-sustainable valorization. The lab’s topics have resulted in conferences and good practices, including a journey (done on foot in four days by professors, experts and students), from the sources to the river mouth, which allowed us to catch continuously the landscape variations, to dwell in the emblematic points, to meet the community and administrators to engage and discuss with them about the valo…
Oradour-sur-Glane and the Memorial Museum: A Site of Reconciliation
2013
When a community has a suffering memory, within the memory-oblivion mechanisms characterizing every form of social stability, the interventions of musealization of a specific landscape can usefully contribute to the “trauma elaboration” process, being the only helpful expedients to turn the painful events that the community is not able to cope with into a “shared commemoration”. However, based on the experience from the Charles de Gaulle Memorial in Colombey, the museal interpretation can determine a touristic earning power which can often overwhelm the more expected “duty of memory”. Every new museal insertion, being a place fit for the building of the community mind, has in fact to fulfil…
QRouteMe: A Multichannel Information System to Ensure Rich User-Experience in Exhibits and Museums
2012
In this article the QRouteMe system is presented. QRouteMe is a multichannel information system built to ensure rich user experiences in exhibits and museums. The system starts from basic information about a particular exhibit or museum while delivering a wide user experience based on different distribution channels. The organization of the systems’ components allow to build different solutions that can be simultaneously delivered on different media. A wide range of media from touch-screen installations to portable devices like smartphones have been used. The used devices can communicate each others to increase the usability and the user experience for the visitors. Another important featur…
