L’Archivio S.A.C.S. del Museo Riso di Palermo. Valorizzazione dello Sportello per l’Arte Contemporanea della Sicilia
2021
L’archivio d’arte contemporanea è un dispositivo culturale attivo volto a selezionare, catalogare, divulgare, esporre e promuovere la creatività artistica in divenire. Queste pratiche di salvaguardia e valorizzazione dei beni artistici sono attività necessarie per la gestione e l’elaborazione del patrimonio culturale, come anche per l’interpretazione del presente. La ricerca sul S.A.C.S., lo Sportello per l’Arte Contemporanea della Sicilia del Museo Riso di Palermo, nasce per valorizzare, attraverso l’approccio integrato della museologia e della fenomenologia dell’arte contemporanea, un giovane Archivio d’arte dedicato ai nuovi creativi siciliani.

Revealing Hidden Histories with Modern Technology : Archaeological Information Systems and Geolocalization
2016
It has been long since it was enough for museums to be simply repositories of objects and hubs of research and knowledge. Public education and sharing of knowledge has always been part of museum ideology but today many museums are striving to engage and enthral their audiences in a world filled with pastime entertainment. Nonetheless, this challenge is not novel but one of the fundamental questions of museum pedagogy: How to present past and distant cultures as lived histories, as lives lived in places and environments now either empty or over taken by new inhabitants and their way of life? How to present the world stored inside the museum as interconnected with the living, changing everyda…

Experience consumption: an empirical research in historical house museums
2017
En los últimos años hemos presenciado un rápido incremento del denominado turismo cultural, un tipo de turismo que promueve la herencia de un pasado particularmente significativo para un país. Este tipo de actividad, practicada inicialmente por unas pocas personas se ha convertido en el denominado turismo de masas (Leighton, 2007). Esto sucede porque un número cada vez mayor de personas busca una experiencia única y auténtica como la que puede vivirse al visitar sitios culturales. Algunos autores han subrayado el hecho de que generalmente la búsqueda del pasado a través de los sitios culturales está vinculada a un sentimiento nostálgico común y penetrante hacia épocas pasadas (Goulding, 200…

Etnisyyden rakentuminen kahden saamelaismuseon perusnäyttelyissä
2015
This study examines the construction of ethnicity in the permanent exhibitions of two museums: Siida, the National Museum of the Finnish Sámi and the Nature Centre of Metsähallitus, and Ájtte, the Swedish Mountain and Sámi Museum. The study is motivated by three research questions: What kind of ethnic categories and boundaries do the exhibitions create? How is Sámi ethnicity defined by displaying cultural features? How do the exhibitions depict relationships between the Sámi and other ethnicities, governmental power, the ‘Sámi area’, and nature? The exhibitions are examined in the context of the contemporary public discussion about Sámi ethnicity; the study aims to explain how the two museu…
Alltagsmagie und Hexenverfolgungen in Geschichte, Kunst und Ideengeschichte. Rückblicke und Reflexionen einer kuratierenden Museumsleiterin
2020
Trudnym wyzwaniem jest przygotowanie wystawy tak złożonego, interdyscyplinarnego tematu kulturoznawczego, jakim jest polowanie na czarownice/czarowników, jego historycznej rzeczywistości i związanych z nim kwestii ideologizacji i mitologizacji. Ucichły już wprawdzie kontrowersje wokół interpretacji polowania na czarownice/czarowników, które w latach siedemdziesiątych i osiemdziesiątych XX w. były przedmiotem ostrego sporu między inicjatywami kobiecymi a ówczesnymi badaczami problematyki, którymi wówczas byli prawie wyłącznie mężczyźni. Spór ten doprowadził do słusznego przesunięcia uwagi z obrazu ofiary, głównie kobiety, na szerszy kontekst społeczny, polityczny i prawny zagadnienia. Nadal …
