Organizational Memory and Knowledge Transfer in Agri-Food Organization: the Corporate Museum Way
2021
Corporate museums represent an unexplored phenomenon under various aspects. In fact, numerous studies on corporate museum focus on marketing aspects.

From the perspective of organizational theory, the study analyzes the phenomenon of the corporate museum as a mechanism for knowledge transfer and organizational memory. To achieve this goal, this work uses a descriptive qualitative methodology, based on the analysis of a public dataset. The corporate museums in…

RISO, museo d'arte contemporanea della Sicilia
2009
C’è in Riso, Museo d’Arte Contemporanea della Sicilia, una volontà di radicarsi nel territorio che emerge già nel disegno del piccolo logotipo che connota il museo palermitano inaugurato nel 2008. La prima lettera è una R corposa e densa di inchiostro, generata dalla rotazione di una Trinacria che ha perso ogni tratto espressionista, per ridiventare un potente segno grafico che richiama alla memoria elementi dell’architettura classica che tanti esempi ha disseminato sull’isola. Le altre tre lettere sottomesse formalmente alla prima la seguono dichiarando attraverso il disegno stencil, la propria natura di elementi temporanei e leggeri, che in molte declinazioni si annullano per lasciare la …
Categories and boundaries in Sámi exhibitions
2019
This article examines the construction of ethnicity in the permanent exhibitions of two Sami museums: Siida, the National Museum of the Finnish Sami and a Nature Centre of Metsahallitus, and ajtte, the Swedish Mountain and Sami Museum. The aim of the article is to find out how ethnic categories and boundaries are created by the exhibitions, and how the museum presentations relate to contemporary public discussions about Sami ethnicity. The presentations are analysed within the framework of discourse analysis. The findings suggest that the two museums, with a few possible exceptions, tend to produce a clear and stable ethnic boundary between the Sami and other ethnicities. Like the Sami ethn…

2020
The collaborative action research project presented analysed the potential of museum education to radically transform the way in which English was taught and learnt in three diverse elementary, middle, and high-school contexts in the province of València (Spain).

To assess the impact of the project, a variety of qualitative strategies we…

“Narrative Museums” and Curators’ Rights: The Protection of a Museum Exhibition and Its Scenario under Polish Law
2020
Since at least the 1990s, museums have expanded to cover a variety of societal functions, often enabling inclusive and participatory spaces for critical dialogue about the past and the future, and bridging together various narratives and cultural experiences, contributing to social cohesion and reconciliation. The new functions of museums, involving novel technological forms of display and communication, pose several legal questions concerning the management of such institutions, their resources, and exhibitions, including issues of copyright and other intellectual property rights. While referring to a recent case concerning an alleged infringement of the moral rights of the authors of the …
