Resumen de Museum Making: Pensando el quehacer museográfico
- español
Museum Making: Narratives, Architectures, Exhibitions, publicado por Routledge en febrero del 2012, es una contribución importante en el creciente corpus de títulos que conforman la serie Museum Meanings. Los editores de este volumen, Suzanne MacLeod, Laura Hourston Hanks y Jonathan Hale, docentes de las universidades de Leicester —la primera— y de Nottingham —los segundos—, Reino Unido, reflejan en su contenido tanto sus áreas de investigación académica como la riqueza y la diversidad de la museología como campo intelectual interdisciplinario. El tema central del libro, denominado “ambientes narrativos” (narrative environments), sirve para abordar experiencias museológicas que integran objetos, espacios, historias y personas en un proceso narrativo que enfatiza el carácter, el potencial y la conexión de los museos con la percepción, la imaginación y la memoria, temas que esta RESEÑA analiza críticamente.

Museum Making: Narratives, Architectures, Exhibitions, published by Routledge in February 2012, is an important contribution to the increasingly growing Museum Meanings series. The editors of this volume, Suzanne MacLeod —scholar from the University of Leicester—, Laura Hourston Hanks, and Jonathan Hale —of the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom— present both their research interests as well as the richness and diversity of the museum studies as an interdisciplinary academic field. The central theme: the notion of narrative environments, serves to address museological experiences which integrate objects, spaces, stories, and people as part of a processof storytelling that emphasizes the nature, the potential, and the connection that museums have with human perception, imagination, and memory, topics that undergo critical review in this contribution.
