New Museology: The Kicks Out of One Yet Innovative Approach
Abstract
The New Museology is a movement of a wide theoretical and methodological range, whose position is still crucial for the effective renovation of all the museums of the 21st century. Today, the clarity of the term seems weak, and more so because of the proliferation of other designations: critical museology, postmodern museology, sociomuseology… The word “ecomuseum” was created by H. de Varine-Bohan to translate a set of new ideas developed by G. H. Rivière. New Museology gains one of its keywords, but it is very limitative to identify the movement of New Museology exclusively with the dynamics of the ecomuseum. In this article I intend to clarify the most important strands of the New Museology, claiming that there is no need to make up a new designation. We shall keep with “New Museology”, since its guidelines support either the renovation begun in the 1960s, or the yet much craved renovation of the 21st century museum. Keywords: New Museology. Cultural democratization. Critical representational. Exhibition. Subtext.Downloads
