Post-Critical Museology considers what the role of the public
and the experience of audiences means to the everyday work of the
art museum. It does this from the perspectives of the art museum
itself as well as from the visitors it seeks. Through the analysis
of material gathered from a major collaborative research project
carried out at Tate Britain in London the book develops a
conceptual reconfiguration of the relationship between art, culture
and society in which questions about the art museum s relationship
to global migration and the new media ecologies are examined. It
suggests that whilst European museums have previously been studied
as institutions of collection, heritage and tradition, however
modern their focus, it is now better to consider them as
distributive networks in which value travels along transmedial and
transcultural lines.
Post-Critical Museology is intended as a contribution to
progressive museological thinking and practice and calls for a new
alignment of academics and professionals in what it announces as
post-critical museology. An alignment that is committed to
rethinking what an art museum in the twenty-first century could be,
as well as what knowledge and understanding its future
practitioners might draw upon in a rapidly changing social and
cultural context. The book aims to be essential reading in the
growing field of museum studies. It will also be of professional
interest to all those working in the cultural sphere, including
museum professionals, policy makers and art managers.
