In Learning at the Museum Frontiers, Viv Golding argues that the
museum has the potential to function as a frontier - a zone where
learning is created, new identities are forged and new connections
made between disparate groups and their own histories. She draws on
a range of theoretical perspectives including Gadamer's
philosophical hermeneutics, Foucauldian discourse on space and
power, and postcolonial and Black feminist theory, as well as her
own professional experience in museum education over a ten-year
period, applying these ideas to a wide range of museum contexts.
The book offers an important theoretical and empirical contribution
to the debate on the value of museums and what they can contribute
to society. The author reveals the radical potential for museums to
tackle injustice and social exclusion, challenge racism, enhance
knowledge and promote truth.
