Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions Display Identity and Narrative

Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions Display Identity and Narrative

Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions offers an in-depth analysis of the multiple roles that exhibition graphics perform in contemporary museums and exhibitions. Drawing on a study of exhibitions that took place at the Victoria and Albert Museum London the Museum of London and the Haus der Geschichte Bonn Piehl brings together approaches from museum studies design practice and narrative theory to examine museum exhibitions as multimodal narratives in which graphics account for one set of narrative resources. The analysis underlines the importance of aspects such as accessibility and at the same time problematises conceptualisations that focus only on the effectiveness of graphics as display device by drawing attention to the contributions that graphics make towards the content on display and to the ways in which it is experienced in the museum space. Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions argues for a critical reading of and engagement with exhibition graphic design as part of wider debates around meaning-making in museum studies and exhibition-making practice. As such the book should be essential reading for academics researchers and students from the fields of museum and design studies. Practitioners such as exhibition designers graphic designers curators and other exhibition makers should also find much to interest them in the book. | Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions Display Identity and Narrative

Museums of Language and the Display of Intangible Cultural Heritage

Museums of Language and the Display of Intangible Cultural Heritage presents essays by practitioners based in language museums around the world. Describing their history mission and modes of display contributors demonstrate the important role intangible heritage can and should play in the museum.

Including case studies from across Europe North America Africa and Asia this book documents the vital work being done by museums to help preserve languages and make them objects of broad public interest. Divided into three sections contributions to the book focus on one of three types of museums: museums of individual languages museums of language groups – both geographic and structural – and museums of writing. The volume presents practical information alongside theoretical discussions and state-of-the-art commentaries concerning the representation of languages and their cultural nature.

All the Queen’s Jewels 1445–1548 Power Majesty and Display

All the Queen’s Jewels 1445–1548 Power Majesty and Display

From Margaret of Anjou to Katherine Parr All the Queen’s Jewels examines the jewellery collections of the ten queen consorts of England between 1445–1548 and investigates the collections of jewels a queen had access to as well as the varying contexts in which queens used and wore jewels. The jewellery worn by queens reflected both their gender and their status as the first lady of the realm. Jewels were more than decorative adornments; they were an explicit display of wealth majesty and authority. They were often given to queens by those who wished to seek her favour or influence and were also associated with key moments in their lifecycle. These included courtship and marriage successfully negotiating childbirth (and thus providing dynastic continuity) and their elevation to queenly status or coronation. This book explores the way that queens acquired jewels whether via their predecessor their own commission or through gift giving. It underscores that jewels were a vital tool that enabled queens to shape their identities as consort and to fashion images of power that could be seen by their households court and contemporaries. This book is perfect for anyone interested in medieval and Tudor history queenship jewellery and the history of material culture. | All the Queen’s Jewels 1445–1548 Power Majesty and Display

Exhibiting Outside the Academy Salon and Biennial 1775-1999 Alternative Venues for Display

Exhibiting Outside the Academy Salon and Biennial 1775-1999 Alternative Venues for Display

In recent years there has been increasing scholarly interest in the history of museums academies and major exhibitions. There has been however little to no sustained interest in the histories of alternative exhibitions (single artwork solo artist artist-mounted entrepreneurial privately funded ephemeral etc. ) with the notable exception of those publications that deal with situations involving major artists or those who would become so - for example J. L. David’s exhibition of Intervention of the Sabine Women (1799) and The First Impressionist Exhibition of 1874 - despite the fact that these sorts of exhibitions and critical scholarship about them have become commonplace (and no less important) in the contemporary art world. The present volume uses and contextualizes eleven case studies to advance some overarching themes and commonalities among alternative exhibitions in the long modern period from the late-eighteenth to the late-twentieth centuries and beyond. These include the issue of control in the interrelation and elision of the roles of artist and curator and the relationship of such alternative exhibitions to the dominant modes structures of display and cultural ideology. | Exhibiting Outside the Academy Salon and Biennial 1775-1999 Alternative Venues for Display

The Borghese Collections and the Display of Art in the Age of the Grand Tour

The Borghese Collections and the Display of Art in the Age of the Grand Tour

The redecoration of the exhibition spaces at the Borghese palace and villa undertaken together with the reinstallation of the family's vast art collections was one of the most important events in the cultural life of eighteenth-century Rome. In this comprehensive study Carole Paul reconstructs the planning and execution of the project and explains its multifaceted significance: its place in the history of Italian art architecture and interior design at a complex moment of transition from baroque to neoclassical style as well as its unrecognized but profound influence on the development of the modern art museum. The study shows how the installations and decorations worked together to evoke traditional themes in innovative ways. Addressed primarily to a new audience of tourists from abroad the thematic content of the spaces celebrated the greatness of the Borghese family and of Roman tradition while their stylistic diversity and sophistication made a case for the continued vitality - even modernity - of Roman art and culture. Designed for the exercise of a highly refined social performance these sites helped to model the experience of art as a form of enlightened modern civility. | The Borghese Collections and the Display of Art in the Age of the Grand Tour

Museum Representations of Maoist China From Cultural Revolution to Commie Kitsch

Museum Representations of Maoist China From Cultural Revolution to Commie Kitsch

The collection interpretation and display of art from the People’s Republic of China and particularly the art of the Cultural Revolution have been problematic for museums. These objects challenge our perception of ’Chineseness’ and their style content and the means of their production question accepted notions of how we perceive art. This book links art history museology and visual culture studies to examine how museums have attempted to reveal discuss and resolve some of these issues. Amy Jane Barnes addresses a series of related issues associated with collection and display: how museums deal with difficult and controversial subjects; the role they play in mediating between the object and the audience; the role of the Other in the creation of Self and national identities; the nature role and function of art in society; the museum as image-maker; the impact of communism (and Maoism) on the cultural history of the twentieth-century; and the appropriation of communist visual iconography.

The Measurement and Development of Empathy in Nursing

The Measurement and Development of Empathy in Nursing

This title was first published in 2000: Empathy is known to be crucial to helping relationships but professional helpers including nurses do not normally display much empathy as it has not been measured in clients' terms and accordingly taught. This text examines a study in which a client-centred empathy scale was developed - the client-centred measure of empathy was found to be reliable and valid and a course designed to teach nurses to offer empathy in clients' terms was effective. The findings of the study have implications for the future design of nurse eduction and the goals of the health service. | The Measurement and Development of Empathy in Nursing

Academic Life in the Measured University Pleasures Paradoxes and Politics

Academic Life in the Measured University Pleasures Paradoxes and Politics

While a life in academia is still one bestowed with enormous privilege and opportunity on the inside its cracks and fragility have been on display for some time. We see evidence of this in researchers bemoaning time spent applying for grants rather than doing research; teachers frustrated at the ways student feedback data are deployed to feed judgements about them; and doctoral students realising that they have little chance of securing full-time academic work. Yet in the public policy domain the opposite appears true: academics left to their own devices in their elite ivory towers rarely ever do enough. This collection addresses the fact that academic life deserves to be rigorously researched. Its emphasis on the measured university traces how academic life had ceded itself to the logics of perverse measures and raises questions about whether the contemporary university may well have become too measured to adequately counter the political times now upon us. The contributors explore the ways in which measurement inhabits paradoxical positions in these spaces. It sketches the contours and consequences of mismeasurement including the personal costs to academic staff. It examines our desires and fumbled efforts at institutional transformation and it puts on display our own ethical conduct. The collection concludes with a call to chart a course for a revitalized moral economy of academic labour. This book was originally published as a special issue of Higher Education Research & Development. | Academic Life in the Measured University Pleasures Paradoxes and Politics

Tragedy

Tragedy

This wide-ranging and unique collection of documents on one of the most enduring of literary genres Tragedy offers a radical revaluation of its significance in the light of the critical attention that it has received during the past one-hundred and fifty years. The foundations of much contemporary thinking about Tragedy are to be found in the writings of Hegel Nietzsche and Kierkegaard; in addition the dialectical tradition emanating from Marxism and the psycho-analytical writings of Freud have extended significantly the horizons of the subject. With the explosion of interest in the areas of post-structuralism sociology of culture social anthropology feminism deconstruction and the study of ritual new questions are being asked about this persistent artistic exploration of human experience. This book seeks to represent a full selection of these divergent interests in a series of substantial extracts which display the continuing richness of the debate about a genre which has provoked and challenged categorical discussion since the appearance of Aristotle's Poetics.
