兴起于19世纪的博物馆是与民族-国家的形成与巩固紧密相联的。对于今天的博物馆而言,一个关键的问题是思考它们在民族—国家认同面临挑战的世界中的作用,以找到合适的方式来表达新的认同。作者对19世纪博物馆的认同作用做一个简要的概括,并分析社会理论家的一些观点和客观的现实,思考它们对博物馆的意义。作者还实地调查了英国卡特莱特霍尔的跨文化艺术馆的运作方式,并指出博物馆除了能够表达民族的、同质的和固有的身份之外,还适于表达其他类型的身份。
The rise of museums in the 19th century was closely linked to the formation and consolidation of the nation-state. For today’s museum, a key issue is to think about their role in a nation where nation-state identity is challenging to find the right way to express new identities. The author gives a brief overview of the recognition of 19th century museums and analyzes some of the social theorists’ perspectives and objective realities and their implications for museums. The authors also surveyed the way the InterContinental Museum of Art in Cartwright Hall, in the United Kingdom, on the ground and pointed out that museums are suitable for expressing other types of identities in addition to their ethnic, homogeneous and inherent identities.
