The Bog and the Beast:Museums, the Nation, and the World
This paper addresses how museums in the United States are changing how they represent the nation and its place in the world in response to immigration and globalization. I focus on how Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts new Art of the Americas Wing compares to the American Identities exhibit at Brooklyn Museum. In addition to looking at how institutional factors such as curatorial interests, the nature of the collections, and each museum’s benefactors help explain these two museum's different takes on Americanness, I also look at how the cultural armature of each city, or its history, demography, and cultural policies, affect how outward or inward-looking both museums have become. Finally, I ask what it is about the style of nationalism in the United States that also influences these cultural institutions.
发言概要:
沼泽与野兽:博物馆,国家和世界
本文着重表述美国艺术馆正在发生的改变。研究它们是如何展示美国,如何展示美国在世界的地位,如何对移民和全球化的做出反馈的。我着重对比了波士顿艺术美术馆“美国之翼新艺术展”与在布鲁克林美术馆进行的名为“美国身份”的展览。除了考虑如何从管理者的利益、收藏的本质以及博物馆捐助人等制度性因素来解释这两个博物馆对美国性的不同呈现外,我还会探讨两个城市的文化防卫机制、城市历史、人口学、文化政策等因素是如何影响这两座博物馆,使其分别成为了内向型和外向型博物馆。最后,我提出的问题是:那些影响到文化制度的美国国家主义风格到底是什么?
