Rövid leírás:
Corinne A. Kratz examines exhibition design as communication, analyzing how the multiple media combined and orchestrated through exhibit design create a platform through which visitors forge meanings and values during their exhibit encounters.
TöbbHosszú leírás:
In Rhetorics of Value, Corinne A. Kratz explores how exhibition design creates and conveys values that have the potential to touch, educate, and engage visitors. Drawing on case studies from the Victoria and Albert Museum, museums in South Africa and Kenya, a Hawaiian resort hotel, and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, among others, Kratz shows how exhibits help shape and narrate cultural categories, values, and histories while provoking questions and evoking memories and experiences. She crosses contexts to consider ethnographic, history, and art exhibits in national and community museums and other display settings. Through these examples, Kratz traces how exhibition designers combine objects, texts, images, lighting, audio, space, and narratives to craft a complex, multilayered communicative form that visitors experience as they move through museums. By investigating the relationship between audience reception and exhibition design strategies, Kratz contends that through design, exhibits can shape the ways we know, the stories we tell, and our contours of meaning and engagement.
“Rhetorics of Value makes a major contribution to the theory of museum exhibitions by focusing on the relationship between the design of exhibitions and the way they are open to interpretation and their impact. Covering a diverse set of exhibitions, this important book will engage with a wide audience and will influence discourse in museum studies, cultural studies, African studies, and anthropology more generally.”
