Call for papers for the 10th anniversary of Muséologies Research Journal
10 years of museology: taking stock of concepts and emerging paradigms
The Editor and Editorial Committee of Muséologies
invite submissions for the 10th anniversary special edition, which will
focus on the last decade’s most significant developments in the museum
field.
Muséologies is a
peer-reviewed publication cutting across the arts production and the
arts scene, the humanities and the social sciences. Its mandate is to
publish and promote interdisciplinary research centered on the
contemporary museum’s multiple functions.
This
non-thematic (open) issue will bring together contributions that report
the emergence of new museological concepts or develop a reflection on
the following themes:
- Transculturality and cultural syncretism at work in the museum space;
- The transformation of the collection and the actualization of the status of the collection object;
-The aims, stakes, scopes and paradoxes of critical exhibitions in the museum;
- The impact of architecture's new interdisciplinary practices on the exhibition space;
- The new forms of mediation;
- The development of new technologies and their impact;
- The exhibition of the redocumentarization or the resemantisation of the archive;
- The museum’s participation in the reinvention of the urban space.

education. The clarity of communication, the strength of the research
