Mapping Culture and Sustainability
The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) address broad environmental, economic and social sustainability concerns. The inclusion of culture was part of the debate until the adoption of the SDGs in 2015. Among other things, the complexity of the meaning of culture alone, and in combination with sustainability, made this inclusion challenging. Along the way, there have been several attempts to define cultural sustainability and make the compos…
Appropriations of Cultural Sustainability across Research Fields
This scoping review examines the growing academic use of the concept cultural sustainability over the past two decades. Based on keyword searches across multiple databases, the study includes 213 peer-reviewed English-language articles published between 2001 and January 2023. It maps the temporal and geographical distribution of the concept, its disciplinary applications, and its varying definitions. Findings show a global increase in usage, with…
Reframing the stigma of failure with playfulness
Within the field of software development, notions of agile development, failing fast, and learning from your mistakes are ingrained in the culture. However, this is seldom the case for legacy cultural institutions, such as museums. This is detrimental to their innovative potential. The importance of acknowledging failure as a part of innovation was one of the key insights coming out of an action research process involving ten museums from the EU …
How might we? Co-constructing recommendations on digital and organizational change
This article accounts for the process of co-constructing knowledge as a set of recommendations on digital and organizational change for the museum sector. The recommendations were formulated at the end of an 18-month-long action research project with 10 participating museums from EU and the USA. Here we analyze the contextual background for the recommendations and show how the initially open knowledge generating process was stepwise condensed int…

Media and communication in Asia in early 21st century
Asia has some of the largest, most dynamic, diversified, and complicated media industries in the world (McKinsey & Company, 2015). Entering the 21st Century, the rapid economic and political developments of Asia further energize the growth of media locally and globally (for general discussion, see, e.g., Keane [2006]; Thussu [2006], specific discussions on the cases of Korea [Kim, 2013], Japan [Iwabuchi, 2004], China [Sun, 2009]). In a reflection…
I ♥ Skagens Museum
Facebook has often been hailed for affording participation and thus for representing an opportunity for institutions to interact with the public. However, research concerning how institutions are actualizing this communicative opportunity is still scarce. In this article, we seek to address this gap by investigating empirically how one type of institution, namely museums, and their Facebook followers, actually communicate. Our approach is innovat…

The sound of yesteryear on display
The increasing presentation of popular music culture as heritage is manifested in the recent proliferation of museums of pop/rock culture. This calls for an examination of the current practices of disseminating pop/rock heritage through exhibitions. Two trends have been identified and criticised by previous commentators: first, the prominence of nostalgia in exhibition narratives and second, that exhibitions of popular music tend to display ancil…
The Media Mixer
We explore how remixing and content sharing can be used as a means for user participation in a digital museum age. Remix culture is seen as a culture that allows and encourages the production of derivative works; works that are based on already existing works. This cultural practice thrives throughout the Internet, most notably on web 2.0 sites like YouTube. The Media Museum has embraced the remix paradigm with the development of an interactive m…
