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…
Museums Configuring the Local
Museums increasingly contribute to public development processes that include the promotion of heritage values in everyday urban and rural environments, such as historical buildings, city structures or landscapes. In Denmark taking part in municipal regulation and planning activities in order to safeguard preservation worthy assets in the physical and built environment is a law-given task for museums. This study examined three cultural historical …
A New Keyword in the Museum
Since 2000, the concept of the Anthropocene has moved from its geologic field of origin into numerous other academic disciplines and into the world of museums. Based on journal papers, exhibition reviews and online material, this paper describes 41 exhibitions about the Anthropocene, analyzes how museums and galleries understand the Anthropocene, and how they use exhibition media as well as their authority as museums in dealing with this topic. I…
This is where we do it!”. Materiality, family, and musealization in second homes
The materiality of family-inherited second homes offers a rich example of musealization in the private sphere. Presuming that relational socio-material practices that enact family culture and history take place at these houses, we conducted an observation and interview study by visiting ten family-inherited second homes in Denmark. In our analysis of these visits, we examine various practices by which musealization takes place in the second homes…
Ways of relating
This paper presents a study on collaborations between museum professionals and municipal organizations in their dealings for safeguarding heritage. Since 2001, Danish cultural-historical museums have been legally required to promote the preservation of significant heritage assets in historical buildings and environments of recent modern history. Taking three provincial municipalities and their local museums as the empirical starting point, this i…
Young people's own museum views
Taking a mixed-methods, visitor-focused approach to views on museums, this article examines what views young Danes aged 13–23 years (n = 2,350) hold on museums and how these views can be categorized and articulated. Arguing that studying views of museums as socially situated meaning-making practices adds theoretical and empirical depth to existing research and practice, we apply semantic categorization, speech-act theory, and cognitive linguistic…
Participation at work in the museum
Openness and inclusiveness toward the public are mandatory aspects of contemporary museums. Museum projects and studies responding to this imperative have been frequent in recent years, but how does participation in museums unfold, and how can external partners’ contributions be evaluated and understood? Based on a practice-led and ethnographic study of a participatory collaborative design process in the Danish Museum of Rock Music,11. As of Janu…
Contemporary collaborations between museums and universities
Numerous new types of cross-institutional collaborations have been conducted recently at the intersection between museums and universities. Museums of all subject areas have collaborated with university researchers, just as scholars from a broad range of disciplines including communications, media studies, IT and performance design and tourism increasingly collaborate with museums. Based on qualitative evaluation material and autobiographical exp…
