Technologies of Interpretation: Design and Redesign of the Tahitian Marketplace at the Field Museum of Natural History
1999
Museum exhibitions are a special genre of anthropological communication: one that offers unique creative opportunities for the practice of applied anthropology. This paper tells the story of one controversial exhibition and offers some lessons learned from the experience. Museums stand at a critical crossroads where innovation and risk taking can lead to a new age of museum participation in popular education and cultural enrichment. The author encourages museums to abandon the trend towards expensive and time-consuming renovations of outdated permanent exhibitions (they will always be out of date), and to look instead towards new technologies and approaches that allow a wider range of educators and artists to create more temporary exhibitions. /// Les expositions muséales constituent un genre particulier de communication anthropologique qui offre des possibilités créatives uniques pour la pratique de l'anthropologie appliquée. Cet article raconte l'histoire d'une exposition controversée et tire certaines leçons de cette expérience. Les musées se trouvent à un carrefour critique où innover et prendre des risques peuvent conduire à une nouvelle ère en ce qui a trait à l'implication des musées dans l'éducation populaire et dans l'enrichissement culturel. L'auteur encourage les musées à abandonner la tendance actuelle des rénovations d'expositions permanentes dépassées (elles seront toujours dépassées) qui coûtent cher en temps et en argent. L'auteur suggère d'explorer plutôt les nouvelles approches et technologies qui permettent à un plus grand nombre d'éducateurs et d'artistes de créer un nombre accru d'expositions temporaires.
