Journal of Sociomuseology: Critical reform and democratization practices

Lisbon
Eingabeschluss : 30.06.2023

Marta Jecu

This special issue aims at analysing contemporary art's role – and especially conceptual art's role – for the progressive development of critical reform and democratization practices in museology, with a focus on social museology. We are looking for contributions that discuss historic and recent case studies, theories and solutions coming from the field of art and that emerged in the context of a new, social museology.
The publication questions how a conceptual dimension in arts has been contributing to the re-thinking of the museum as practice (social and cultural), having important implications for the promotion of decolonial thinking by introducing multiple narratives and including overshadowed objects and marginalised histories in the museological narratives – promoting, therefore, eco-social justice, as well as expanding the identity of the heritage object with an immaterial dimension.
This special issue intends to explore the connections between on one hand the principles of sociomuseology, which includes the immediate social reality into the museologic practice and on the other hand conceptual art practices that deal with a critical museology and inclusive heritage transmission.

The call is open to contributions from the fields of Museology, Art History and Artistic Studies, Anthropology, Education Sciences, Architecture and Design, Performance Studies, etc.
