Abstract
In this review article, we first investigate the impact of a volume
edited by Peter Vergo, New Museology, on the discourse and practice of
museums and the role they can play in society. Are museums already
or still contact zones as James Clifford proposed? How far can this
metaphor be pushed, as Robin Boast advocated? Critical changes are
needed, according to Bruno Brulon Soares. Furthermore, the handbook,
understand website, The participatory museum by Nina Simon had a major
impact in promoting be!er use of museums as community spaces and
participatory models. Graham Black added emphasis on conversation and
social interaction: facilitating taking part, corrective response, belonging,
empowering and taking action. Agonism is the path recommended
by Chantal Mouffe. Moreover, this proposal was further developed and
operationalized by Anna Cento Bull and Hans Lauge Hansen in the model
of agonistic memory.
