Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book of essays explores concepts of museum, place, memory and landscape. It is inspired by the 2016 ICOM General Conference in Milan, the topic of which was Museums and Cultural Landscapes. The organizers of the Milan conference proclaimed that museums should become musei diffusi, extended museums to protect and interact with the cultural and natural heritage outside their walls. This idea was based on the Siena Charter of 2014, which proclaimed that "Involving the museums in the management and care of the cultural landscape means to develop their natural vocation, by extending their responsibility from their collections to the cultural heritage and surroundings: their local towns, villages and communities." How should museums react? And what relations do museum, big and small, have to place? Essays here examine aspects of the place of museums in an environment and the role the environment should or could play on museums. They deal with places made into museums, preserved landscapes and heritage sites in general – from a critical point of view; museums in place; place in museum, ecomuseum ideas. Some ask what role does the concept of collective memory and identity as well as the materiality of memory play in processes directed to making place a museum – or making a museum in a specific place? Others question the power of a museum to effect the desired changes. These papers address both museum/ musealization and place/landscape, however these terms are defined, with a sustainable future as the goal.

Critical Museology in Scandinavia and Finland – a Basis of Change?
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Museology has in most parts of the world been, and still is, perceived as a theory of the museum institution itself; the museum as social phenomenon; the museum’s role in society and learning, museum collections and management, etcetera. Parallel to this, particularly in East European countries, museology early came to cover much more. The concept grew larger and included other institutions from the field of heritage, living history and science. Today the concept of museology in these countries covers almost everything that has to do with man’s dealing with time, history, immaterial and material heritage, from large geographical eco-museums and heritage sites to the smallest private enterprise. The chair of museology at Umeå university, Sweden (courses started in 1981 but became a professorship in 1997), defines museology in this very broad sense. Our theoretical standpoint today is also more critical and can be seen as a parallel to the emerging field of Critical Heritage.In this paper I will explore the development of museology in Scandinavia and Finland and its early influences from East Europe and France. I will also ponder the seemingly deep “iron curtain” between the Anglo-Saxon and the German-French speaking world of museological or museum research.In conclusion I will draw up some lines for the development of museology in order to create theoretical resources for museums and heritage enterprises to adapt in their work for a more sustainable future. Some seriously new lines of thinking are needed here.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper will discuss some ideas on learning and "understanding" in a communicative process, particularly attached to objects in a museum setting. I will analyse our object relations and the idea of engagement, participation and collaboration in museums. A starting point is, on the one hand, today's individualization of society, with self-performative action as a result. On the other hand there is a "radical group-forming" tendency that goes along with new communication technologies that has created an "architecture" of participation. Museums have responded to these new tendencies in society in a variety of ways. I will bring up some hermeneutical aspects to the "visitor business" and "learning" and point out the social and phenomenological origin of identity, thought and cognition. I will take a look at the identity of the "radical" individual on the one hand and of the institution on the other, and point out some unsolved museological and paradigmatic problems in the interaction between these two. Finally I will discuss the very much overlooked question how do institutions think, and work?
