Museum, critical review

blended course

The purpose of this seminar is to revisit and revise the main analyses of the Museum produced since the 1950s: the critical interventions of artists, the proposals of architects, the critical scenarios of sociologists and anthropologists who have highlighted the unconscious of this Western and bourgeois institution.
This critical wave came up against the museum boom in the 2000s following the insertion of the world's main museums into the international circuits of capitalist rent and mass tourism.
Is it still possible to associate the museum with an emancipation programme? That will be our starting point.
The aim of this seminar is to build up a new corpus of texts and references for the coming museum.
