CALL FOR PAPERS

CONTEMPORARY ART - A TOOL FOR AN INCLUSIVE AND REGENERATED MUSEOLOGY

SUMMARY:

This special issue is 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 volume launches the question of how did conceptual art contribute since the beginning of the 20th century to the re-thinking of the museum as practice (social and cultural), which had important implications for promoting de-colonial thinking, allowing multiple narratives, including secondary objects and marginalised histories into the museologic narrative, promoting eco-social justice and 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 inclussive conceptual art practices that deal with a critical museology and heritage transmission.

The call is open to contributions from the fields of museology, arts, anthropology, social sciences, education science, design, performance studies, aesthetics.
