ΤΟ ΜΟΥΣΕΙΟ ΚΑΙ ΟΙ ΠΡΟΔΡΟΜΟΙ ΤΟΥ
Τα μουσεία έχουν παίξει σημαντικό ρόλο στη διαμόρφωση της γνώσης κατά τα τελευταία 600 περίπου χρόνια. Ποια είναι, ωστόσο, η θέση τους στη σημερινή κοινωνία; Στην εποχή μας, οπότε, εκτός των άλλων, τα μουσεία αντιμετωπίζουν και σοβαρά προβλήματα χρηματοδότησης, τα ερωτήματα που συνδέονται με το ρόλο τους και με τη λειτουργία τους είναι πολλά και επιτακτικά.

(P/B) MUSEUMS AND THE INTERPRETATION OF VISUAL CULTURE
This is a multi-disciplinary study that adopts an innovative and original approach to a highly topical question, that of meaning-making in museums, focusing its attention on pedagogy and visual culture.

(P/B) THE EDUCATIONAL ROLE OF THE MUSEUM
Grounded in the solid strengths of its first edition, this second edition illustrates the recent rapid development of communication and learning within museums.

In a major introductory essay, Eilean Hooper-Greenhill sets museum education within new theoretical frameworks, drawing on interpretive philosophy and critical pedagogy. Part o...
