Abstract
Abstract:This text is not so much a theoretical analysis as a practical study. It provides a form of guidance for a museum tour, which could be more of a conversation than a monologue delivered by one person being followed by a group of listeners. In what is called a moderated tour: the guide is less concerned with imparting specific facts and more interested in trying to help with the joint production of knowledge and is therefore open to contributions from the group being guided. Essential acts of speech here are: informing, redressing, ratifying, honoring, and evaluating. Therefore, the leader needs not only a good knowledge of the subject at hand but also the ability to acknowledge the interests and expertise of his/her listeners.
期刊介绍:
Narrative Culture is a new journal that conceptualizes narration as a broad and pervasive human practice, warranting a holistic perspective that grasps the place of narrative comparatively across time and space. The journal invites contributions that document, discuss and theorize narrative culture, and offers a platform that integrates approaches spread across various disciplines. The field of narrative culture thus outlined is defined by a large variety of forms of popular narratives, including not only oral and written texts, but also narratives in images, three-dimensional art, customs, rituals, drama, dance, music, and so forth. Narrative Culture is peer-reviewed and international as well as interdisciplinary in orientation.
