Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines the affective turn in museums: what does it mean for museum theory and practice? How can we theorize its effects? In order to address these questions, the article develops the concept of ‘affective curatorship’, denoting curatorial approaches specifically aimed to affect visitors emotionally. Drawing on recent museological literature and exhibition projects in Europe and North America, the article exemplifies the qualities of affective curatorship and examines how emotions can be leveraged in curatorial practice in connection with the exhibition theme, activities, design, and the senses. The main finding is that affective curatorship is subtly transforming curatorial practice and, through that, the way we think and feel about museums. As a curatorial, theoretical and analytical perspective, affect offers crucial insights into the new roles that museums can play in increasingly emotionally demanding times.

博物馆的情感转向与情感策展的兴起

摘要本文探讨了博物馆的情感转向：它对博物馆理论和实践意味着什么？我们如何将其影响理论化？为了解决这些问题，本文提出了“情感策展”的概念，表示专门旨在影响游客情感的策展方法。本文借鉴了最近在欧洲和北美的博物馆学文献和展览项目，举例说明了情感策展的品质，并探讨了如何在策展实践中与展览主题、活动、设计和感官相关地利用情感。主要发现是，情感策展正在微妙地改变策展实践，并通过它改变我们对博物馆的思考和感受。作为一种策展、理论和分析视角，情感为博物馆在情感要求越来越高的时代可以扮演的新角色提供了至关重要的见解。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
