从见证之物到形象——论国有博物馆体制叙事立场的转变

From the Exhibit as the Testimony to the Exhibit as the Image——the Shifting Positions in the Narrative Paradigms of Chinese Public Museum

改革开放以来,国有博物馆的叙事范式经历了由物、形象至景观的变化,简单说即藏品由"见证之物"向"形象"的转变。通过分析推动该转变背后的博物馆一系列反思——即信任"见证之物"的纯自然性;对藏品作为"见证之物"及"形象"这一矛盾未察或含糊化立场;有意识地利用这一矛盾;以及视觉叙事策略的大众化这四种立场,"形象"背后的博物馆体制本身的结构性关系的自我调整,以及其中的问题亦得以显现。

Since the reform and opening-up in Chinese society,narrative paradigms in the Chinese Public Museum have changed from material-centred,to image-centred and spectaclecentred,in short,the development from the exhibit as the testimony to the exhibit as the image.There are four different positions during the development,they are believing the nature of the testimony,ambiguous attitude toward the relationship between testimony and image,taking advantage of the contradictory relationship,the popularization of its visual representation strategy in which we see the self adjustment of the museum institution and its problems there.
