区域博物馆开放性叙事探究——以长三角区域博物馆展览叙事为例

The Open Narrative in Regional Museums:A Case Study of Regional Museums in the Yangtze River Delta Region

传统的区域博物馆封闭性叙事固然能够强化对区域文化的集中阐释,但也有明显的“视野局限”。长三角区域一体化发展要求基于现代意识和全球眼光建设具有当代价值的“江南文化”,强调区域文化间的交互联动,推动区域博物馆叙事模式从封闭性向开放性转化。区域博物馆的开放性叙事建构可借鉴“大英博物馆百物展”叙事创新模式,从叙事空间的开放性、叙事结构的对话性和跨媒介叙事三方面重构博物馆叙事机制,这既能够反映区域历史和故事,也能够表述当下,更具主动参与性。探索建构“江南文化”的博物馆整体叙事路径,可从全球对话、主题展览、当代性叙事三个角度给予区域博物馆实践例证,并探索女性史、文创展览、“物的关联”等开放性叙事新方向。

While the closed narrative that has been traditionally adopted in regional museums helps centralize the interpretation of the regional culture, it has obvious"vision limitations". The integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta region requires the construction of a"Jiangnan culture"with contemporary values based on modern and global visions, emphasizing the interaction between regional cultures and promoting the transformation of regional museum narratives from closed to open. The regional museums in China can learn from the A History of the World in 100 Objects exhibition from the British Museum to re-construct their narrative mechanism focusing on the openness of the narrative space, the dialogue of the narrative structure, and cross-media narrative, to enable the museum to reflect the regional history as well as the present and be more active and participatory. The approaches to the construction of a holistic museum narrative of the "Jiangnan culture" are discussed through global conversations, themed exhibitions, and contemporary narrative with examples from museums in the Yangtze River Delta region. New directions for museum open narrative such as women’s history, museum merchandise shows, and the relevance of objects are explored.
