苏东海论述中的博物馆“物”与“人”关系

The Relationship between "Objects" and "People" at Museum in Su Donghai’s Treatises

苏东海曾以“社会化”“外向化”等概念入手阐述博物馆面向“人”的转型,主张将博物馆的发展融入到社会变化中;与此同时,又从博物馆发展史、“物”的价值等角度,强调“物”在博物馆的核心位置。苏东海对于生态博物馆的思考见证了新博物馆运动在中国发展的全过程;他对新博物馆运动进行讨论的同时并未放弃强调“物”的重要性,也并未将新旧博物馆视作替代性的关系。此外,苏东海构建起一系列理论以寻求“物”与“人”的统一,但是在当代博物馆的现实中,依旧没有解决“物”的研究、激励机制以及新博物馆运动的意义等一系列问题,“物”与“人”仍存在着分离。

Su Donghai used the concepts such as "socialization" or "outward orientation" to explain the museum transformation toward "people" and suggested that museums should be more involved in social development.Meanwhile,Su emphasizes the core position of "objects" in museums from the perspective of the museum history and the value of "objects".Su’s theory on eco-museums is a testimony to the development of the new museum movement in China.He never gave up emphasizing the importance of "objects" in his discussion of the new museum movement and refused to replace the traditional museum with the new one.Even though Su has developed a set of theories to seek the unification of "objects" and "people",Chinese museums still need to face the challenges such as the study of "objects",the incentive mechanism of museums,and the position of new museum movement,which all show that there are still huge gaps between "objects" and "people".
