记忆与诠释:口述史在改革开放主题展览中的运用

Memory and Interpretation:The Use of Oral History in Reform and Opening-up Themed Exhibitions

口述史在博物馆的收藏、展览以及研究等工作中的作用日益凸显,将口述史科学运用到改革开放主题展览中,对于建构展览叙事的情感、增强展览的思想性和生动性具有重要意义。但在策展实践中,口述史料在作为辅助性展品或是配合展览叙事而形成重点展项的运用中,往往侧重形式而忽视展览叙事的衔接度,导致口述项目与展览的贴合度欠缺。对此,博物馆要从加强改革开放口述史料研究、整合物证征集与口述访谈以及增强展览的交互式体验等方面着手,挖掘口述史在改革开放主题展览中的价值,以此记录和留存改革开放伟大历程,诠释和解读改革开放伟大精神。

The role of oral history in museum collections,exhibitions and research is becoming increasingly prominent.The application of oral history to exhibitions on the Reform and Opening-up can make the exhibition more captivating,more engaging and more thought-provoking.In practice,the use of oral history to support or form the main part of the exhibition has over emphasized its form and neglected the articulation of the exhibition narrative,resulting in a lack of fit between the oral project and the exhibition.In view of the problems existing in the application of oral history in the reform and opening up themed exhibitions,museums should strengthen the research on oral history materials of the Reform and Opening-up,integrate the collection of physical evidence and oral interviews,and increase the interactive experience of the exhibition so as to document and preserve the great process of the Reform and opening-up and give interpretation of the great spirit of Reform and Opening-up.
