从体验到价值:约翰·福尔克博物馆观众研究的纵深——评《博物馆体验再探讨》

From Experience to Value:the Further Development of John Falk s Museum Visitor Research——A Review on The Museum Experience Revisited

1992年《博物馆体验》出版,2012年再版为《博物馆体验再探讨》。两书相隔的20年里,作者福尔克在互动体验模式的基础上进一步深化,提出了情境学习模式与身份相关的参观动机。此外,为区别博物馆学习与学校学习,福尔克创建了“自由选择学习”概念。这些理论最终构成了该书的基础和框架,融汇在行文脉络之中。由此,《博物馆体验再探讨》可谓是福尔克这二十年来研究的集大成之作。另一方面,福尔克在书中对博物馆价值的追问也为后续出版的《博物馆的价值:提升社会福祉》埋下了伏笔。透过该书,我们将得以管窥福尔克博物馆观众研究的发展轨迹,从而更好地理解其之于博物馆观众的疑问与回答。
