微观史视角下博物馆叙事展览的策展取向与建构

A Study on the Curatorial Orientation and Construction of Museum Narrative Exhibition from the Perspective of Microhistory

近年来,博物馆将微观史研究范式引入展览工作领域策划微观叙事展览,成功摸索出一条新的展览路径。微观史学的研究取向对博物馆创新叙事展览策划具有积极的方法论意义,一是展览“从宏大转向日常”,二是彰显“见微知著”的展览要义,三是兼具宏观视域,促使微观与宏观视野相融合。“向往—‘我’与安徽改革开放四十年”和“‘国强’的生活—庆祝新中国成立70周年重庆生活变迁物证展”就是这种策展取向下比较成功的展览实践,代表着当前这类展览的概貌和特色。但是,要更好地策划微观叙事展览,还需要在策展过程中充分挖掘和阐释多样性的叙事载体,避免叙事内容碎片化,同时强化展陈设计与叙事性语境的融合。

In recent years,museums have introduced the research paradigm of microhistory into exhibition planning and explored a new path for exhibitions through micro-narrative.The research orientation of microhistory holds significant methodological implications for innovative narative exhibition planning in museums:First,exhibitions shift“from grand to mundane”themes.Second,they highlight the concept of“understanding the whole through observing the part.”Third,they integrate a macro perspective,promoting the fusion of micro and macro views.Exhibitions such as“Aspiration:Forty Years of Reform and Opening-Up in Anhui and Me”and“The Life of Guoqiang:Celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China via the Life Changes in Chongqing”are successful examples of this curatorial approach.They represent the characteristics and general picture of exhibitions of this type.However,to better plan micro-narative exhibitions,it is necessary to fully explore and interpret diverse narrative carriers in the curatorial process,avoid fragmentation of narrative content,and strengthen the integration of exhibition designand narrativecontext.
