More than a detailed history of a museum and tourist attraction, it examines the packaging of American history, and consumerism and the manufacturing of cultural beliefs. Through extensive fieldwork - including numerous site visits, interviews with employees and visitors, and archival research - Richard Handler and Eric Gable illustrate how corporate sensibility blends with pedagogical principle in Colonial Williamsburg to blur the lines between education and entertainment, patriotism and revisionism." "During much of its existence, the "living museum" at Williamsburg has been considered a patriotic shrine, celebrating the upscale lifestyles of Virginia's colonial-era elite. But in recent decades a new generation of social historians has injected a more populist and critical slant to the site's narrative of nationhood. For example, in interactions with museum visitors, employees now relate stories about the experiences of African Americans and women, stories that several years ago did not enter into descriptions of life in Colonial Williamsburg. Handler and Gable focus on the way this public history is managed, as historians and administrators define historiographical policy and middle-level managers train and direct front-line staff to deliver this "product" to the public. They explore how visitors consume or modify what they hear and see, and reveal how interpreters and craftspeople resist or acquiesce in being managed. By deploying the voices of these various actors in a richly textured narrative, The New History in an Old Museum highlights the elements of cultural consensus that emerge from this cacophony of conflict and negotiation."--BOOK JACKET.HISTORY / United States / State & Local / GeneralbisacshColonial Williamsburg (Williamsburg, Va.)Williamsburg (Va.)HistoryHISTORY / United States / State & Local / General.975.5/425202/0747554252Handler Richard1950-446550Gable Eric1955-1152550NDDNDDBOOK9910786405003321The new history in an old museum3701938UNINA03024nam 2200625Ia 450 991083023360332120230421044624.01-282-68195-897866126819500-470-14162-X0-470-14215-4(CKB)1000000000376730(EBL)455976(OCoLC)609844685(SSID)ssj0000353745(PQKBManifestationID)11246015(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000353745(PQKBWorkID)10289576(PQKB)11285653(MiAaPQ)EBC455976(EXLCZ)99100000000037673019870604d1998 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrAdvances in chemical physicsVolume 103[electronic resource] /edited by I.
