Although there are thousands of small, independent, single-subject museums in the UK, Europe and North America, the field of museum studies remains focused almost exclusively on major institutions.In this ground-breaking new book, Fiona Candlin reveals how micromuseums challenge preconceived ideas about what museums are and how they operate. Based on extensive fieldwork and analysis of more than fifty micromuseums, she shows how they offer dramatically different models of curation, interpretation and visitor experience, and how their analysis generates new perspectives on subjects such as display, objects, collections, architecture, and the public sphere. The first-ever book dedicated to the subject, Micromuseology provides a platform for radically rethinking key debates within museum studies. Destined to transform the field, it is essential reading for students and researchers in museum studies, anthropology, material culture studies, and visual culture.Small museumsSmall museums.069Candlin Fiona1865330UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910969539803321Micromuseology4472368UNINA04607oam 2200601I 450 991095796090332120251116181357.01-351-28042-21-351-28043-01-351-28044-91-909493-67-810.4324/9781351280440 (CKB)2550000001040319(EBL)1741660(SSID)ssj0000822983(PQKBManifestationID)11482173(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000822983(PQKBWorkID)10761052(PQKB)11313818(MiAaPQ)EBC1741660(Au-PeEL)EBL1741660(CaPaEBR)ebr10650080(OCoLC)681219981(OCoLC)1004350343(EXLCZ)99255000000104031920180706d2017 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrInterfaces between Science and Society /Ãngela Guimarães PereiraFirst edition.London :Taylor and Francis,2017.1 online resource (369 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-874719-97-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.pt.

Emerging styles of governance and new ICT."The project of science has been to provide answers to questions about the world and how it works. Often, this lofty role has been characterised by a narrow and dogmatic scientific training, an unwillingness to communicate to differing stakeholder needs, a refusal to accept and to manage uncertainty, complexity and value commitments, and the reduction of knowledge assessment to colleague peer review on narrowly technical issues. Times have changed. As the world faces increasingly disparate challenges, science is subjected to increasingly vehement demands from a society calling for transparency, openness and public participation in science policy. Science is going through an evolutionary process. Perhaps the most painful process it has ever encountered.  Research on the interfaces between science and society is a burgeoning area. A new conception of knowledge now appears to be emerging, based on the awareness of complexity, uncertainty and a plurality of legitimate perspectives and interests. Democracy is extending into the previously quite exclusive scientific realm, and science must now submit to public scrutiny and participation in the governance of knowledge. This book provides much-needed reflections on the methods and tools for knowledge quality assurance, particularly on its inputs to extended policy and decision-making processes.  The overall aim is to improve the relationship between science and society. The discussion involves six themes: communicating between plural perspectives; accepting and learning how to manage uncertainty, complexity and value commitments; acknowledging new conceptions of knowledge; implementing transparency, openness and participation in science policy; valuing community-based research; and exploring how new ICT can support inclusive governance. Taken together, these themes provide both a framework and vision on how to conceive, discuss and evaluate the changes that are occurring. The chapters cover theory, practice, approaches, experiences, ideas and suggestions for a move beyond "talking the talk" to "walking the walk".  Science and policy interfaces are dynamic processes needing to permanently redefine themselves and their roles. This book contributes to the enrichment and deepening of our understanding of these important new trends in the social relations of science, which are fundamental to our understanding of the prospects for further progress.  The book will be essential reading for scientists, policy-makers, managers and the public."--Provided by publisher.ScienceSocial aspectsScienceSocial aspects.303.48302.10bclPereira Ãngela Guimarães1880519Tognetti Sylvia1880520Vaz Sofia Guedes1873005FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910957960903321Interfaces between Science and Society4494527UNINA
