In remote areas of Europe, local history museums struggle to connect with the rapidly changing and increasingly diverse communities around them. Insa Müller asks how these museums can recast themselves to strengthen the links to their communities. Combining theoretical deliberations, empirical investigations of the case of two Norwegian islands and a museum experiment, she offers starting points for rethinking the local history museum, while at the same time providing suggestions for locally adapted museum practice.
How do participatory museum projects with forced migrants impact both the museum and the participants? What happens during these projects and what is left of them afterwards? Based on interviews with museum practitioners, facilitators and project participants, Susanne Boersma brings together unique insights into museum work with forced migrants. Her study of participatory projects in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK reveals museums' limiting infrastructures, the shortcomings of their ethical frameworks, and the problems of addressing forced migrants as 'communities'. Outlining the diverging objectives, experiences and outcomes of participatory projects, she suggests how these might be united in practice.
Die Geschichte vom Michstraßenmann entstand ursprünglich als Konzept für ein Straßentheater des Autoren und Theatermachers Jürgen Müller-Popken. (Künstlername Jümü). Das vorliegende Buch gibt erzählend, versehen mit wunderbaren Bildern von Daniela Hilde Nickau, die Poesie wieder, die Jümü vor 40 Jahren auf die Straße gezaubert hatte. Milchmann? Das war bis vor einiger Zeit noch ein Beruf. Der Milchmannberuf ist im 21. Jahrhundert, wie viele andere Berufe, praktisch ausgestorben. Der Milchmann brachte früh morgens die Milch an die Haustüreen der Menschen. Er füllte die bestellte Menge Milch aus seiner großen Kanne in die bereitstehenden Gefäße. Die vorliegende Geschichte er...
The museum and heritage sector has been shaken by debates over how to address colonialism, migration, Islamophobia, LGBTI+ and multiple other forms of difference. This major multi-researcher ethnography of museums and heritage in Berlin provides new insight into how ›diversity‹ is understood and put into action in museums and heritage. Exploring new initiatives and approaches, the book shows how these work – or do not – in practice. By doing so, it highlights ways forward – for research and action – for the future. The fieldwork locations on which this book is based include the Humboldt Forum, the Museum of Islamic Art, the Museum für Naturkunde, and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, as well as Berlin streets and protests.
The Journal of Cultural Management and Cultural Policy offers international perspectives on issues in cultural management and cultural policy research and practice. Artists shape policy and management which is integral to their practice. This issue looks at how artists engage in policy making and how policies develop through artistic practice. Authors examine the role of researchers as interpreters and developers of policies originating in artist-focused research, artist agency in artist-led development, and what it means to »give« artists a platform to pursue their policy interests. Additionally, marginalisation of artists and lack of diversity in methodologies are explored in this issue.
In den letzten Jahren hat die Innovation von Geschäftsmodellen in Theorie und Praxis eine hohe Aufmerksamkeit erlangt. Geschäftsmodelle orientieren sich an Kundenbedürfnissen, kombinieren unterschiedliche Elemente eines Unternehmens miteinander und stiften somit einen Kundennutzen. Geschäftsmodelle sind häufig schwerer imitierbar als Produkte, Dienstleistungen oder Prozesse und ermöglichen Unternehmen eine bessere Differenzierung gegenüber Wettbewerbern. Im Rahmen dieser Dissertation erfolgt die Entwicklung einer Methode für Geschäftsmodell-Innovation. Daneben findet die Entwicklung generischer Geschäftsmodelle für den Business-to-Business-Bereich statt.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Workshop on Functional Imaging and Modeling of the Heart, FIMH 2001, held in Helsinki, Finland, in November 2001.The 17 revised full papers presented together with four invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on anatomical modeling, motion and deformation, functional imaging, and towards electromechanical modeling.
Among the branches of classical physics, electromagnetism is the domain which experiences the most spectacular development, both in its fundamental and practical aspects. The quantum corrections which generate non-linear terms of the standard Maxwell equations, their specific form in curved spaces, whose predictions can be confronted with the cosmic polarization rotation, or the topological model of electromagnetism, constructed with electromagnetic knots, are significant examples of recent theoretical developments. The similarities of the Sturm-Liouville problems in electromagnetism and quantum mechanics make possible deep analogies between the wave propagation in waveguides, ballistic electron movement in mesoscopic conductors and light propagation on optical fibers, facilitating a better understanding of these topics and fostering the transfer of techniques and results from one domain to another. Industrial applications, like magnetic refrigeration at room temperature or use of metamaterials for antenna couplers and covers, are of utmost practical interest. So, this book offers an interesting and useful reading for a broad category of specialists.
