ABSTRACT

Newly set-up social heritage museums have attempted to counter the anonymous and stereotyped presentations of migrants in the public sphere. Drawing on the tension between media and museum representations of human mobility, this paper offers a multimodal analysis of de-marginalization strategies in museum discourses of migration. We argue that in contrast to contemporary news media and their predominantly “exclusionary” discourse (Krzyżanowski, Triandafyllidou, and Wodak 2018 Krzyżanowski, Michał , AnnaTriandafyllidou, and RuthWodak . 2018. “The Mediatization and the Politicization of the ‘Refugee Crisis’ in Europe.” Journal of Immigrant & Refugee Studies 16 (1-2): 1–14. doi:10.1080/15562948.2017.1353189.[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]. “The Mediatization and the Politicization of the ‘Refugee Crisis’ in Europe.” Journal of Immigrant & Refugee Studies 16 (1-2): 1–14), museums portray (e)migration enthusiastically, with varying degrees of sophistication, with strategies to generate involvement, empathy, and pleasurable experience. Historical actors and events are thereby stretched as well as compressed and essentialized into a phenomenon of people of all times everywhere. In this process of de-marginalization, however, museums and visitors also pay a price of differentiation and authenticity. We suggest that this mainly happens under the pressure of neoliberal economic conditions and the exigencies of the experience economy.

摘要

新成立的社会遗产博物馆试图对付公共领域的移民的匿名和陈规定型观念。利用媒体和博物馆对人类流动性的表象之间的张力，本文对博物馆话语中的去边缘化策略进行了多模式分析。我们认为，与当代新闻媒体及其主要的``排他性''话语相反（Krzyżanowski，Triandafyllidou和Wodak 2018 Krzyżanowski，Michał ，Anna Triandafyllidou和Ruth Wodak。2018。“欧洲“难民危机”的中介化和政治化。” 移民与难民研究杂志16（1-2）：1 – 14。doi：10.1080 / 15562948.2017.1353189。[Taylor＆Francis Online]，[Web ofScience®]  ，[Google Scholar]。“欧洲“难民危机”的中介化和政治化。” 移民与难民研究杂志16（1-2）：1–14），博物馆热情地描绘（e）移民，并以不同程度的成熟度，并通过策略产生参与，共鸣和愉悦的体验。历史的参与者和事件由此得到延伸，压缩和本质化，成为无处不在的人们的现象。然而，在这种去边缘化的过程中，博物馆和游客也付出了与众不同和真实性的代价。我们认为，这主要是在新自由主义经济条件和经验经济的迫切压力下发生的。
