While Qatari museums strive to provide a platform for the nation's "voice," this article argues that museum merchandise occupies a new, elevated role in Qatar's contemporary neoliberal environment—as an extension of the country's global outreach and nation-branding. Since state-sanctioned museum merchandise is necessarily expressive of state policies, this article contends that Qatar's museum gift shops are reformulating the signifiers of Qatari national identity through contemporary commodities and redrawing the parameters of national belonging.

消费者公民：卡塔尔的国民身份和博物馆商品

尽管卡塔尔博物馆努力为该国的“声音”提供平台，但本文认为，博物馆商品在卡塔尔当代新自由主义环境中占据着新的，更高的地位，这是该国在全球范围内的拓展和民族品牌的延伸。由于国家认可的博物馆商品必定能表达国家政策，因此本文认为，卡塔尔的博物馆礼品店正在通过当代商品重新定义卡塔尔民族身份的标志，并重新绘制民族归属的参数。
