ABSTRACT Inclusive and broad research stresses the need for museums to be socially responsible in the representation of the various communities it represents. This article examines the curator’s representation of source communities presented in two exhibitions in the First Australians Galleries at the National Museum of Australia – investigated through the concepts of multi-voicedness, semiotic landscape, and agency. The qualitative methodologies applied include semi-structured interviews with curators, and image- and document-based analyses. Findings revealed that the exhibition’s semiotic landscape was strongly framed by the collaboration of voices between museum curators and Indigenous Australian and Torres Strait Islander communities. The curators emphasized the moral value of their work in consulting with Indigenous communities; this suggests that the curators have positioned themselves as change agents, which empowers the source communities as well as strengthens the museum’s standing within those communities.

澳大利亚国家博物馆符号学景观中的包容性澳大利亚土著声音

摘要 包容性和广泛的研究强调博物馆需要在代表其所代表的各个社区时承担社会责任。本文考察了策展人在澳大利亚国家博物馆第一澳大利亚人画廊的两个展览中展示的源社区的表现——通过多声部、符号学景观和代理的概念进行了调查。所应用的定性方法包括与策展人的半结构化访谈，以及基于图像和文件的分析。调查结果显示，展览的符号景观受到博物馆策展人与澳大利亚土著和托雷斯海峡岛民社区之间的声音合作的强烈影响。策展人在与土著社区协商时强调了他们工作的道德价值；这表明策展人将自己定位为变革推动者，这赋予了原始社区权力并加强了博物馆在这些社区中的地位。图形概要
