Swedish national parks face a shift, transforming them from spaces where tourism is a sub-interest into spaces where tourism is a primary focus. Through the establishment of new instructive installations, the intention is to make these parks Europe’s most popular nature-based tourism destinations. Such installations construct the non-human world, often depicted as nature, and contribute to shaping human understandings of nature. In this article, I seek to trace, make visible, and problematize how knowledge of nature is put to work and how power operates through these installations, but also how the non-human world is produced visually, and how all of this produces specific ways of seeing it. This is enabled by a discourse analysis with visual ethnographic influences, in which I focus on representations with an emphasis on design, content, and posed rationality. The analysis is designed in a reflexive-explorative manner, where the empirical context leads the analytical direction while the research process and its steps are presented systematically. Through this analysis, I argue that the national parks are transformed into museological organisations similar to the modernist museum, centred around educating visitors by displaying ‘real nature,’ and that this has implications for how the non-human world is understood. The most prominent of these is that a distance is promoted between the tourists and the non-human world.

现代主义博物馆的后代:追踪瑞典国家公园的博物馆化

瑞典国家公园面临着转变,将它们从以旅游为副业的空间转变为以旅游为主要关注点的空间。通过建立新的教学设施,目的是使这些公园成为欧洲最受欢迎的自然旅游目的地。这些装置构建了通常被描绘为自然的非人类世界,并有助于塑造人类对自然的理解。在这篇文章中,我试图追溯、展示和质疑自然知识是如何发挥作用的,权力是如何通过这些装置运作的,还有非人类世界是如何在视觉上产生的,以及所有这些如何产生特定的方式看到它。这是通过具有视觉民族志影响的话语分析实现的,其中我专注于强调设计、内容、并提出合理性。分析以反思-探索的方式设计,其中经验背景引导分析方向,同时系统地介绍研究过程及其步骤。通过这种分析,我认为国家公园被转变为类似于现代主义博物馆的博物馆组织,以通过展示“真实自然”来教育游客为中心,这对如何理解非人类世界具有影响。其中最突出的是拉近了游客与非人类世界的距离。我认为国家公园被转变为类似于现代主义博物馆的博物馆组织,以通过展示“真实自然”来教育游客为中心,这对如何理解非人类世界具有影响。其中最突出的是拉近了游客与非人类世界的距离。我认为国家公园被转变为类似于现代主义博物馆的博物馆组织,以通过展示“真实自然”来教育游客为中心,这对如何理解非人类世界具有影响。其中最突出的是拉近了游客与非人类世界的距离。
