Call for papers for the 10th anniversary of Muséologies Research Journal

10 years of museology: taking stock of concepts and emerging paradigms

The Editor and Editorial Committee of Muséologies invite submissions
for the 10th anniversary special edition, which will focus on the last
decade’s most significant developments in the museum field.

Muséologies is a peer-reviewed publication cutting across the arts
production and the arts scene, the humanities and the social sciences.
Its mandate is to publish and promote interdisciplinary research
centered on the contemporary museum’s multiple functions.

This non-thematic (open) issue will bring together contributions that
report the emergence of new museological concepts or develop a
reflection on the following themes:

- Transculturality and cultural syncretism at work in the museum space;
- The transformation of the collection and the actualization of the
status of the collection object;
-The aims, stakes, scopes and paradoxes of critical exhibitions in the
museum;
- The impact of architecture's new interdisciplinary practices on the
exhibition space;
- The new forms of mediation;
- The development of new technologies and their impact;
- The exhibition of the redocumentarization or the resemantisation of
the archive;
- The museum’s participation in the reinvention of the urban space.

Submission Details: Please send a 600-word proposal as a double-spaced
.doc (Word document) file by email. Include your name, complete contact
information, and the university, museum, or organization that you are
affiliated with. Please use the following subject heading: “Muséologies
Proposal.”
Proposals must be sent before March 30th, 2016, to:
museologies2016@gmail.com

Evaluation: The editor and the editorial committee will analyze your
proposal and will inform you of their decision. Articles will be

selected based on their contribution to the field of museum and
curatorial studies, art history and theory, architecture and urban
theory, or arts and cultural education. The clarity of communication,
the strength of the research and associated methodologies, and the
relationship to the issue’s themes will also be important criteria in
the evaluation.

Authors whose proposals are accepted will develop a 7000-word (approx.)
article (notes and references included) in English or French. Please
note that all articles will be peer-reviewed anonymously.

Expected publication date: spring 2017
