Izazovi nove muzeologije u prezentaciji i interpretaciji disonantnog nasleđa

Abstract

Svega je nekoliko država u modernom svetu koje nisu nastale kao posledica nasilja i iz sukoba. Iza tih događaja ostala su materijalna svedočanstva i usmena predanja, ali u nauci još nije postignut konsenzus oko toga treba li ih uopšte sačuvati, a kamoli na koji način prezentovati i tumačiti. Ovaj rad se bavi izazovima i preprekama koje pred novu muzeologiju stavlja upravljanje ovakvom baštinom. Akcenat na ličnom doživljaju i participaciji, bavljenje aktuelnim, životnim temama i nedaćama, deinstitucionalizacija, izlazak u prostor, popularizacija sadržaja, decentralizacija, angažovanje zainteresovanih lokalnih zajednica i samim tim društva u celini - sve su to elementi na kojima se nova muzeologija bazira već bezmalo pola veka. No naći pravu meru i obezbediti sistemsku, metodološku primenu uvođenjem određenih standarda - tu je izazov. Dosadašnji princip - sve može, a ništa ne mora - nije dao rezultate. Zato je na muzeolozima da budu, u neku ruku, arbitri i da motivišu, koordiniraju i vode lokalne zajednice u naporima da se svaki sloj disonantnog nasleđa sačuva od zaborava.

There are only a few countries in the modern world that have not been established as a result of violence and conflict. Material evidence and oral traditions remained after these events, but science has not yet reached a consensus on whether they should be kept, let alone on how to present and interpret them. This paper deals with the challenges and obstacles that management of such heritage puts in front of the new museology. The emphasis on the personal experience and participation, addressing current, existential issues and hardships, deinstitutionalization, stepping out to open spaces, popularization of the content, decentralization, involvement of the local communities and therefore society as a whole - all of these are elements on which the new museology has been based for nearly half a century. The challenge lies in finding the right balance and ensuring systematic, methodological applications with the introduction of certain standards. So far, the principle - all is possible and nothing is a must - has failed to achieve results. It is up to the museologists to be arbitrators of sorts and to motivate, coordinate and lead local communities in the efforts to preserve each layer of dissonant heritage from oblivion.
