PRESENTACIÓN
The emphasis on the social role of museums dates back to the late 1960's and early 1970’s, within the so-called “new museology” and the Santiago de Chile round table, which for many constitutes the symbolic founding event of the community oriented approach. From then onwards museums accentuating their community orientation, often linked to significant territorial dimensions. In more recent years, territorial approaches tended to increasingly focus in landscapes as a whole, in such a way that a new concept of “Extended Museum” emerged from the most recent General Conference of ICOM (Milan, 2016). This spread in all azimuths is not without troubles: for many museums are seen as a sort of imperialistic catchall device, claiming to be in conditions to substitute all aggregation empowering tools. When arriving here, the entire definitions of “museum”, “landscape” and “community” are questionable. What does exactly the irreducible identity of museums do if they pretend to do and to be what others can and in fact also are? What allows for landscapes to be seen as museums managed constructions? Which communities are museums specifically addressing to, since the term is widely used at all levels, from continental political or economic constructs to the narrowest aggregations, based hobbyist affinities.
The presentations, by invited speakers only, will address either general, historical, theoretical or conceptual issues or cases-studies that can illustrate and problematize the previously expressed questions.
