ALiteratureReviewonNarrativeResearchinMuseums：AlsoDiscussingCoreIssuesofStorytellinginMuseums

Li Mingqian

Abstract:Narratology developed from western literature studies in the early 20th century, and was applied in the field of museum studies in the 1990s. So far, fruitful results have been achieved. China has begun to discuss narrative research in museums since 2000, and experienced three stages of development. These researches focused on “storytelling” in museums, and have made some progress in the unique characteristics, important effects, construction methods and context studies. On the whole, however, there are still challenges in understanding and applying narratology theories and the lack of macro thoughts.

TheNarrativeMethodUsedin“Storytelling”Exhibition:AnAnalysisBasedon“StoryandDiscourse”Theory

Gao Yuna

Abstract:In recent years, the concept of “storytelling” has been widely used in museum exhibitions developing. “Storytelling” is a classical way of narration, which means telling a story in a vivid and interesting way. Taking “storytelling” exhibitions as the main research subjects, this article divides the whole exhibition planning process into two stages by using “Story-Discourse” theory from narratology. And the question of how to integrate the narrative method into“storytelling” exhibitions was also discussed in this article.

Xu Jie

Abstract:The development of display technology provides various possibilities for museums to show science and technology. However, refining and interpreting scientific culture, which include the scientific spirit, scientific thought, scientific method, and scientific values, are not just technology issues. As one type of scientific culture, engineering culture is explored deeply by the Engineering Culture Museum at the Heilongjiang Institute of Technology, through plotting, reconstruction of the context of exhibits, and different levels of participatory during their curatorial practices, as well as deepen the development of engineering technology, therefore ultimately lead to spread scientific knowledge and culture.

ADiscussionontheEnlightenmentfromVisitor-CenteredCuratorialPractice:Under the perspective of“Edu-curator” in the U.S.A

Wang Siyi

Abstract:As the role of education becomes more and more important in museums, museum shows a strong emphasis on it by developing and offering a variety of educational programs. But it is noteworthy that educational elements of exhibitions are not effectively presented or failed to interconnect with educational programs. Educators have been always excluded from the curating teams, which led to difficulties of realizing the educational value of exhibitions in China. The vision of combining exhibition with education is still a long-term task. The concept of Edu-curator was first proposed in the 2017 Annual Meeting of American Alliance of Museums. Since then, various social elites, such as educators, participants of exhibition designing, have gradually contributed to the formation and popularization of visitor-centered cooperative curating modes among American museums. This phenomenon provides a useful reference and practical enlightenment to domestic museums.

ResearchReviewonExhibitionsDevelopedbyLiteratureCollectionInstitutions:IntroductionandInfluenceoftheRelevanceStudyofMuseology

Zhou Jingjing

Abstract:Exhibitions, as one of the highlights of information utilization and service innovation offered by literature collection institutions, have attracted a large audience with features of visualization, vividness and sense of experience. And exhibition has gradually become the core business in literature collection institutions and showed a broad development prospect in recent years. However, many literatures are displayed directly or nested in exhibitions of general history. Consequently, the most valuable internal information of literatures has not been interpreted, transformed and presented, which leads to the less significant effect of the exhibitions on information utilization and services innovation. Accordingly, this paper will break the boundary of museum research and take literature exhibitions from different collection institutions as research objects. An academic history review, which was on researches of literature exhibitions in different institutions and of different disciplines, has been conducted. Based on such review, the research trends have been analyzed and the research space has been explored to figure out key problems. This paper advocates the introduction of correlation analysis on exhibition in the field, and gets inspiration from academic achievements in museology that lays an objective foundation for focusing on and discussing the common problems of literature exhibitions.

AResearchonMappingKnowledgeDomainsofEducationalActivitiesinScience andTechnologyMuseumsfromthePerspectiveofInternatioanlComparison

Li Jia Chen Yi Qiao Cuilan Cui Hong

Abstract:Educational activities in science and technology museums is a critical approach for the realization of their educational function. By taking CNKI and Web of Science as data resources, this article applied CiteSpace, the knowledge mapping software, to analyze literatures on the topic of educational programs in science and technology museums. The results show the same research tendency of development in China and foreign countries. The main topics of both sides are new media application, activity design and the integration of STEM ideas, and differences exist in many aspects, including research concept, period, content, and methods. The focuses of future research will be technology integration, activity design optimization, audience and learning result research, school-museum cooperation and professional development of exhibition staff as well.

BiologicalGroupsInvolvedandCorrosionProcessofAncientWoodenShipwreckRelics

Xie Meng

Abstract:The wooden relics excavated from marine archaeological site suffer much more biological diseases than the ones from land. Owing to the development of ocean engineering and the exploration of “Nanhai No.1” shipwreck relics, we classify the organisms that caused the corrosion of ancient wooden shipwrecks into three categories: marine plants, marine animals and marine microorganisms. The corrosion process of ship hull mainly consist of three stages: in the first stage, biofilm is formed on the solid phase surface of ship hull; In the second stage, larvae of large fouling organisms are attached to biofilm formed in the earlier stage; In the third stage, the organism community tends to be stable and the wood parts of ship hull degrades gradually. In the process of shipwreck corrosion, different biological groups coexist together or parasitize to form a dynamic balance. Therefore, the bioremediation of the wood shipwreck relics should be carried out under the condition of ensuring the stability of the biological community, avoiding the secondary damage caused by the rapid development of a single species population to the wood relics.

ANewPerspectivetoDefineandMeasureVisitorExperience:A Review of Packer and Ballantyne’s Article

Zhao Xingyu

Abstract:Visitor experience is the core “product” provided by museums and other institutions to visitors. However, at present, there are still some difficulties in how to define and measure the visitor experience. To address this issue, Jane packer and Roy Ballantyne, who are from the University of Queensland in Australia, have redefined the visitor experience from a broader perspective and on the base of the literature on museum visitor studies and leisure tourism researches. Meanwhile, a multifaceted model of visitor experience is proposed to describe and measure the visitor experience. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce these two important conclusions of their article and discuss the visitor experience in China furthermore by applying these conclusions.

Abstract:Undergoing a long process of development，humans have entered the information age represented by computers. And the invention and development of calculators have played a key role during this process. As a landmark invention, Leibniz calculator can not only perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of four basic arithmetic operations, but also truly realizes the calculating automation. Its design idea of core components have led the development of mechanical calculation in the following 200 years. Therefore, it is important to study the design concepts, core components, methods of use, internal structure, and carrying methods of Leibniz calculators. And these researches can help us to understand the history of human exploration for computing automation.
