NordMedia 2013

NordMedia 2013
Welcome to the 21st Nordmedia conference, 8th-11th August 2013!
The conference will be held in Oslo and is hosted by Institute for Journalism and Media Studies, Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences and the Norwegian Association of Media Scholars.

Come celebrate 40 Years of Media Research in the Nordic Countries!

Conference theme:
Defending Democracy: Nordic and Global Diversities in Media and Journalism
Few will argue against the potentially democratic role of journalism. However, media and journalism do not automatically promote democracy. The ambiguous relationship between journalism and democracy is – in our digital age – further blurred by the proliferation of non-edited and personal media, such as blogs, twitter and other social media with allegedly democratic potential. The Nordmedia 2013 conference will focus on the relationship between journalism and other media practices and democracy in a Nordic and Global perspective, by asking questions such as:

- What roles do media and journalism play in democratization processes and what role should they play?

- What are the relationship between media practices, journalism and democracy?

- How do Nordic media meet the challenges of increasingly diversified societies?

NEW BOOK BY BRUNO INGEMANN: Present on site. Transforming Exhibitions and Museums

Present on Site

Present on Site. Transforming Exhibitions and Museums

Why are exhibitions and museums so important? What can they be used for? Who determines relevance in a transformative process?

Transforming exhibitions is not just something you do, it is something that gets better the more you do it. This book looks at the intersection of the visitor or user, who gets personal and cultural meaning from their visit and the museum as it appears in the design of the exhibition. It examines on-site communication for intentional and hidden content and messages, and reveals possible relations to the visitor, his or her world and society in general. This investigation also focuses on the processes involved in interpretation and design and takes a closer look at the practices of exhibiting rather than the objects on display. The four main themes in the book are:

• Constructions – The visitor at an exhibition

• Questions – Experience and learning processes

• Invisibles – The exhibition design processes

• Openings – Category, objects and communication

Present on site is relevant not only for students and researchers in the field of museum communication, media and design studies, but also for exhibition and museum practitioners.

As a researcher and associate professor of visual communication at Roskilde University, Denmark and as a designer and media artist in his own right, author Bruno Ingemann, PhD, also represents an intersection. A pioneer in Danish museology and in visitor reception studies, he co-edited the anthology New Danish Museology.

Present on Site brings new attention to the complex and intriguing world of interpretation in museum settings. Using a variety of compelling case studies and theories from education, media, and cultural studies, Ingemann weaves diverse perspectives to the critical issues of visitor perception and reception and the challenges involved as curators and designers attempt to mediate and influence experience. The result is a delightful and refreshingly personal exposé of key museological issues that face museum practitioners daily.

- Associate Director Karen Knutson, University of Pittsburgh

This is an important, useful, well-designed and well-written book. Ingemann insightfully argues for the importance of inspirational places in a world mediated by television and digital technologies, by showing how museums link past and present, time and space. He takes on complex, difficult, and controversial issues, and explains them clearly. What happens when visitors become curators? What happens when the familiar meets the new, when the invisible is made visible? As he shows, it results in changing visitors’ perceptions, conversations, and confidence. Museums can change our lives, the things we make and discuss, and the world as a whole.
