Отново за Новата музеология: теоретични обрати и влияния
Once More on The New Museology: Theoretical Turns and Influences

Summary/Abstract: The following paper attempts a summarized overview of the theoretical transfers and influences thathave permeated museology since the 1980s. Borrowed from various theoretical fields of the social sciences and the humanities, these ideas brought along a number of intensive critical developments in museum theory and practice, known in museological discourse as the „New Museology“.The author‘s aim is to draw attention to the deeper foundations of the „revolution“ that the New Museology prefigured in the 1990s, and to trace the trajectories that the concept subsequently took to evolve into the currently relevant understandings of „critical“ and „post-critical“ museology. The thesis is structured around three key concepts, albeit in a completely different order, to which most of the arguments of the New Museology, understood as „critical“ museology, can be added– museum object, museum narrative and „power/knowledge“ (according to Foucault). Due to its limited volume, the following paper only points out the trends in museum practices resulting from the shift in the theoretical paradigm, without dwelling on specific examples. Last but not least, with this text the author implicitly tries to argue the necessity of a reform and an update in the theoretical museology education in our country, guided by the conviction that only a change in thinking about museums would lead to a change in museum practices
