O segundo número da Museum Worlds – Advances in Research acaba de ser publicado.
Museum Worlds é revista multidisciplinar na área da museologia, cujo primeiro número saiu em 2013. Em inglês e com arbitragem científica, a revista pretende dar conta das grandes tendências no mundo dos museus, tanto a partir do mundo académico como das práticas museológicas. É publicada através de Berghahn Journals e, portanto, de acesso condicionado. Tem como editoras-chefe Sandra Dudley (Universidade de Leicester) e Kylie Message (Universidade Nacional Australiana). Alice Semedo, professora da Universidade do Porto no curso de museologia faz parte do comité editorial, juntamente com Mary Bouquet, Lynne Teather, Joshua A. Bell, Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh e Ciraj Rassool.
O segundo número é recheado. Destacam-se duas contribuições portuguesas, a de Alice Semedo com o relatório “Museum Mediators in Europe: Connecting Learning in a Field of Experience” e Nélia Dias (ISCTE-IUL) com uma análise crítica do livro “Colonial Collecting and Display: Encounters with Material Culture from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands”.
No website da Museum Worlds, apenas estão disponíveis os resumos dos textos: http://berghahn.publisher.ingentaconnect.com/
