          CALL FOR PAPERS


          The Museum Reader:
          what practices should 21st century Museums pursue, how and why?



          An International Conference
          09 – 10 March 2017


          Museu Nacional de Arte Contemporânea – Museu do Chiado, Lisbon



          The international conference The Museum Reader, organised by
          the Art History Institute of the Faculty of Social and Human
          Sciences of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa and the National
          Museum of Contemporary Art – Museu do Chiado, aims to propose
          thematic lines and noteworthy points to stimulate thought,
          reflection and debate of new realities, practices and working
          conditions identified in museums in the 21stcentury. Its
          purpose is to analyse and systematise new methods and
          paradigms, trends and different practices and ways of
          imagining the role of art institutions in the context of the
          present-day art scene.


          There will be particular emphasis on the following themes:


          · Museums in the transition from the 20thto the 21stcentury


          · The museum and the neoliberal concept of culture


          · The paradigmatic transformations of art institutions in the
          context of the current social, economic and political order


          · Institutional critique as investigation of the framework and
          functioning of art institutions


          · The museum as a place of negotiation and conflict


          · The potential of institutions and the new institutional
          sphere: new Institutionalism, radical museology, critical
          museology


          · Critique and experimentation in art institutions


          · Institutional and non-institutional practices within the museum


          · Challenges for museums and art institutions inside new art
          practices


          · The future identity of art institutions


          Abstracts (of no more than 300 words), accompanied by a short
