Position Summary

Advanced Studies in Media and Communication History

This course examines the social, political, and economic role of the museum. Since the creation of the Louvre as the first bourgeois art museum, states, corporations, and private individuals have used museums as a way to create national identity, discipline and control viewing audiences, enhance social prestige or encourage economic development. We will critically survey the literature relevant to these issues with a view to expanding our understanding of the role of the museum in contemporary society.
