Arte, museu, educação: uma integração necessária na superação das tecnologias de controle social

This research aims to reflect on the strategies and mediation used by Oscar Niemeyer and Museum of contemporary art, in Curitiba, and Pinacoteca and Museum of modern art of São Paulo, to approximate audience of art. Recognizes that the gap between the two and that is reflected in the low visitation to art museums is the result of social control technologies historically elaborate and maintained to keep track of who has economic power over others , are people , as in the case of artistic appreciation, or countries, such as what happens with technology.It also presents some possibilities of subversion of this control , which occur especially because the human being creative and interpretive. Finally, it notes that the work carried out by the educational sectors of museums to attract different audiences is very relevant institutions and committed. With regard to teaching materials prepared and distributed to visitors, however, the need for some adjustments so that they communicate better with visitors and contribute, in fact, to deconstruct the idea of the Museum as an elite space and available only to a few privileged.

VET and VET educators : understanding teacher dilemmas in providing quality educational experience to international students in Brisbane

In the past fifteen years, increasing attention has been given to the role of Vocational Education and Training (VET) in attracting large numbers of international students and its contribution to the economic development of Australia. This trend has given rise to many challenges in vocational education, especially with regard to providing quality education that ensures international students’ stay in Australia is a satisfactory experience. Teachers are key stakeholders in international education and share responsibility for ensuring international students gain quality learning experiences and positive outcomes. However, the challenges and needs of these teachers are generally not well understood. Therefore, this paper draws on the dilemmas faced by teachers of international students associated with professional, personal, ethical and educational aspects. This paper reports on a Masters Research project that is designed to investigate the dilemmas that teachers of international students face in VET in Australia, particularly in Brisbane. This study uses a qualitative approach within the interpretive constructivist paradigm to gain real-life insights through responsive interviewing and inductive data analysis. While the data collection has been done, the analysis of data is in progress. Responsive interviews with teachers of VET with different academic and national backgrounds, ages, industry experience have identified particular understandings, ideologies and representations of what it means to be a teacher in today's multicultural VET environment; provoking both resistances and new pedagogical understanding of teacher dilemmas and their work environment through the eyes of teachers of international students. The paper considers the challenges for the VET practitioners within the VET system while reflecting on the theme for the 2011 AVETRA conference, “Research in VET: Janus- Reflecting Back, Projecting Forward” by focusing particularly on “Rethinking pedagogies and pathways in VET work through the voice of VET workers”.

Benevolent Patriotism: Art, Dissent and the American Effect

This article examines the role of contemporary art in a post-9/11 context through The American Effect exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York in 2003. This exhibition displayed a range of artworks from around the world that specifically engaged with, commented upon and interrogated the USA's pre-eminent position as a global superpower. In the politically charged climate after 9/11, the exhibition offered itself as a critical voice amid the more obvious patriotic clamour: it was one of the places where Americans could ask (and answer) the question, `Why do they hate us so much?' Although The American Effect claimed to be a space of dissent, it ultimately failed to question, let alone challenge, US global hegemony. Instead, the exhibition articulated a benevolent patriotism that forced artwork from other nations into supplicating and abject positions, and it obscured the complex discursive networks that connect artists, curators, critics, audiences and art museums.

Le discours muséal à travers l'exposition des collections de quatre musées d'art : Montréal, Québec, Joliette et Sherbrooke

Les musées d’art sont des lieux privilégiés pour contempler les productions artistiques du passé et d’aujourd’hui. En vertu de leur mandat, ceux-ci ont la tâche difficile de concilier leurs fonctions de délectation et d’éducation du public. Certains favorisent une approche plutôt que l’autre, mais tous portent un regard subjectif sur ce qu’ils exposent. Même si les oeuvres semblent être disposées naturellement dans les salles, tout ce qui relève de la conception et de la réalisation des expositions est savamment construit et résulte d’un parti-pris de la part du musée. En fonction de ses choix, c’est-à-dire de ce qu’elle présente ou non et comment elle le fait, l’institution muséale participe à la définition de ce qu’est l’art et influence la signification des oeuvres. En conséquence, chaque musée est producteur d’un discours qui véhicule notamment sa vision de l’histoire de l’art et ses valeurs institutionnelles. Ce discours est produit tant par les écrits qui sont installés auprès des oeuvres que par l’ensemble du dispositif muséographique qui les entoure. Ce mémoire explore, à travers l’analyse comparative de quatre musées des beaux-arts québécois, les éléments constitutifs d’un tel discours ainsi que les relations qui s’instaurent entre les différentes composantes du discours muséal et ce qui est montré dans leurs salles d’exposition.

Les sources de plaisir issues d’oeuvres d’art contemporain dans un contexte muséal

La mission éducative des musées auprès de la société en générale aujourd’hui est incontestable et les musées d’art contemporain sont des endroits importants de formation et de délectation. Cette recherche de maîtrise qui s’inscrit dans le cadre de la recherche Le grand public et l’art contemporain : du rejet au plaisir menée par A.M. Émond et C. Dufresne-Tassé de 2009 à 2014 identifie les sources de plaisir qui peuvent émerger chez les visiteurs de type grand public lors d’une visite à un musée d’art contemporain. Pour ce faire, nous avons analysé 30 discours de visiteurs de type grand public qui ont visité le Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal dans le cadre de la recherche d’Émond et de Dufresne-Tassé. La présente recherche de maîtrise privilégie l’approche qualitative, étant à la fois exploratoire, empirique et fondamentale. Nos résultats ont démontré l’existence de plaisirs qui émergent en fonction de trois grandes catégories (objet muséal, visiteur lui-même et impression générale) et qui se subdivisent en dix-huit sous-catégories. Nous avons décrit chacune de ces catégories et sous-catégories de plaisir à l’aide d’exemples extraits des discours des visiteurs. Cette recherche contribue à l’avancement des connaissances en fournissant aux musées d’art contemporain des indications sur la présence de diverses sources de plaisir dans l’appréciation des visiteurs lors de leur traitement de l’art contemporain. Ainsi, les secteurs éducatifs des musées pourront réinvestir ces résultats de recherche dans l’élaboration de stratégies éducatives muséales destinées à ce public non spécialiste.
