While previous scholarship has studied the Mausoleum’s place within the canon of classical Greek art, this paper identifies specifically local perceptions of the monument through interviews with residents of Bodrum, exploring how different images, values and futures are projected onto the archaeological site, in conversation with both national and local discourses of the past. The responses of local inhabitants, living in an Aegean town dramatically transformed by mass tourism, urbanisation and migration, encompass being underwhelmed, pragmatically interested in the monument’s economic potential, or proud of its status, fuelled by the local discourses of “Blue Anatolianism” and “Karianism”. We argue that these influential discourses allow different heritage actors to turn the Mausoleum into a specif...

We argue that these influential discourses allow different heritage actors to turn the Mausoleum into a specific kind of locally rooted “heritage capital” and to negotiate a distinctive identity for the monument’s otherwise ambiguous position within the landscape of Turkish national heritage.

At the same time museology was strengthened at the universities and since then research, education and museum practices have been focusing on improving the role of museums for visitors and for society.

Det er blot to af de mange driftige forretningsmaend, der støttede eller ligefrem idémaessigt stod bag de danske kunstmuseer, som danskerne i dag opfatter som den største selvfølge (Hans Dam Christensen 2012). Det gaelder også for en lang raekke kulturhistoriske museer, hvor et velud-NORDISK MUSEOLOGI 2013 • 1, S. 106-124 dannet borgerskab i museumsforeninger ogbestyrelser spillede en yderst aktiv rolle. 2 Uden private midler og engagement ville det danske museumslandskab af i dag med andre ord se ganske anderledes ud.

De er gudinder for inspiration og har den saerlige egenskab, at de er al vidende. I den antikke litteratur opfattes muserne skiftevis som individer og som en enhed, hvor man altså kan søge viden, eller inspiration, om alt fra historie over digtning og dans til verdensrummet. Denne bredde i forståelsen af, hvad museerne rummer, kan man følge i de begreber og diskussioner, der definerer museologien som moderne vidensfelt. Man kan fx laegge maerke til, at ordet muse um ikke er et beskyttet begreb, men både i dansk og international sammenhaeng bruges i flaeng om meget forskellige store og små offentlige institutioner såvel som private virksomheder. Organisationen Danske Museer vurderede i 2010, at der fandtes omkring 600 museer i Danmark, men kun 187 indgår i den årlige be søgsstatistik udarbejdet af Danmarks Statistik, og lige omkring 100 er statslige eller statsanerkendte og modtager støtte efter den danske museumslov. 1 I dag lig tale daekker 'museum' altså over Nationalmuseet, Skagen Bamsemuseum og Grundfos Museum, uagtet at det ene er forpligtet på at tilgodese hele Danmarks kulturarv, mens det andet primaert daekker over en butik og det tredje er en del af en privat virksomhed og har til formål at formidle virksomhedens egen historie. I forlaengelse heraf er udgangspunktet for denne bog også museologiens em piriske og teoretiske mangfoldighed. Dog handler antologien ikke først og fremmest om de mange forskellige museer, der findes, og deres organisatoriske forskelle samt institutionelle betingelser, men om hvordan forskellige fagfaglig heder bidrager til talrige museologiske processer i vores samfund-både dem, der foregår i museumsinstitutioner og andre steder som fx arkiver og bibliote ker. Det er således en pointe med bogen at fremhaeve det tvaervidenskabelige og
