GEÇMİŞİ DONDURMAK, GELECEĞİ İNŞA ETMEK: MÜZE ZAMANSALLIĞININ HETEROKRONİK YÜZÜ

Öz

Müzeler, tarih geçmişi koruyan ve sergileyen kurumlar olarak algılanmaktadır. Bu makale, Fransız düşünür Michel Foucault’nun heterotopya kavramı ve heterotopyaların belirleyici özelliklerinden biri olarak sunduğu heterokroni ilkesini bir başlangıç noktası kabul eder. Modern müzelerde hâkim olan müzeolojik zamanın geçmişe yönelimli yapısını işaret ettikten sonra müzelerin heterokronik heterotopyalar olarak zamanı tüm yönleriyle nasıl kapsayabileceğini sorarak müze zamansallığını tartışmaya açarak eleştirel müze teorisine katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır.

FREEZING THE PAST, CONSTRUCTING THE FUTURE: THE HETEROCHRONIC FACE OF MUSEUM TEMPORALITY

Öz

Museums are generally perceived as institutions that preserve and exhibit historical pasts. Taking as its starting point the concept of heterotopia formulated by French philosopher Michel Foucault and the principle of heterochrony he identifies as one of the defining characteristics of heterotopias, this article initially highlights the past-oriented structure of museological temporality dominant in modern museums. Subsequently, it interrogates how museums, as heterochronic heterotopias, might encompass temporality in all its dimensions. By opening museum temporality to critical examination, this paper aims to contribute to critical museum theory.
