KÜRESEL PERSPEKTİFTEN GÖÇ MÜZELERİ: TEMA KURAMLARI VE SERGİLEME YÖNTEMLERİ ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME

Öz

Bu makale, müzecilik kavramını küresel perspektiften göç müzelerinin tema kuramları ve sergileme yöntemlerini teorik açıdan derinlemesine incelemektedir. Göç, dünya üzerinde insan hareketliliğinin yayılmasıdır. İnsanlar tarih boyunca kültürel, ekonomik ve toplumsal değişimler sebepiyle göç etmişler ve göç etmeye devam etmektedirler. Göç müzeleri, göçmenlerin yaşadıklarını yansıtarak ev sahibi ülke vatandaşları ve göçmenlerin hikayeleri ile bellek oluşumuna katkıda bulunan, kültürlerarası entegrasyonu sağlayan, düzenleyen ve toplumsal farkındalığı güçlendiren önemli kurumlardır. Araştırmanın amacı, müzecilik alanında sektöre ışık tutmak ve başarılı örnekleri kapsamlı olarak değerlendirerek sektöre sunmaktır. Dolayısıyla, bu çalışma, küresel göç müzelerinde anlatılan kuramlar ve çeşitli sergileme yöntemlerini, sektör paydaşlarına önemli örneklerle sunmayı hedeflemektedir. Çalışma, göç müzelerindeki temsil pratiklerini postkolonyal kuram, diaspora ve hafıza çalışmaları ile yerinden edilme kuramları çerçevesinde, derin literatür taraması ile teorik olarak analiz etmektedir. Ellis Island National Immigration Museum (ABD), Deutsches Auswandererhaus (Almanya), Migration Museum (Avustralya), Pier 21 (Kanada) ve Migration Museum (İngiltere) örnekleri üzerinden, etnografik rekonstrüksiyonlar, Sanal Gerçeklik (VR), Artırılmış Gerçeklik (AR) deneyimleri, çeşitli katılımcı kreasyonlar ve multimedya hikâye anlatımı gibi sergileme yöntemleri incelenmektedir. Sonuç olarak, göç müzelerinin küresel müzecilik alanında önemli bir konumda bulundukları ve etik sorumlulukları olduğu vurgulanmaktadır.

MIGRATION MUSEUMS FROM A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE: A STUDY OF THEMATIC THEORIES AND EXHIBITION METHODS

Öz

This article examines the concept of museology from a global perspective, exploring thematic theo-ries and exhibition methods of migration museums from a theoretical perspective. Migration is the expansion of human mobility across the globe. Throughout history, people have migrated and conti-nue to migrate due to cultural, economic, and social changes. Migration museums are important insti-tutions that reflect the experiences of migrants, contribute to memory formation through the stories of host country citizens and migrants, facilitate intercultural integration, organize, and strengthen social awareness. The aim of this research is to shed light on the museology sector and present successful examples to the sector through a comprehensive evaluation. Therefore, this study aims to present key examples of the theories and various exhibition methods employed in global migration museums to sector stakeholders. This study theoretically analyzes representational practices in migration mu-seums through an in-depth literature review, drawing on postcolonial theory, diaspora and memory studies, and displacement theories. Exhibition methods such as ethnographic reconstructions, Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) experiences, various participatory creations, and multimedia storytelling are examined through examples from the Ellis Island National Immigration Museum (USA), Deutsches Auswandererhaus (Germany), Migration Museum (Australia), Pier 21 (Canada), and Migration Museum (UK). Consequently, the study emphasizes the significant role of migration mu-seums in the global museology field and their ethical responsibilities.
