本文探讨了公共展览挑战长期以来对探索和地理历史的假设的潜力。“探索的隐藏历史”展览最初于2009年举行,是基于皇家地理学会广泛收藏的历史研究,包括手稿、书籍、地图和地图集、手工艺品、艺术品、摄影和电影。该展览旨在揭示土著人民和中间人在勘探历史中的作用,特别是在招聘导游、翻译、搬运工和飞行员方面。通过强调并在某种程度上庆祝这些人的作用,它试图提出关于在标准的探索叙述中,特别是从大都市的角度来看,什么是可见的,什么是模糊的问题。然而,研究和展览之间的关系绝不是单向的,正如“传播”和“产出”的语言所暗示的那样:在举办展览的过程中,人们对展览所依赖的档案结构提出了疑问,同时也促使人们进一步反思在遗产中恢复“隐藏历史”的工作所采用的传记模式。部门特别关注的是与设计师的合作对展览中材料的展示和解释的影响。本文重点讨论了展览空间中反映的三种设计策略:“角色反转”(庆祝中介的角色,并将探索者呈现为依赖者);“并列”(强调伙伴关系和地理知识共同生产的重要性);以及“重新缩放”(将匿名档案碎片转化为真正的人类历史文件)。
This paper addresses the potential of public exhibitions to challenge long taken‐for‐granted assumptions about the history of exploration and geography. The Hidden Histories of Exploration exhibition, originally held in 2009, was based on historical research in the Royal Geographical Society’s extensive collections, including manuscripts, books, maps and atlases, artefacts, artworks, photography and film. The exhibition was designed to reveal the agency of indigenous peoples and intermediaries in the history of exploration, as reflected especially in the recruitment of guides, interpreters, porters and pilots. By highlighting and to some extent celebrating the role of such individuals, it sought to prompt questions about what is made visible and what is obscured in standard narratives of exploration, especially when seen from a metropolitan perspective. However, the relationship between research and exhibition was by no means one‐way, as is implied by the language of ‘dissemination’ and ‘output’: the process of bringing the exhibition into being raised questions about the structure of the archives on which the exhibition depended, as well as prompting further reflection on the biographical mode in which the work of recovery of ‘hidden histories’ is often conceived in the heritage sector. Particular attention is devoted to the impact of collaboration with designers on the presentation and interpretation of materials in the exhibition. The paper focuses on three design strategies reflected in the exhibition space: ‘role reversal’ (celebrating the role of intermediaries and presenting the explorers as dependent); ‘juxtaposition’ (emphasising the importance of partnership and the co‐production of geographical knowledge); and ‘re‐scaling’ (transforming anonymous archival fragments into documents of a truly human history).
