The Dramaturgy of 'Experience-Oriented' Museums - A Mixed Methods Study on the Changes of Forms of Distinction in the Interplay of Providing and Acquiring Culture

研究分析了博物馆的变化过程是否与博物馆开展的区分形式的变化过程相关。重点在于博物馆面临的两个主要挑战：增加对游客体验的定位，以及使博物馆更容易为更广泛的观众所接受。博物馆是否失去了其（复杂的）文化区分功能？这些传统的区分形式是稳定的，还是可以观察到新的形式？在特定类型的博物馆中可以观察到哪些形式？哪些条件是发展新形式所必需的？本研究特别关注提供文化维度与获取文化维度的相互关系。首先，通过关注主要由房间布置和文化舞台提供的区分可能性。第二个兴趣点集中在游客的实践上，并询问这与不同形式的区分在多大程度上是相关的。《社会不平等社会学》和《文化社会学》（参考布迪厄）的研究结果构成了研究的主要基础。除了以应用为导向的研究（这是一个主导的视角）之外，该研究还将从行动学的角度来研究文化实践与社会不平等再生产之间关系的变化。混合方法设计开辟了将定性方法（对房间的观察、对管理层的访谈）与定量方法（对来访者的观察和询问）相结合来分析文化获取的可能性。此外，来自定性数据的发现被应用于细化纳入定量分析的类别。分析的基础是比较，案例内部比较和案例外部比较。分析的目的是重构博物馆的体验取向和特色类型，并从社会变迁的角度得出文化领域特色实践的结论。

The study analyzes, if changing processes in museums are interrelated to changing processes in forms of distinction carried out in museums. The focus lies on two main challenges for museums: an increase of orientation on the experience of visitors and on making museums more accessible to a wider audience. Do museums lose their function of (sophisticated) cultural distinction? Are these traditional forms of distinction stabilized or can new forms be observed - in general? And which forms can be observed in specific types of museum? Which terms are necessary for new forms to develop?Particularly, the study is interested in the interrelation between the dimension of providing and acquiring culture. Firstly, by focusing on the possibilities for distinction that are provided mainly by arrangements of rooms and staging of culture. The second point of interest focuses the visitors practice and asks in how far this is relevant in situ for different forms of distinction. Findings from Sociology of Social Inequality and of Culture - in reference to Bourdieu - form the main basis of the research. Besides application-oriented research - which is a dominant perspec-tive - the study will bring in a praxeological perspective on changes in the relation of cultural practices and reproduction of social inequality.A mixed methods design opens up the possibility to combine qualitative methods (observation of rooms, interviews with management) to analyze the providing of culture with quantitative methods (observation and inquiring of visitors) to analyze the acquisition of culture. Furthermore, findings from qualitative data are applied to sharpen categories that are brought into quantitative analyses. The analysis is based on comparison, case-internal and case-external comparisons. The aim of analysis is to reconstruct types of experience-orientation and of distinction in museum, and to reach conclusion about practices of distinction in area of culture, with regard to social change.
