AB - The late 20th century saw a paradigm shift in museum practices: “from the modernist museum as a site of authority to the post-museum as a site of mutuality” (Hooper-Greenhill 2000: xi). New museology, since the 1980s, has sought to redeem its colonial past through collaboration with the communities that were considered “the Other” or at the periphery of the modern empires. It can be assumed that the collaborative turn (Karp and Kratz 2015) also may have affected the representation of Korea. Thus, drawing on Sturge (2007), this paper examines how Korea is “translated” in four selected museums in Britain and the U.S., particularly focusing on the environmental and verbal registers (Whitehead 2012, as cited in Neather 2018).
First, the locations of the Korean galleries in the Western museums are analyzed historically from the perspective of the museums’ overall spatial plans in order to understand Korea’s status. Second, the museums’ linguistic landscape is examined, particularly through their websites, to determine the absence or presence of Korea therein.
With its direct and indirect engagement with the foreign museums, thus more resources for their use, Korea has certainly obtained a greater presence, while there still remain colonial traces from the late 19th to early 20th centuries when the country was largely translated by others.
