中文摘要

地球這顆行星和全球文明的存續,正面臨各式問題的威脅,大量增加的研究文獻對此提出了嚴重警告以及解決辦法,但博物館卻很少在這些文獻中被提及,這顯示了博物館雖是一種社會機構,和社會之間的關係卻愈來愈遙遠。資本主義支配性意識型態、公共資助博物館的式微,兩者對博物館產生了危險的後果,這個後果的特徵是讓博物館變成一種利益導向的機構。本篇文章說明博物館忽視「守護工作」(stewardship)的不同原因,並舉出在這個工作上表現非常好的幾個案例;本文認為,提高「守護工作」的意識是博物館未來永續的基礎,而實現這種承諾的權力掌握在每一個博物館手裡。當今博物館的意義和目的,迫切需要重新定義,而定義的基礎,在於仔細傾聽生物圈所面臨的議題與挑戰。

英文摘要

The planet earth and global civilization now confront a constellation of issues that threatens the very existence of both. There is a burgeoning literature which offers dire warnings and solutions, but museums are rarely, if ever, mentioned, indicating that the irrelevance of museums as social institutions is a matter of record. The dominant ideology of capitalism and the decline of public funding for museums have produced a harmful result for museums - characterized by the primacy of economic interests in institutional decision-making. Various reasons underlying the neglect of stewardship are examined, as are examples of exceptional museum stewardship. It is argued that a heightened sense of stewardship is the foundation for a sustainable future for museums, and that it is within the grasp of every museum to embrace this commitment. The meaning and purpose of museums are now in need of urgent redefinition, based on deep listening to the issues and challenges that confront the biosphere.
