| Title | Making the Writer Visible: the Dostoevsky Museum in St.Petersburg |
| Summary | This project challenges the traditional notion of a museum as a special place that is held by many museum professionals and museum goers, as well as museum sociologists. Instead, it suggests approaching a museum as a set of practices performed by the people who work there. The peculiarity of these practices comes not from some specific qualities of a museum enterprise but from the tools that museum workers have at their disposal. In case of the Dostoevsky Museum such tools are the personal belongings of the writer, by means of which they make such an abstract notion as Dostoevsky’s genius personality visible and their statements about him credible. |
