摘要

While current thinking on museums suggests that they can be “contact zones” that have the potential to negotiate the complex, the contentious, and the contested (Macdonald, 2002, McCarthy, 2007, Witcomb, A. (2003). Re-imagining the museum: Beyond the mausoleum. Routledge.), company museums tend to eschew this in favour of sanitised historical truthiness (Yanow, Journal of Management Inquiry 7:215–239, 1998; Nissey and Casey, 2002). In this sense company museums are closer old-fashioned vision of museums as cultural authorities (as considered in Watson et al., A museum studies approach to heritage, Routledge, 2019) which select and curate important artefacts and the knowledge embodied in them; but they are also liminal non-spaces of historicising.
