Abstract
Where are the girls who made history? What evidence have they left behind? Are there places and spaces that bear witness to their memory?
Girl Museum was founded in 2009 to address these questions, among many others. Established by art historian Ashley E. Remer, whose work revealed that most, if not all, museums never explicitly discuss or center girls and girlhood, Girl Museum was envisioned as a virtual space dedicated to researching, analyzing, and interpreting girl culture across time and space. Over its first ten years, we produced a wide range of art in historical and cultural exhibitions that explored conceptions of girlhood and the direct experiences of girls in the past and present. Led by an Advisory Board of scholars and entirely reliant on volunteers and donations, we grew from a small website into a complex virtual museum of exhibitions, projects, and programs that welcomes an average 50,000 visitors per year from around the world.
创造历史的女孩们在哪里?他们留下了什么证据?有地方和空间可以见证他们的记忆吗?女孩博物馆成立于2009年,旨在解决这些问题,以及其他许多问题。由艺术历史学家Ashley E. Remer创建的女孩博物馆被设想为一个虚拟空间,致力于研究、分析和解释跨越时间和空间的女孩文化,她的工作表明,大多数(如果不是全部的话)博物馆从未明确讨论或关注女孩和少女时代。在最初的十年里,我们在历史和文化展览中制作了广泛的艺术作品,探索了少女时代的概念以及过去和现在女孩的直接经历。在一个学者顾问委员会的领导下,我们完全依靠志愿者和捐赠,从一个小网站发展成为一个复杂的虚拟博物馆,拥有展览、项目和项目,每年平均接待来自世界各地的50,000名游客。
期刊介绍:
Girlhood Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal is a peer-reviewed journal providing a forum for the critical discussion of girlhood from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, and for the dissemination of current research and reflections on girls'' lives to a broad, cross-disciplinary audience of scholars, researchers, practitioners in the fields of education, social service and health care and policy makers. International and interdisciplinary in scope, it is committed to feminist, anti-discrimination, anti-oppression approaches and solicits manuscripts from a variety of disciplines. The mission of the journal is to bring together contributions from and initiate dialogue among perspectives ranging from medical and legal practice, ethnographic inquiry, philosophical reflection, historical investigations, literary, cultural and media research to curriculum design and policy-making. Topics addressed within the journal include girls and schooling, girls and feminism, girls and sexuality, girlhood in the context of Boyhood Studies, girls and new media and popular culture, representation of girls in different media, histories of girlhood, girls and development.
