“…Recent scholarship focussing on exhibition design suggest a growing interest in the need to develop conceptual models that will explain and address aspects of exhibition experience that are marginalised by textual or narrative models. Rather than conceiving of exhibitions as a form of "storytelling," they entertain conceptual models that reference scenography, spectacle and the creation of dramatic intensities (Crawley, 2012;Bruce, 2006;Skolnick, 2012), and characterise exhibitions as labyrinthine or prismatic (Basu, 2007;Peñ a Ovalle, 2009) spaces of navigation (Hillier & Tzortzi, 2007). Such discussions often take for granted the role of media, looking at it not as something that operates in isolation but as part of a complex of forces at play in shaping and reshaping display conventions in ways that are dynamic, nonlinear and reconfigurable.…”

Museums today find themselves within a mediatised society, where everyday life is conducted in a data-full and technology-rich context. In fact, museums are themselves mediatised: they present a uniquely media-centred environment, in which communicative media is a constitutive property of their organisation and of the visitor experience. The Routledge Handbook of Museums, Media and Communication explores what it means to take mediated communication as a key concept for museum studies and as a sensitising lens for media-related museum practice on the ground.Including contributions from experts around the world, this original and innovative Handbook shares a nuanced and precise understanding of media, media concepts and media terminology, rehearsing new locations for writing on museum media and giving voice to new subject alignments. As a whole, the volume breaks new ground by reframing mediated museum communication as a resource for an inclusive understanding of current museum developments.The Routledge Handbook of Museums, Media and Communication will appeal to students and scholars, as well as to practitioners involved in the visioning, design and delivery of mediated communication in the museum. It teaches us not just how to study museums, but how to go about being a museum in today's world.

R e s u m e nInformada por teorías sobre corporeización, investigaciones regionales sobre el parentesco, y nociones del espacio social, este artículo presenta un modelo etnográfico del sabor. Más que el ejercicio práctico de la ideología doméstica, el sabor influye la mentalidad, la sociabilidad y la espacialidad. Es una conciencia sensual centrada en gozar, aprender y compartir. Como una intervención epistemológica, se desestabiliza al concepto de gusto como racional y fijo y se lo reubica como encarnado y personal y aun así social y dinámico. El parentesco es el modo primario para la construcción del sabor; de este modo, las madres, hermanas, hijas, nueras, vecinas y amigas son socias en el ciclo de cuidado familiar y la búsqueda del sabor. Además, mientras se subvierten las divisiones sociales y espaciales entre cuerpo y mente, doméstico y público, local y global, el sabor se abre el camino para repensar las nociones del espacio social y sus fronteras. [comida/nutrición, género, México, parentesco, teoría] A b s t r a c tThis article presents sabor as a food-based worldview prevalent in the Mexico-U.S. borderlands. Informed by studies of embodiment, scholarship on regional kinship patterns, and notions of social space, I use interviews with a key informant to present an ethnographic model of taste. More than the practical exercise of domestic ideology, sabor constructs consciousness, sociality, and spatiality. It is a sensual awareness focusing on relishing, mastering, and sharing. As an epistemological intervention, it destabilizes taste as rational and fixed and relocates it as embodied and personal yet social and dynamic. Kinship is the primary mode for the construction of sabor and mothers,
