Secrecy in the collection and mediation practices of two World Wars objects: lessons from a shared survey
Journal Title: ESSACHESS - Journal for Communication Studies - Year 2013, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper focuses on secrecy, observed through the collection and mediation practices of two World Wars objects. The first part of this article examines secrecy through the prism of a survey conducted, on the one hand, by the collector to uncover the secret of the object, and, on the other hand, by us to uncover the secret of its collection. The second part of this contribution focuses on secrecy in the mediation practices of collectors and on the process of revelation and concealment of certain aspects of the exhibits, characterizing those practices. Some reflections on the communication of the results of our personal research are also presented.
