Abstract
The debates on the interpretation of art that developed in the field of art theory and criticism beginning in the 1960s have influenced the theory and practice of museum education and questioned traditional practices. As a consequence, in recent years, there has been a radical redefinition of the role the viewer must play in interpreting works and exhibitions. The article discusses how and to what extent this turn towards visitor/learner agency in the interpretation has affected educational discourses and practices at Tate Britain gallery. This study is part of a wider investigation analysing how different agents involved in school programmes at Tate Britain conceive of art and interpretation.
Los debates sobre la interpretaciĆ³n del arte desarrollados en el campo de la teorĆa y crĆtica del arte a principios de los aƱos 60 han influido la teorĆa y prĆ”ctica de la educaciĆ³n museĆstica poniendo en cuestiĆ³n practicas tradicionales. Como consecuencia, en los Ćŗltimos aƱos, se ha dado una radical redefiniciĆ³n del rol que el visitante debe jugar en la interpretaciĆ³n de obras y exposiciones. El artĆculo discute cĆ³mo y hasta quĆ© punto este giro hacia el protagonismo del visitante en la interpretaciĆ³n ha influido los discursos y prĆ”cticas de la galerĆa Tate Britain. El estudio es parte de una mĆ”s amplia investigaciĆ³n que analiza cĆ³mo los diferentes agentes involucrados en los programas escolares de la Tate Britain conciben el arte y la interpretaciĆ³n.
