Reshaping the Archive: Exhibition As a Mechanism for Change
RESHAPING THE ARCHIVE: EXHIBITION AS A MECHANISM FOR CHANGE Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester Peter Anthony Lester School of Museum Studies University of Leicester September 2019 ABSTRACT Reshaping the Archive: Exhibition as a mechanism for change Peter Lester This thesis examines the recent phenomenon of physical exhibition-making within archives. It investigates how physical exhibitions are conceived and made in archives and their role in reimagining new ways for audiences to experience archival collections. Situated within a context of increasing digitisation, declining onsite visits to archives and progressively reduced finances, the research more broadly considers the role of exhibition in wider restructurings of archival spaces and organisations. It examines how and why archivists seek to transform the physical experience of being in public archives, thereby making archives more relevant and meaningful to people’s lives. The research uses an interdisciplinary methodology and develops a theoretical framework which draws on the spatial and phenomenological ideas of Henri Lefebvre and Maurice Merleau-Ponty to re-examine archival exhibition practice. The research comprises a broad, international survey of exhibition practice and two detailed case studies. The thesis makes a contribution to knowledge by developing understanding around archive exhibition, based upon a broad yet detailed body of research findings and an innovative theoretical and methodological approach; and has potential impact both in terms of archival theory and practice. The thesis argues that existing discussions of exhibition within archival literature are largely framed through a discourse of justification; whilst exhibition is principally conceived as a form of outreach.

Book of Abstracts
Borders and Crossings 2019 An interdisciplinary conference on travel writing University of Leicester, 4–6 July 2019 www.bordersandcrossings2019.wordpress.com @2019Borders Book of Abstracts This year the regular meeting of scholars from all disciplines interested in questions of travel and travel writing takes place at the University of Leicester, UK, supported by the Midlands4Cities Doctoral Training Partnership, with further support from the University of Leicester School of Arts, and organised by M4C- funded postgraduate researchers. Narratives of journeys, border crossings, and encounters with difference have existed since the earliest beginnings of literary culture – from the Gilgamesh epic, through the accounts of Chinese Buddhist pilgrims in the first millennium CE and the narratives of medieval Muslim travellers in Asia, to tales of exploration and travel in the era of European colonialism, and the emergence of postcolonial, cosmopolitan and postmodern travel writing in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The study of travel writing allows for a vast diversity of approaches and angles, taking in both the deep past, and the pressing contemporary issues of movement, (im)mobility, borders and their crossings. Borders and Crossings 2019 has sought to attract researchers, creative practitioners, travellers and readers, from the broadest possible range of disciplines to explore all of this and more.
