This chapter analyses the governance dynamics of Italian museum organizations adopting a ‘situationist’ perspective in order to detect: the role played by the actors (e.g. directors/executive) involved in the governance of the National artistic-cultural heritage; the influence of the political system on the conducts of the directors of the museums; the power relations among these actors and the National Institutions. This work proposes a summary of the scientific and political debates. In particular, the political debate is presented through a brief reconstruction of the Italian institutional framework. The analysis of both of debates help us to identify the so-called ‘recurring themes’ that have fed the political agenda and the research hypotheses of major scholars. Finally, the last sections provide a new reading of the dynamics of museums governance by using some conceptual categories of the theoretical ‘situationist’ approach.

Abstract

This chapter analyses the governance dynamics of Italian museum organizations adopting a ‘situationist’ perspective in order to detect: the role played by the actors (e.g. directors/executive) involved in the governance of the National artistic-cultural heritage; the influence of the political system on the conducts of the directors of the museums; the power relations among these actors and the National Institutions. This work proposes a summary of the scientific and political debates. In particular, the political debate is presented through a brief reconstruction of the Italian institutional framework. The analysis of both of debates help us to identify the so-called ‘recurring themes’ that have fed the political agenda and the research hypotheses of major scholars. Finally, the last sections provide a new reading of the dynamics of museums governance by using some conceptual categories of the theoretical ‘situationist’ approach.
