This book offers an interactionist perspective on theories of public representation, knowledge and immigration in museum institutions. The author proposes a microsociological contextualisation analysis integrating discourse analysis and ethnography to compare formats of museum work, social interaction in the exhibition and mass media debates.

“The book presents a detailed study of exhibits … . Porsché takes a look at the front-, back- and offstage of knowledge production. … The book’s ethnographic approach to communication is particularly valuable because it includes the analysis of video-recordings of interaction sequences. Field notes and expert knowledge from insiders shed further light … .” (Ralf Kruber, Slovo a slovesnost, Vol. 83 (1), 2022)“A great strength of the book is its interdisciplinary use of methodological tools from (multimodal) conversation analysis, ethnography and sociology … . gives the readers a full picture of how museum exhibitions are staged and perceived. … Public Representations of Immigrants in Museums is an original book that brings museum studies and how knowledge is constructed in them, to the heart of discourse and interaction studies, paving the way for more epistemological and methodological synergies of the kind.” (Argyro Kantara, Discourse & Society, Vol. 30 (5), September, 2019)
