- W2121285870 abstract "This thesis traces the history of museums in Qatar to investigate asignificant period of transformation - politically, economically andsocially - and their role in the reordering of ' things'. I compare the wayin which Qatari museums have been used during two different eras, fromthe 19705 to 1995 and from 1995 to the current day, to demonstrate howmuseums in Qatar have been politically driven and where they have beenused to strengthen a national profile, locally. region ally and globally. Aspecific study of Qatar National Museum allows for an exploration ofhow Sheikh Khalifa's aims for the museums in the country changed thecommunity's understanding of their everyday objects, when they wereshown in a museum context as a part of a specific narrative of history andchange.The economic, social and political paradigm shifts that Qatar iswitnessing currently have brought about recognition of the need for awider and more important role for museums and their acquisitions.Alongside moves to modernise the country, there has begun to be anemphasis on the need to preserve Qatar's traditions and heritage and thedesire to rebuild some sites and cities from Qatar's hi story. Throughoutthese projects, Qatari and Islamic heritage have been utilised in thepoliticians' vision and plans for globalisation and modernisation. The newmuseum culture in Qatar acts as a very powerful tool to generatenarratives about the country as a nation; however, the opening of thesenew museums invites debate about why certain objects have been broughttogether and why specific narratives have been constructed around them.I have completed this research as both a curator employed by theMuseums Authority in Qatar since 1998, and as a doctoral student at theUniversity of Leeds in the United Kingdom. This has created aninteresting tension in my work. As an insider, I have had to engage withthe cultural basis of understanding demanded of a curator working inQatar. However, as a research student, I have been required to question,analyse and critique Qatari museum practice. This is the first thesis toexplore the history of museums in Qatar conducted by a Qatari employedby the Museums Authority and I have addressed the challenges of thisposition in my research." @default.
