========================================
First, a little context from me:
For the first time this year, you can subscribe to the NAME journal, the Exhibitionist, without joining AAM. As the past president of NAME, I have to say the journal is indispensable for people who work in, care about, or think about exhibitions. From nuts and bolts to theoretical discussions, it is all relevant to our work, written by people who live and breathe exhibitions.
PS, the NAME Board has reached a consensus to change the name of the exhibitionist, with the thought that naming a magazine alluding to men who expose themselves to women is probably a snicker that we can leave in the past. But no new name has emerged. Ideas? We like humor, irreverence, and pith.
And if this email gets spam filtered, you know why.

==================================
Issues of our journal, Exhibitionist, have been hitting mailboxes for a couple weeks. "Meaning-Making Revisited" returns to a theme we first dug into nearly fourteen years ago, in the popular Fall 1999 issue. The current Exhibitionist takes a new look at the concept of meaning-making, which has now thoroughly permeated museum thinking, discourse, and research. Two dozen authors address a variety of exhibition forms in science, history and art museums–and beyond–and the ways in which meaning is made, conveyed and interpreted.
We're previewing two essays on our website. Download Meaning Making in Nine Acts, by Peter Samis and Mimi Michaelson, and Commentary: Reflections on the Adolescence of Meaning-Making, by Lois H. Silverman, who introduced the concept of meaning making to the museum field in her Pd.D. dissertation in 1990, and whose subsequent work has shaped our understanding and application of this important paradigm.
Last year's Spring issue is now available in its entirety online, joining research, case studies and reviews going back to 1990. http://name-aam.org/resources/exhibitionist/back-issues-and-online-archive
You can also find the subscription form and receive Exhibitionist twice annually.

Finally, we've assembled a "Sessions of Interest to Members of NAME" guide for the upcoming American Alliance of Museums Annual Meeting in Baltimore later this month. Take a look and you won't miss out!
