Abstract

© 2015 The California Academy of Sciences. This article seeks to engage with the notion of "discourse," and to test and apply ideas from literary and film theory in the analysis of architectural-and particularly museum-space. It examines the complex set of relations between "narrative," "story" and "discourse" as they manifest in a particular contemporary museum: The Novium in Chichester, UK. This museum was opened in 2012 and designed to contain the remains of Chichester's Roman bathhouse. This article considers the varying degrees of synonymity between the concepts of "story" and "discourse," or "medium" and "message," as encountered during visitors' journeys through the space of the museum.
