Abstract: »The increasing focus on the significance of negative heritage, along with ongoing discussions about its definition, has led memorial museums in China to place a greater emphasis on the exhibition of negative heritage. This study identifies current issues in the exhibition language at the Nanjing Museum of the Site of the Lijixiang Comfort Station – a site associated with negative heritage – and introduces relevant concepts from literary narrative theory to address these challenges. It proposes solutions for constructing narrative exhibitions of negative heritage by examining four dimensions: characters and clues, narrative approach, logical relationships, and the integration of first- and third-person perspectives. The objective is to enable museums to characterize the comfort women system as an institutional system of military sexual slavery through exhibitions using artifacts and survivor testimonies.« (Source: Museum Management and Curatorship)
