| Abstract: | Economic knowledge is essentially abstract. From the mid-19th century onwards, however, many attempts were made to overcome the apparent difficulties of conveying abstract information and museums and exhibition design performed a key role in that process. Over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, turning economic knowledge into visual and material displays has raised critical and ongoing challenges. ‘How to materialize immaterial things? How to display abstractions?’, the French engineer Emile Cheysson asked himself in 1889. As this chapter will show, in museums and exhibitions, conveying abstraction paradoxically increased the need for material and multi-sensory displays, and an embodied approach to knowledge. Economic displays also deeply affected how knowledge was appropriated. Bringing together the history of exhibition design, the history of economic knowledge, and the epistemology of social sciences, this chapter analyses the discourses and material practices of displaying economic knowledge. It addresses the materiality of displays and argues that subjectivity and subjectiveness were – and still are – crucial to the understanding of seemingly abstract topics such as economics. |
