Resumo: | This article starts from the notion of "exhibitionary complex" on the classical pedagogic function of the western museum (historical and ethnographic) and goes over them through contemporary Latin American contexts, specifically Mexican. The text contrasts an ethnographic cut in community museums with certain aspects of the ethnographical halls in the National Museum of Anthropology of Mexico. The central thesis, which it aims to demonstrate, is that the present rhetoric of heritage in post-colonial and "cultural diversity" entourages still uses the logic of the exhibitionary complex but with a different mechanism and goal from the classical notion from the beginning of the 20th century. It does no longer tries to exhibit the achievements of modern order or national establishment, but rather a rhetoric of return. Tradition would no longer forever fixed in the national museum of the capital city, but now installs itself in the distant space of the town or village: what used to be objects of the museum and exhibition, become subjects which produce a glance and an order. Lastly, he questions: have the mechanisms that defined and retained the cultural authority over patrimony been truly displaced? |

Lastly, he questions: have the mechanisms that defined and retained the cultural authority over patrimony been truly displaced?Este artículo parte de la noción de “complejo exhibitorio” sobre la función pedagógica clásica del museo occidental (histórico y etnográfico), y la repasa en contextos latinoamericanos contemporáneos, específicamente mexicanos. El texto contrapone trabajo de corte etnográfico en museos comunitarios con ciertos aspectos de las salas de etnografía en el Museo Nacional de Antropología de México. La tesis central que persigue demostrar es que la retórica actual del patrimonio en entornos poscoloniales y de “diversidad cultural”, sigue utilizando la lógica del complejo exhibitorio pero con un mecanismo y un fin diferente a la noción clásica de inicios del siglo XX. Ya no se trataría de exhibir las proezas del orden moderno y de la construcción nacional, sino de una poética del retorno. La tradición no estaría ya fijada por siempre en el museo nacional de la capital, sino que se instala en la lejanía espacial del pueblo o de la aldea: los que fueron objeto del museo y de exhibición se vuelven sujetos de producción de una mirada y de un orden. Finalmente se pregunta: ¿se han desplazado realmente los mecanismos que definían y retenían la autoridad cultural sobre el patrimonio?Este artigo parte da noção de “complexo expositivo” sobre a função pedagógica clássica do museu ocidental (histórico e etnográfico), e a revisa em contextos latino-americanos contemporâneos, especificamente mexicanos. O texto contrasta o trabalho etnográfico em museus comunitários com certos aspectos das salas de etnografia do Museu Nacional de Antropologia do México. A tese central que procura demonstrar é que a atual retórica do património em ambientes pós-coloniais e de “diversidade cultural” continua a utilizar a lógica do complexo expositivo, mas com um mecanismo e finalidade diferente da noção clássica do início do século XX. século. Não se trataria mais de expor os feitos da ordem moderna e da construção nacional, mas de uma poética do retorno. A tradição não mais se fixaria para sempre no museu nacional da capital, mas se instalaria na distância espacial da cidade ou vila: aqueles que foram objeto do museu e da exposição tornam-se sujeitos da produção de um olhar e de uma ordem . Por fim, pergunta: os mecanismos que definiam e mantinham a autoridade cultural sobre o patrimônio realmente foram deslocados?Universidade Estadual de Londrina2014-12-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionEmpirical researchPesquisa empíricaPesquisa empíricaapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antiteses/article/view/1871810.5433/1984-3356.2014v7n14p94Antíteses; Vol. 7 No. 14 (2014): Histórias e Antropologias dos Patrimônios Culturais; 94-120Antíteses; v. 7 n. 14 (2014): Histórias e Antropologias dos Patrimônios Culturais; 94-1201984-3356reponame:Antítesesinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELspahttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antiteses/article/view/18718/15656Copyright (c) 2014 Antíteseshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRuffer, Mario2022-11-03T17:23:43Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/18718Revistahttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antitesesPUBhttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antiteses/oaiantiteses@uel.br||1984-33561984-3356opendoar:2022-11-03T17:23:43Antíteses - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false |
