O museu como lugar de representações do outro

Abstract

While working in historiography of the anthropological knowledge it appears as coherent to study the level of association/dissociation between anthropology and anthropological museums, relating this level to the different mechanisms of objectivation of knowledge which the discipline has been utilizing during its development. Focusing our attention on the two last decades, this paper aims to analize the recent movement of approach of anthropology and the museological institution/museographic practice, which took peace in the beginning of the 1980s, studying it together with the contemporary reformulations of the discipline. Thus relating the approach movement to the epistemological and ideological contemporary disruptures as well as to the type of anthropological knowledge they underlying.
