A CONSTITUIÇÃO DE REPRESENTAÇÕES DAS HISTÓRIAS DAS MULHERES NA MUSEALIZAÇÃO DO MUSEU JULIO DE CASTILHOS (1995-1998): a agência das intelectuais mediadoras

Abstract

The article proposes to present some results of the research of my doctoral thesis in which I analyze the constitution of stories of women in the collection of the Julio de Castilhos Museum between 1995 and 2010. Specifically, the present text analyzes the incorporation of 143 objects donated by women between 1995 and 1998, verifying their museological documentation and the way their functional transformations (real to symbolic) were constituted by the donors and museum staff members, the first mediating intellectuals. In fact it was perceived that the practices and representations of the stories of women in the Museum were related to the reconciliation of power relations, especially in musealization although the objective was aimed at the historical formation of school children.
