Resumo: |
This doctor thesis analyzed various expositions linked to the issues of African culture and the black diaspora. We discussed, within the research, questions related to affirmations of identities and the search of symbolic references, which sustain the debate of cultural diversity. Cultural institutions have to commit to these questions, as they produce and transmit the scientific discussion and images. Museums and similar institutions are key-players within the process of creating images and imaginaries, and therefore its contents and its forms of presentation within the expositions should be reconsidered. The Occident produced symbolisms concerning the African continent, about the people who lived and still live there. These symbolisms contributed to the distribution and maintenance of stereotypes about this continent, including the creation of negative ideas about the presence of black people in western societies, omitting important contributions of black men and women, as well as people of mixed race (mestiços) to contemporanean identities. These recurring constructions of images and meanings are seen as heritages of social practices that used expositions or other means of divulgation in order to construct imaginaries about the white superiority and the decline of other ethnic groups. In this thesis, we analyzed, through field and documental research, processes of construction of ideologies, in Brazil and Europe. As an example, we analyzed the case of Portugal and its imperial colonization project. We analyzed expositions in museums in the city of Salvador-Bahia and Recife-Pernambuco, identifying recurring similarities concerning the treatment of the issue within these expositions. Other expositions visited and analyzed include Lisbon, Paris and Tervuren, where new forms of how to discuss the issue of African cultures were found, including their influences on and inclusion in the Western cultures |
