Resumo |
Existe una actitud predominante en el mundo de los museos según la cual las diversas culturas se presentan y se respetan de manera adecuada, dándose un diálogo efectivo entre los museos y las comunidades culturales a las que sirven. Sin embargo, el presente trabajo disiente de dicha creencia, expone sus motivos, y sugiere una trayectoria por la que los museos pueden acercarse con éxito a tales objetivos. Lo que está en juego aquí es el ethos contemporáneo e histórico de los museos y su concepto de la identidad propia, lo que interfiere con su capacidad para incluir a “los otros”, excepto en sus propios términos. El propósito del museo en este sentido es mantener su voz preeminente y su prerrogativa intelectual en sus comunicaciones con el público al que sirve. La idea de que hay múltiples voces que necesitan ser escuchadas no es un concepto fácil de contemplar para los museos, y un paso positivo en aquella dirección representaría un cambio importante con consecuencias de largo alcance. There is an attitude prevalent in the museum world that diverse cultures are adequately presented and respected and that there is an effective dialogue between museums and the cultural communities they serve. This paper, however, does not concur with this, explores the reason why, and suggests a course whereby museums can successfully come closer to such goals. What is involved here is the historical and contemporary ethos of museums and their concept of self, which interferes with their ability to be inclusive of “the other” except on their own terms. The museum’s purpose in this regard is to maintain its authoritative voice and intellectual prerogative in its communications with the publics it serves. The thought that there are multiple voices that need to be heard is not an easy concept for museums to contemplate and a positive move in that direction would represent a major shift with far-reaching consequences. |
