Gênero e memória : um estudo sobre a representação da mulher no museu a partir do Museu Memorial Minas Gerais Vale

Abstract

This course conclusion work, Gender and Memory: a study about the representation of women at the museum from Memorial Minas Gerais Vale Museum, presents a study about the way women nowadays, against the advances of society, are represented in privileged spaces of memory, as in the Memorial Minas Gerais Vale Museum, particularly Vale do Jequitinhonha room. This room was chosen because we believe that in its exposure is depicted the daily lives of people in the Vale do Jequitinhonha and the gender discussion is done precisely in these spaces. The methodology carried out a bibliographical and documentary research from a qualitative approach. To assist in data collection, direct observation of the physical museum space was performed, as well as the field book, board book and a camera. We concluded that although not the main purpose of the room, the gender discussion is present in its rich exposure in details that will enable us to deepen and broden our gaze to the study of gender in the museum.
