Subjetividades e construção de sentidos na experiência de uso educativo do Museu de Artes e Ofícios

Abstract

In this text I discuss the subjective relations between teachers and the Arts and Crafts Museum’s exposition, in Belo Horizonte. This analysis is done with data collected in structured interviews with the application of questionnaires and narrative interviews made in contact with the MAO exhibition. The narrative interview walking through the MAO exhibition was a methodological option that allowed the teacher a situation of formative experience in dialogue with the researcher. The interview in progress was held in the Museum of Arts and Crafts, individually with each teacher, on a previously scheduled day. For this article, I selected Clarice’s experience. As opposed to a product, the museum is presented as a process, a phenomenon in constant transformation amongst the relations it establishes on society. This museum is formative and the knowledge acquired at the exposition is mobilized in schools broadening the curriculum, which creates an original historical knowledge that is far from being a simplification of the academy cut on history.
