| Sumario: | This work deals with the creation and re-creation of folk museums. It analyzes the political purposes served and reasons put forward, and the agents responsible for their emergence. It also examines whether they have been the result of state institutions or movements arising from elite or minority groups that belong to the civil society. Simultaneously, it is explained how folklore representations are reconceptualized in the representation of the local, regional, national and transnational collective identities. It analyzes a) the current museum guidelines based on internal and external decolonization processes, and their economic, political, social and cognitive implications; b) the critiques of colonial and classist analyses developed in the past by Ethnology and Folklore -disciplines that influenced museographic discourse; and c) the review of the definition of museum as an institution. |
