Museum and historicity: the representation of time in Brazilian museums

Abstract

This article discusses the intersections between History and Museology, taking into account the contributions of concepts from history in order to analyse museal experiences. The category of regime of historicity is particularly fruitful in questioning the museal fact, once it can be established as a phenomenon that, besides containing historicity itself, also provides the production of order of time in societies. An analysis made of three Brazilian museums allows us to verify the key role that historicity plays in the expository discourse, as well as the coexistence of distinct ways of articulating the relations of society with time, especially with the past.
