Censura das memórias subterrâneas nos museus de arte: Exposições El Tercer Mundo e Queermuseu

Abstract

This research analyzes the censorship of subterranean memories in Contemporary Art exhibitions as a discursive practice that determines the control of cultural memory through restraints and conflicts of power, studying the unexpected closing of the exhibition El Tercer Mundo by MAx Provenzano in Museo de Arte Valencia –Venezuela, 2015 – and the untimely closing of the exhibition Queermuseu: Cartografias da Diferença na Arte Brasileira in Santander Cultural – Brazil, 2017 –. Analysis of Discourse (MOREIRA, 2011; ORLANDI, 2001) and Multimodality (BEZEMER; JEWITT, 2010) allowed to observe the images, testimonies and texts that work as memory vehicles of subterranean memory (POLLAK, 1989) interacting against censor mechanisms that maintain the subaltern and invisibility.
