Alma dos objetos: abordagens memoriais e biográficas de objetos do Museu Cláudio Oscar Becker.

Abstract

Museum objects have a life trajectory, from their creation, belonging to a person, acquisition and journey within a museum. This biography can be a means of interpreting your soul, considering that objects carry information extrinsic to themselves, sustaining memories, relationships and stories, which are generally not possible to deduce from their materiality. In our view, the soul of objects consubstantiates due to some factors: its relation with the subject (museality); the symbolic aspects that they trigger in individuals (resonance); how they act on people (agency), and; their contexts (their biographies). All these aspects, in convergence, cooperate for the understanding of the soul of objects. Our research has as scope the relation between memory and museological object, seeking to understand and define its soul, which can be activated through revelations of memories and understanding of the factors mentioned above. The main objective of the research is to analyze how memory and biographical construction aid in the revelation and understanding of meanings and meanings that are not present in the physicality of the object. We aim to discuss the relationship of some objects that are under the custody of the Cláudio Oscar Becker Museum with the residents of the city of Ivoti who donated them, seeking to understand their function as devices connecting the subject with the invisible. From this perspective, through interviews and conversation, we analyze how the construction of a biography of objects - which potentiates them as triggers of memories - and the factors of soul activation - that become methodological indicators to achieve our goal - can contribute to a circumscription of the soul concept of museum objects.
