Memoria silenciadas y patrimonios ausentes en el museo histórico de el hoyo, comarca andina del paralelo 42°, Patagonia Argentina

Abstract

This article analyzes the silences and absent heritage in the exhibition at the Historical Museum in the town of El Hoyo in Patagonia (Argentina). In particular, it examines the widespread silences about indigenous peoples and certain issues and relationships, while attempting to reveal the mechanisms by which the institution gave shape to these absences. We approach the analysis of these silencings as productive resources through which systems of belonging and differentiation, stratification and territorialization, are configured and transmitted, revealing relations of power and structuring the possible field of action.
