AS CRIANÇAS URU EU WAU WAU: O ENCONTRO DOS TOCADORES DE TABOCA COM O MUNDO DOS BRANCOS A Gestão Curatorial em uma coleção fotográfica na perspectiva de uma exposição museológica

Abstract

This work is based in a museological curatorial management to promote a temporary and itinerant exhibit, notably formed by visual registries documented by Jesco von Puttkamer, when the national society came to meet the Uru Eu Wau Wau, indigenous people inhabitants of the state of Rondonia. This expositive clipping is based on the pictures which portray the universe of the Uru Eu Wau Wau children, as the reflexion elements of the aspects of interracial contact, the children universe and the role of children as spokespeople in the indigenous and white relationship. These registries, which belong to the Instituto Goiano de Pré-História e Antropologia (Pre- Historical and Anthopological Institute in Goiânia), at Universidade Católica de Goiás (Catholic University), are part of a photographical collection in slides, produced by Jesco in the 1980 s, being the witnesses materials of the mediation between the above mentioned indigenous society and the surround society. Like material vestiges, the slide collection of the Uru Eu Wau Wau allows us to look back on the moment of contact, visualizing some of the aspects of that moment. Created to be the museological curatorial raw material for the assembly of the temporary and itinerant exhibit, the image collection of the Uru Eu Wau Wau is treated as museological object. Being such an object, the photographical registries may be targets of many possibilities, considering that the museological strategy originates an interactive and polysemous game for those who visit the exhibit.
