Sou eu este patrimônio?

Reflexões críticas acerca da masculinidade hegemônica nos museus e patrimônios goianos

Abstract

This article, four-hand sewn, activates the concept of hegemonic masculinity, imbricated with coloniality, for the analysis of the museum and cultural heritage field in the state of Goiás, Brazil, with a focus on the capital Goiânia. The application starts from the dialogue between a cis woman and a cis gay man, and the analysis was based on the homosexual perspective. Museums and cultural heritage discourses impose themselves as official memory of the Nation-State, a normative memory, serving a specific audience, ordered by the heterosexual matrix. The subjects governed by the norm, and controlled by it, develop narratives among themselves that justify the control of history and memory, intertwined with gender and sexuality, thus causing nausea and social malaise to bodies that distance themselves from the constructed norm.
