As exposições curriculares no processo de curricularização da extensão universitária: um diálogo direto com a sociedade

Abstract

The article reflects on the role of curricular exhibitions in contemporary times, a unique experience of the museologist's professional training by stimulating a critical-reflective debate on representations and social demands. In the context of the extension curricular crediting process, an activity with high extensionist potential is revealed, a practice that is part of its formative essence. From the Museology course at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), the social bias that curricular exhibitions have characterized in this graduation will be examined. A qualitative analysis of editions of curricular expositions - derived from the different roles assumed by the author in these processes, sometimes as a professor, evaluation committee, or visitor -, contributes to understanding the bases that will base the allocation of part of her workload in the payment of the extension in this graduation. It has been concluded that the curricular exhibitions have an unquestionable extensionist dimension as they are capable of reinforcing the transforming interaction between the university and other societal sectors.
