Percursos formativos da Museologia na Amazônia paraense

Abstract

With the objective of celebrating 90 years of instruction in Museology in Brazil, the article presents, with emphasis on the context of the Amazon of Pará, formative paths that contributed to the field of Museology studies in the country, starting in the 19th century. It traces this trajectory through discursivities and practices that constitute an ideal of a museum and its importance, wrapped in teaching and research actions, still in the 19th century Brazilian society. It goes on to visit the some landmarks that would, at the end of the first decade of the 21st century, result in the creation of the first course of Bachelor's Degree in Museology in the North of the country, linked to the Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA), amid the expansion of Brazilian higher education institutions and the insertion of a national policy to value culture and heritage. It concludes by demonstrating current paths taken by the Museology degree in the region.
