São instituições que tem por finalidade comunicar (em alguns casos), negociar e preservar os aspectos culturais considerados importantes em determinado contexto social. Este ensaio antropológico visa apresentar os resultados obtidos na pesquisa que teve por objetivo investigar o processo de construção do discurso museológico bem como analisar a narrativa expográfica atualmente em exibição no Museu do Homem do Nordeste (Recife -PE) . Considerando os paradigmas propostos pela antropologia interpretativa que tem como foco uma descrição densa na busca de significados possíveis e empreendendo as ações recomendadas por Igor Kopytoff para realização da análise biográfica deste museu, busquei observar as invisibilidades de sua construção discursiva realizando assim um estudo que se constitui como uma antropologia dos museus. Assim desejo contribuir para o debate acerca das atuais representações da identidade regional nordestina e do papel dos museus tradicionais na construção dessas identidades. / Museums are cultural institutions that participate in the process of interpreting cultures, defining and assigning value in a more or less conscious form, therefore making them able to communicate meaning while occupying the status of a privileged object of study for the construction and use of cultural theories. At the same time, their main institutional aim is to communicate (in some cases), negotiate and preserve certain cultural elements that are considered important within a given social context. The present anthropological essay aims at presenting the results obtained during fieldwork at the Museu do Homem do Nordeste (Recife – PE), focused on investigating the process of the construction of the museum’s discourse as well as analyzing the narrative of the exhibit currently on display. In order to produce a study that could be considered an Anthropology of Museums, the author focused on observing the invisible aspects of the museum’s discourse by taking into consideration the paradigms proposed by interpretive Anthropology and its dense description as a form of uncovering possible meanings while following the steps recommended by Igor Kopytoff in order to develop the biographic analysis of the institution. These efforts intend to shed new light on the debates about the construction of Northeastern regional identity representation and the social function of traditional museums within such processes.

Les musées d’art sont des lieux privilégiés pour contempler les productions artistiques du passé et d’aujourd’hui. En vertu de leur mandat, ceux-ci ont la tâche difficile de concilier leurs fonctions de délectation et d’éducation du public. Certains favorisent une approche plutôt que l’autre, mais tous portent un regard subjectif sur ce qu’ils exposent. Même si les oeuvres semblent être disposées naturellement dans les salles, tout ce qui relève de la conception et de la réalisation des expositions est savamment construit et résulte d’un parti-pris de la part du musée. En fonction de ses choix, c’est-à-dire de ce qu’elle présente ou non et comment elle le fait, l’institution muséale participe à la définition de ce qu’est l’art et influence la signification des oeuvres. En conséquence, chaque musée est producteur d’un discours qui véhicule notamment sa vision de l’histoire de l’art et ses valeurs institutionnelles. Ce discours est produit tant par les écrits qui sont installés auprès des oeuvres que par l’ensemble du dispositif muséographique qui les entoure. Ce mémoire explore, à travers l’analyse comparative de quatre musées des beaux-arts québécois, les éléments constitutifs d’un tel discours ainsi que les relations qui s’instaurent entre les différentes composantes du discours muséal et ce qui est montré dans leurs salles d’exposition. / Art museums are the perfect settings to gaze at past and actual works of art. According to their mandate, the museums have to conciliate two functions that can be difficult to manage, that is to say their functions of enjoyment and education. Some favor one approach instead of the other, but each museum is subjective in the way it exhibits works of art. Even if the art seems to be displayed naturally in the galleries, everything that is related to the conception and the realisation of the exhibition is the object of a construction and results from a decision of the museum. In accordance with their choices, that is to say which objects are presented or not, and the way they are exhibited, the museums contribute to define what art is, and influence the meanings of the works of art. Consequently, each museum transmits its own vision of art history and its institutional values. This particular discourse can be foregrounded as much by the writings installed near the works of art as by the museography around them. With a comparative analysis of four fine arts museums from the province of Quebec (Canada), this thesis explores a typology of museums discourses, as well as the intertwined relations between the different components of those discourses and the works of art that are shown in their galleries.
