Museum Educator as Advocate for the Visitor: Organizing the Texas Fashion Collection's 25th Anniversary Exhibition Suiting the Modern Woman / Suiting the Modern Woman

Utz, Laura Lee 08 1900 (has links)
Suiting the Modern Woman documented the evolution of women's power dressing in the 20th century by featuring four major components: thirteen period suit silhouettes, the power suits of twenty-eight influential and successful high profile Texas women, a look at the career and creations of Dallas designer, Richard Brooks, who created the professional wardrobe for former Texas Governor Ann Richards, and a media room which showcased images of working women in television and movie clips, advertisements, cartoons, and fashion guidebooks. The exhibition served as an application for contemporary museum education theory. Acting as both the exhibition coordinator and educator provided an opportunity to develop interpretative strategies and create a meaningful visitor experience.

No. of bitstreams: 1 RochelleHistoria.pdf: 2323825 bytes, checksum: 46b0f0207d5478f4a9b133451a189ddc (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-03-30 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The idea for this research came from the following question: to what extent a fashion collection can act contemporaneously in the construction and assemblage of memories, becoming itself a place of memory ? From this problem, our aim is to contribute to theoretical studies on the role of fashion in contemporary historical construction. With the fashion collection Nara Leão 2007/2008, by the fashion designer Ronaldo Fraga, and the interpretations it generates, we sought to understand the collection as part of cultural expression and production of social memory. The object of research is treated as a discourse that contributes to the construction of a memory about the Brazilian culture. This discourse about a past event, on becoming a fashion product, using all of the divulgation regarding the subject, allows provocation of this memory and new possibilities of reading in relation to this culture. The resources for the implementation of the research are based on the theoretical framework about: culture, fashion, memory, discourse production and analysis of images. Through these theories, it was possible to investigate how the representations were made regarding the life and work of the singer Nara Leão by Ronaldo Fraga. The career of this fashion designer was investigated in order to understand the conditions of reception of his work through his consolidated career. Analyses of images from the collection and of the discourses of its divulgation present identification elements of national culture, becoming monuments of social remembrance. Because memory is always a current phenomenon, which maintains a link between past and present, with gaps and with properties that allow the incorporation of even a myth, the results obtained in this research suggest the possibilities of understanding the performance of the phenomenon of fashion in historical construction / A ideia para esta pesquisa partiu do seguinte questionamento: em que medida uma coleção de moda pode atuar, contemporaneamente, na construção e no agenciamento de memórias, tornando-se ela mesma um lugar de memória ? A partir dessa problemática, definiu-se, como objetivo, contribuir com estudos teóricos sobre a atuação da moda na construção histórica contemporânea. Com a coleção de moda Nara Leão 2007/2008, do estilista Ronaldo Fraga, e com as interpretações por ela geradas, buscou-se compreender a coleção como elemento de manifestação cultural e de produção de memória social. O objeto de pesquisa é tratado como um discurso que contribui para a construção de uma memória sobre a cultura brasileira. Este discurso a respeito de um fato passado, ao ser transformado em produto de moda, utilizando-se de toda a divulgação em torno do tema, permite a provocação dessa memória e novas possibilidades de leitura em relação a essa cultura. Os recursos para a concretização da pesquisa estão baseados em referencial teórico sobre: cultura, moda, memória, produção discursiva e análise de imagens. Por meio dessas teorias, foi possível investigar de que forma foram feitas as representações referentes à vida e à obra da cantora Nara Leão por parte de Ronaldo Fraga. A carreira desse estilista foi investigada a fim de perceber as condições de recepção de sua obra por meio de sua carreira já consolidada. As análises das imagens da coleção, bem como dos discursos de sua divulgação, apresentam elementos de identificação da cultura nacional, transformando-se em monumentos de rememoração social. Por ser a memória um fenômeno sempre atual, que mantém uma ligação entre passado e presente, com falhas e com propriedades que permitem inclusive a incorporação de um mito, os resultados obtidos com a pesquisa apontam as possibilidades de perceber a atuação do fenômeno da moda na construção histórica
