| description | As museums are organizations that are supposed to serve society, they need to adapt to social changes. We live in an era where we understand that representativeness is of paramount importance for groups under effect of marginalization. The voices of these people have been systematically and institutionally silenced for several hundred years. Since traditional museology fails to engage with marginalized groups, and is, until today, a fundamentally elitist institution, Sociomuseology as a school of thought and the practice of Social Museology emerged with the clear mission to rectify this deficit. The school of thought, the practice and their potential for sociopolitical and economic development of a territory deserve to be carefully looked at. This article aims to provide insights about this new museological paradigm. Two case studies of Social Museum institutions in Brazilian favelas will be presented that exemplify the benefits these museums have already produced for the communities they stand in. Examples of actions developed in these museums and how they affect the daily life of the local habitants will be displayed. This paper was written based on material gathered for the author’s bachelor thesis delivered in Germany in 2018 and counts with field studies, original transcripted and translated interviews, observations and an analysis of the social function of these museums.

Neu, Maria Magdalena As museums are organizations that are supposed to serve society, they need to adapt to social changes.

Keywords: Sociomuseology; Social Museology; social responsibility; collective memory vs. official history Museus são organizações que devem servir à sociedade e, portanto, eles precisam se adaptar às mudanças sociais. Vivemos em uma época em que entendemos que a representatividade é de suma importância para grupos sob efeito de marginalização. As vozes dessas pessoas têm sido sistemática e institucionalmente silenciadas há várias centenas de anos. Uma vez que a museologia tradicional falha em se engajar com grupos marginalizados, e é, até hoje, uma instituição fundamentalmente elitista, a Sociomuseologia como escola de pensamento e a prática da Museologia Social surgiram com a clara missão de retificar este déficit. A escola de pensamento, a prática e seu potencial de desenvolvimento sociopolítico e econômico de um território merecem ser cuidadosamente examinados. Este artigo tem o objetivo de proporcionar insights sobre este novo paradigma museológico. Serão apresentados dois estudos de caso de instituições de museus sociais em favelas brasileiras que exemplificam os benefícios que esses museus já produziram para as comunidades em que estão inseridos. Serão apresentados exemplos de ações desenvolvidas nesses museus e como elas afetam o cotidiano dos moradores locais. Este trabalho foi escrito com base no material reunido para a tese de bacharelado da autora, entregue na Alemanha em 2018, e conta com estudos de campo, entrevistas originais transcritas e traduzidas, observações e uma análise da função social desses museus.
