| Abstract | |
privileged means to access the conceptual and political disputes that constitute it studies and emblematic exhibitions on the subject, and the contexts of creation and expography of two decisive institutions of the area, the Museu Afro-Brasileiro in Salvador and the Museu Afro Brasil in São Paulo. It underlies this study that the difficulties of conceptualizing this many named Art - black, Afro-descendent, Afrooriented, diasporic etc. - and the multiple meanings given to it along the 20th century are related in an uncertain but constant way to the ambiguities of racial relations in Brazil. The chapters of this dissertation seek to explore the multiple uses, interpretations and definitions that give body and meaning, albeit uncertain to this notion. After all, when Afro-Brazilian Art is produced or talked about, what exactly is being produced or talked about? When an exhibition or museum are organized around the subject, what understandings and criteria are being used and also created? (AU) | |
