Abstract
Uma pergunta costuma me atormentar, dada sua aparente obviedade: porque não podemos tocar os objetos em museus? Podemos ver, podemos olhar, mas não podemos interagir com a cultura material institucionalizada. Por quê? Embora a resposta mais óbvia seja a de que o toque pode resultar na destruição dos objetos, acredito que haja algo mais profundo envolto nessa questão, que é a construção do tato como o sentido do inculto, do selvagem. Nesse sentido, tocar ou não tocar estabelece um jogo de autoridade que define o Eu e o Outro. Ao mesmo tempo, ao se excluir a possibilidade da interação corporal com os objetos, limita-se o entendimento do público e perpetua-se um modelo específico de entender o mundo.References
