Erasure of Memories and Information Policies: Museums from a Feminine Perspective

Abstract

To what extent does the sharing of information and knowledge reproduce practices of invisibilization in the representation of women in the context of museology? This essay addresses the subordinate role attributed to women in the production of information and knowledge, the concentration of cultural capital in dominant countries and corporations, and the self-legitimizing dynamics of cultural industries. It highlights the importance of Women's History and the need for information policies that consider gender issues, promoting female emancipation and combating discrimination. To achieve this, a bibliographic review and a conceptual discussion were conducted on the sharing of information about women in museums, archives, and knowledge organization systems, emphasizing the need for new analytical perspectives and the formulation of public policies to ensure gender equality and women's empowerment.
