Administración de las colecciones de antropología biológica del Museo de La Plata / Management of biological anthropology collections of the Museum of La Plata

In recent years, the approach to the relationship between anthropology and its subjects of interest has been noticeably modified. These transformations, which can be seen as the development of a new paradigm, highlight the existence of a new signification in the relationship between the different actors involved. Thus, the researcher is faced with the challenge of developing creative approaches with a sustainable line of research, and without detriment to the different actors in question. In this context, the anthropological collections –which remain in the guard of different museums and whose constitutive nature is diverse– have a great potential as pieces of evidence. Achieving an adequate treatment of the evidence will depend in great measure on the suggested administrative protocol.

Estas transformaciones, que pueden ser vistas como el desarrollo de un nuevo paradigma, ponen en relieve la resignificación en la relación de las diferentes partes interesadas, colocando al investigador ante el desafío de desarrollar abordajes creativos que permitan una línea de investigación con sustentabilidad y que dicho abordaje no actúe en detrimento de los diferentes actores en cuestión. En este contexto, las colecciones antropológicas, que se encuentran bajo el resguardo de diferentes museos y cuya naturaleza constitutiva es diversa, tienen un gran potencial en su uso como evidencia. Lograr un adecuado abordaje de la misma dependerá en gran medida del protocolo administrativo propuesto.
