The authority’s speeches reflected in the exhibition Global Warming of
an interactive museum
Alejandra Jaramillo-Vázquez *
Abstract:
In this article, I examine the temporary exhibition of Global Warming from an
anthropological perspective. The objective is to reflect the construction of authority or
hegemonic discourses done by the museum, which are socialized via exhibitions and the
participation of guides. Through the theoretical perspective of Gramsci about the
concept of hegemony, I examine the temporary exhibition and the role of guides as
constructors of authority discourses as well.
Key words: hegemony, museums, climatic changes, exhibitions, guides.
