PERRIERE, Hernán. A fort that is not a fort, but a house and a museum called a fort. Heritage and memories in the construction of a story about the southern frontier of Buenos Aires. Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2021, vol.14, n.1, pp.155-166. ISSN 1852-060X. http://dx.doi.org/http://doi.org/10.31048/1852.4826.v14.n1.30398.
Abstract In this article I analyze the processes of patrimonialization of the Fortín Cuatreros Museum (MFC) in Bahía Blanca (south of the province of Buenos Aires) and the associated historical narratives as processes of construction of local memories and educational resource for high- school students. This museum represents the last of the forts located in the advance of the frontier that guarded the so-called “Zanja de Alsina” in 1876, near the estuary that borders the city. In the first part of this article, the different frameworks that explain the meanings given to the present museum in historical perspective (foundation, patrimonial declarations, reconstructions) are displayed in dialogue with the stories of pioneer settlers of the town. In the second one, part of an ethnographic work carried out between 2014 and 2018 is taken up with the aim of analyzing the meanings that the MFQ recovers when visited by students and teachers (scripts, stories from those in charge of the visits, staging of objects). The hypothesis consists in asserting that six frameworks are distinguished, constituting a network of silence that the State systematically built to justify the extinction and genocide of indigenous peoples.
