| Sumario: | [EN] This paper examines how an-thropological perspectives and refl ections face the Western institutions like the National Museum (being anthropological or not) against its own contradictions and paradoxes. It also illustrates the discomfort pro-duced, very often, by national museums of anthropology on those who hold power, with the example of the para-digmatic case of the Museo del Pueblo Español (Museum of the Spanish People), which has never managed to function coherently with its collections opened to the public. The comparison of this case with others having similar objectives but different positions, permits the unraveling of the strategies of representation, frequent-ly fraudulent if not perverse, that museums develop in their attempt to tell the history of a nation, defi ning a model of culture and reducing this to some material rel-ics of assumed or debatable value |
