LAGUNAS, Cecilia  and  RAMOS, Mariano. Women's Culture and Heritage: gender Hierarchies and Spaces in Local Popular Museums and National Public Institutions. Aljaba [online]. 2007, vol.11, pp.119-140. ISSN 1669-5704.

Women's socio-cultural and gender studies have contributed new knowledge on the social and cultural construction of the relations between men and women in specific spatial and time contexts. This paper analyzes how several museums of the Province of Buenos Aires created through popular initiatives have organized different spaces ("Rostros de La Pampa", in San Antonio de Areco). It also looks at the hierarchical order of the objects recovered, comparing the former with the order bestowed by official institutions in the framework of national policies and linked to the regulations for the preservation of a national culture (Complejo Museográfico Enrique Udaondo, in Luján, and Parque Criollo y Museo Gauchesco Ricardo Güiraldes, in San Antonio de Areco).

Keywords : Women's Culture; Cultural Heritage; Gender; Hierarchies.
