Nowadays, anthropology museums debate between keeping or restituting objects.
Through the study of the Cora ethnographic collection obtained by Konrad Theodor
Preuss in Mexico (1906), today preserved in the Ethnologisches Museum of Berlin, I
will show that analyzing how ethnographic objects get to a museum is not enough
to take a justified stand on this issue. The socio-cultural dynamics and the contemporary history of ethnographic objects must also be considered to get a better
perspective on the future of these collections. En la actualidad, los museos etnológicos se debaten entre mantener o restituir objetos.
A través del estudio de la colección etnográfica Cora que Konrad Theodor Preuss obtuvo en México (1906), actualmente preservada en el Museo Etnográfico de Berlín, demostraré que el análisis de cómo los objetos etnográficos llegan a un museo no es suficiente para justificar una toma de posición. La dinámica sociocultural y la historia contemporánea de los objetos etnográficos son también indispensables para pensar mejor en el futuro de estas colecciones.
