Spanish term or phrase: que toman a cargo su incompletud
En esa medida, nuestro museos reflejan las condiciones actuales de modernidades discontinuas, si no incompletas y recompuestas, que toman a cargo su incompletud para encubrir las fallas de su constitución. Es decir, la existencia de nuestros museos plantea la existencia de una “situación narrativa” en la que conviven múltiples “regímenes textuales”. Es necesario completar la historia clásica al mismo tiempo que se plantean nuevos desafíos a los museos, en el terreno de la ruptura de la noción de exhibición que le está aparejada como en el de la producción de archivos.
