El museo panóptico y la liberación de objetos a través del vestuario El museo panóptico y la liberación de objetos a través del vestuario

Abstract

In this article I intend to briefly present a series of academic reflections raised by the problem of the research-subject intersection in the studies of communication for development and social change. My intention is that these notes become a resource for use in the classroom that provokes curiosity about research, art, fashion or creation. Furthermore, understanding that every design process requires a strict researching discipline, this document seeks to redefine what students usually conceive by research. Not so academically and rather “informally”, I take the stage of the National Museum in Bogotá, prison of the nation during the years 1800, to explain the theory of the panopticon of Foucault in the framework of the subject Taller Experimental, of Corporación Unificada Nacional de Educación Superior (cun), Bogotá, Colombia. The use of a more colloquial and simple language is the method to introduce the concept proposed by Foucault and later present a workshop to start debates around coloniality, fashion and the creation of a digital textile proposal.
