Abstract
Los gabinetes escolares de Historia Natural eran considerados claves para la enseñanza de las ciencias naturales, de acuerdo a diversas propuestas educativas implementadas durante los siglos XIX y XX en Iberoamérica. Hoy en día, estos antiguos gabinetes se han transformado en espacios histórico-patrimoniales que nos permiten indagar sobre las relaciones entre la ciencia y la educación y las aproximaciones a esta naturaleza reinterpretada desde un enfoque científico-pedagógico. En este estudio, enfatizamos en los gabinetes de Historia Natural y sus transformaciones, de espacios científicos a espacios patrimoniales, destacando la importancia que tuvieron las colecciones de taxidermia como parte de los gabinetes de Historia Natural existentes tanto en Chile como en el contexto iberoamericano. A su vez, identificamos cuáles han sido algunos de los esfuerzos de preservación que se han llevado a cabo, reflexionando sobre sus proyecciones como patrimonio.
As a result of educational reforms implemented throughout Ibero-America in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, cabinet displays of natural history were considered key to the teaching of natural sciences. These old school cabinets have been transformed today into historical-patrimonial spaces that allow us to inquire about relations between science and education as well as approaches to reinterpreting nature from a scientific-pedagogic perspective. In this study, we emphasize the transformation from scientific space to heritage space by highlighting collections of taxidermy. At the same time, we identify some of the preservation efforts that have been carried out and reflect on their projections as matters of heritage.
