O movimento de restituição dos bens culturais e suas implicações: uma análise do comitê de “retorno e restituição” de 1978 da UNESCO

Abstract

This article aims to carry out a bibliographical analysis, through official documents, books and articles by authors in the area, government websites and news websites, about the implications left by the looting of valuable art objects from historically colonized regions, focusing on the UNESCO “Return and Restitution” Committee of 1978. The aim is to answer the research question: what reflections the Committee brought to the debates on historical reparation in its first decade of activity (1980- 1989). Authors from Postcolonial Theory and Constructivist Theory of International Relations are used as theoretical contributions.
