Diários, design e materialidades: o projeto editorial como estratégia poética de publicação de diários íntimos

Abstract

The paper starts from the conceptual definition of differentiation of the 'textual work' and the 'book work'. In this way, the book materiality is understood as a project in which the designer configures himself as author, different from the textual work that takes the writer for its authorship. Similarly, the chosen bibliography configures the diaries as a site of appropriation of several materialities in its physical and authorial composition. Besides being constituted by writing, diaries carry clippings, collages, photographs, post-its, drawings, notes, among other interventions that constitute the intersemiotic processes of communication of these artifacts. In view of this, and taking the editorial project as an experimental place of poetics of the designer himself, this paper aims to reflect on the different authorships and subjectivities that cross the intimate diaries when they go through the process of editing and publishing. Under a qualitative and exploratory approach, the research uses a bibliography that traces paths between Art, Design and Literature, through a methodology that is based on Metadesign and Metaproject as a way to encompass, categorize and reflect on the investigated themes.Taking as research object the book 'Quarto de despejo: diário de uma favelada' by Carolina Maria de Jesus, we investigate ways of thinking this literary work as the body of an editorial project, having in mind the field of Design as an experimental and poetic environment to the project practice. As a result of the research, we obtained a series of urban interventions in the format of murals and 'lambe-lambes' that serve to reflect on the publishing process of intimate diaries and the designer as an important shaper to editorial processes.
