Antologias: colecionadores e suas coleções

Abstract

The book “Anthologies: Collectors and Their Collections”, collects profiles of collectors and tells their stories, showing the personal motivations of each one to start and to maintain their collections. The interviews are intended to demystify the aura of childishness that surrounds fans of pop culture, showing, through the interviewees' reports, that their collections have different purposes in their roots, be they to keep alive the memories of someone who has already gone, be it for having an example in the characters of your collections, or even for the sole intention of having a giant collection of what you care about. Each story, singular in itself, shows that the design of the collected objects has different origins and ways of operating in essence, explaining that, although some collections have their trigger squeezed during childhood, they are not always intended to keep childhood present, or live, in a way. But they have a stamp of status, longing, homage and adoration.
