Parnamirim: o livro como objeto de registro da memória

Abstract

The intent of this paper is to report on the production of a book of short stories entitled “Parnamirim”. In this processes, we started from an investigation into the universe of the “encantados”, “encantarias” and legends of the Anacé People from “Aldeia do Parnamirim”, transforming their narratives originally oral into written texts from a translation process. Our reflections dialogue with authors who discuss “transcriação” processes (CAMPOS, 2011), as well as writing (FLUSSER, [s.d]; 2010), narrative (BENJAMIN, 1987) and orality (ZUMTHOR, 1993). We also investigated the concept of an “artist’s book” (PLAZA, 1982) and the methods of editorial and graphic production of the material (HASLAM, 2007). In the end, the work resulted in a book with fifteen illustrated short stories, divided into three units, called: “Objetos Encantados”, “Visagens” e “Causos”.
