Abstract

Through the comparison between case studies of the literary museums Casa Guimarães Rosa (city of Cordisburgo - MG) and Casa Guilherme de Almeida (city of São Paulo - SP), this work intends to investigate the presence of literature at the museums' scenery. The research will focus on the museological comunication strategies of both institutions, in order to understand what is the connection between literature and the identities of which one of them. Besides, we will investigate the possibilities of musealization of the literary works. Also, the project attempts to analyse the connections between museum and literature based on an idea of a changing or humanisation role of both fields.This project has as it's major references Waldisa Rússio Camargo Guarnieri's concept of museology and texts by Marília Cury and Ulpiano Meneses, as well as specific bibliography about the relations between literature and museology or literature and museums, such as the works of Cláudia Reis and the publications of the International Comitee of Literary Museums (ICLM/ICOM). On the other hand, at the literary field, the main concepts considered were presented by Tzvetan Todorov and Antônio Cândido who, in spite of their affiliation to almost opposite theoretical lines, come closer to each other at the points considered in this study.
