Abstract

This project is a part of the Masters Project "Literatura e Museu: Estudo dos Museus Literários Casa Guilherme de Almeida (SP) e Casa Guimarães Rosa (MG)", that investigates, at the writers house museums, strategies of musealisation of literature, especially those connected to the field of museological communication. We emphasize the studies of the long term exhibitions. Considering that the brazilian scientific community has only started researching in this field, it is necessary to go abroad in order to consult bibliographic material there are not avaiable in our libraries our on line. Plus, it will be an opportunity to exchange knowledge with other researchers and professionals from the literary museums area. In France we can find the headquarters of the International Council for Museums, the National Federation of Writers Houses and Literary Heritage and also academic researches about writers houses and literary museums. There, we will get some indispensable references for the good development of our Masters Project.The field research is also essential, because it will enlarge our repertoire of literary exhibitions and, this way, the repertoir of strategies of muselisation. The technical visits will allow a better compehension about the french scenario of pratices and researches about literary museums and writers houses. (AU)
