| Abstract | |
This research presents some of the challenges and possibilities concerning the musealization of literature, emphasizing the exhibitional path. We searched for references in the national and international discussions on the theme, besides a research field which included brazilian, hungarian, french, georgian and sweedish institutions. In addition to the bibliographic debate itself, we briefly present the histories of two organizations: the International Comittee for Literary Museums and Composer Houses of ICOM and the National Federation of Writers Houses and Literary Heritage of France. Among the discussed issues, we approached the building of national identities and also the fact that museums - literary or not - should deal with conflicts. Based on these parameters and through the study of House Guilherme de Almeida (SP) and House Museum Guimarães Rosa (MG), we discussed expographic strategies and curatorial issues related to literature. The emphasis was put on the long term exhibitions now presented at the museums: one with no title, from 2010, at the museum from São Paulo (SP), and Rosa dos Tempos, Rosa dos Ventos, from 2012, at the one from Minas Gerais (MG). Plus, the histories of those institutions were studied so we could understand their connexion with the literary universe and the very conception of museum - not always present or even well accepted among writers houses. What we assumed to analyze the data under the light of the bibliographic discussion was that both museums and literatures have a social function. This role is composed, among other elements, by a humanizing or transforming potential. To support this concept, we brought the ideas of Mário Chagas, Marília Cury, Mirela Araújo, Waldisa Rússio, Antoine Compagnon, Antônio Cândido and Tzvetan Todorov. We understand that in spite of the antagonic positions these two are usually considered to have, there are important convergent points of view among their works considering literature\'s humanizing potential.
