Echoes of the world of artists: memory and communicational articulations

Abstract

The work presents the initial reflctions of the postdoctoral project developed on the Graduate Program in Communication and Culture at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, which intends to listen to old artists of two different groups: in the fist, subjects affected by pathologies that affect the memory, including Alzheimer’s, in its early stages; and in the second subjects who build and are built identically as old based on their age. Based on interviews, using the foundations of psychological clinic and oral history, we will hold meetings with artists (musicians, actors, visual artists, etc.) seeking to perceive the voices of these individuals as subjects of communication affected by time (and often by the disease).
