Falling Man: A Literatura em busca de possíveis significados para um espaço vazio

September 11 has originated a wide range of artistic manifestations which have not only searched for plausible explanations for the tragedy, but also tried to review the events. In this sense, this paper aims at showing how a novel reevaluates this episode. The attacks made the United States experience a strong sense of vulnerability, triggering reactions from the American government, whose quick action was translated into a new national security strategy, associated with the war on terror. This paper analyzes the narrative strategies employed by the American author Don DeLillo in his novel Falling Man (2007) in order to reevaluate that tragedy. The debate of the topics is based on texts concerning the relationship between literature and history, postmodern fiction and issues on terrorism. This study contributes to enrich the discussion related to the events that led to the catastrophe and its aftermath, examining characters and groups linked to the September 11 terrorist attacks, revealing multiple truths subjected to social, ideological and historical conditions.

Museu e suas tipologias: o webmuseu em destaque

The rapid development of Information and Communication Technologies - TIC, coupled with the advancement of the global Internet computer network have framed new concepts and definitions such as virtual reality, immersive environments, webmuseums, digital museums, electronic art, cyber art, among other terminologies that are becoming more and more common and are present in everyday Web users. To better understand the terminologies used to describe museum in the virtual environment, we present a summarized table of terms such as webmuseum, virtual museum, digital museum and their derivatives in order to define the elements that differentiate or resemble them. We used the bibliographic descriptive method for identifying the concepts presented by some expert authors in the field. In conclusion, we recommend the use of the term webmuseum for museums in cyberspace as the most appropriate and we define the concept, comprehending its meaning and characteristics.

Revista do Museu Paulista e(m) capas: identidade e representação institucional em texto e imagem

Este artigo propõe reflexão sobre a escrita da história, a partir de estudo das capas da Revista do Museu Paulista, especialmente durante as gestões dos dois primeiros diretores da instituição, quando certa continuidade editorial foi preservada. Tomadas como "fontes", ou seja, objeto de trabalho do historiador, as capas revelam vestígios de processos que permitem reconstruir, em suas dimensões históricas, as complexas imbricações entre a produção da Revista, sua materialidade, e os atos de leitura e interpretação que condicionam e refletem relações entre produtores de textos e seus leitores nas primeiras décadas do século XX, a partir de São Paulo, onde era editada.
