Abstract

The language of animation has been occupying more and more places outside its usual universe. Among them, the museum is one of the spaces where it appears in growing prominence. Its use in exhibition design projects brings reflection on what role it plays, since its production has always been associated with fantasy and the media universe. This research seeks to discuss animation as a documentary form produced by memory spaces from the analysis of a production made by a Brazilian institution called Memorial da Resistência de São Paulo. To this end, the idea of animation and animated documentary will be discussed and its problematic involving the relationship between fantasy and reality. Also, it will be discussed the authority of museums as social institutions, guardians of memories and discourses about them, as well as issues involving the design of exhibitions and the use of technologies and languages to mediate their collections.
