Uma coleção de cartões postais inspirados em marcas de proveniência de livros usados

Abstract

This work reports the creation of a collection of postcards created from used book provenance marks. Through a survey of theoretical references and documentary research carried out at Sebo Fígaro in Curitiba, my intention was to experiment with the use of self-imposed restrictions strategies, based on creation strategies of the Oulipo and Ougrapo groups, as a creative process. To this end, the Oulipo and Ougrapo websites were used as a basis for the theoretical framework, in order to understand the use of self-imposed contraints or restrictions. To understand the marks of used books, the Illustrated Glossary of Marks of Provenance and the Book Dictionary of the Librarianship area were used, to understand the biography of the book as an artifact. And to understand the trajectory of the postcards, the author Pedro Karp Vasquez was mainly used. As a result, I emphasize that working with self-imposed restrictions requires a certain discipline to remain faithful to the rules that have been established, however the creation process takes other directions that perhaps would not be possible through the already known paths.
