On going project: 2017-2020

Anomia as a medical term is a brain disorder that hampers remembrance, it is sometimes a symptom of a tumor.

The french sociologist Emile Durkheim, in his study on suicide, rescues from ancient Greek the non-name, the unnamed - a / nomos.

Anomia arises when rules of conduct established as rules by society to achieve societal goals lose credibility, occur when individuals feel incited to violate norms, is "a condition in which both social effectiveness and cultural morality of norms tend to to zero".

In the viscera of the Brazilian inequality in the difficulty of remembering our history, of our origins, it begets the feeling of "what should not be named."
