Abstract

Current essay reproduces some ideas developed in a seminar within the program of a doctoral degree course in Semiotics of the São Paulo PUC, São Paulo SP Brazil. The author would like to share the Czech-born philosopher’s idea with other researchers interested in the work of Vilém Flusser. The essay is a personal interpretation of the Flusserian type of argumentation, which is extremely irreverent and to the point. Flusser’s scenes deal with man’s and the world’s evolution process, or rather, a voyage through history and through the perspective of post-history, with studies on the communication processes. They have been described in his Post-History: Twenty Shots and how to use them, book published in Brazil in 1983.
