RESUMO Este artigo efetua uma reflexão acerca da tendência, na recente produção artística visual, de questionamento das bordas entre realidade e ficção. Considerando a imagem como resultado de uma manipulação, objetiva pensá-la como imagem-ficção na transformação do presente através da multiplicação de mundos possíveis. Nesse sentido, ela é considerada como resultado do fingere e como via de apreensão do real, que questiona a memória de nossa sociedade e que reconsidera seu papel e responsabilidade na construção da história e de coletividades. Conclui-se que a imagem é potência presente e atuante para se construir novas formas de se viver.

ABSTRACT This article conduces a reflection about recent visual artistic production that questions the borders between reality and fiction. Considering image as a result of a process of manipulation, it aims conceive it as an image-fiction in the transformation of the present by the multiplication of possible worlds. In this sense, it is considered as a result of the fingere and as a way of seizing the real, which questions the memory of our society and reconsider their role and responsibility in building history and collectivities. We conclude that image is a present and active potency to build different ways of living.

The difficult processability of polyaniline (PAni) can be overcome by preparing composites with high density polyethylene (HDPE), resulting in a conducting material with improved mechanical properties. PAni nanofibers were synthesized in this research using a rapid mixing method, while HDPE/PAni composites were prepared by in situ polymerization using Cp2ZrCl2/MAO as a catalyst system. Different experimental conditions for polymerization and an electrochemical study were performed. The findings confirmed that the addition of small amounts of Pani (up to 7%) and longer impregnation (120 min) with methylaluminoxane (MAO) before polymerization are important factors contributing to increased catalytic activity. Analysis by cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry indicates that MAO reacts with the PAni in the ethylene polymerization process, and forms active species in the presence of the catalyst. Changes in catalytic activity may be due to the kinetic consumption of the active species, which become less important in the presence of PAni.
