Sumario:This paper presents the partial results of a study supported by CNPq. It problematizes the steampunk scene constitution; it aims to describe and analyze this scene and its theatricalities, observing the connections of the spatial-temporal ambience, the body-media of young steamers and the memory production. The steampunk scene has been little studied in Communications with this problematization and proposed objectives. Based on authors of the Tartu-Moscow Semiotic Theory, as Iuri Lotman, on thinkers of memory-related studies as Maurice Halbwachs, Paul Ricoeur, Andreas Huyssen and Mary Carruthers – and in an ethnographic research carried out in the events Anime Festival Winter, in Belo Horizonte/MG, and Steamcom, in Paranapiacaba/SP – it aims to demonstrate that the memory arising from these groups, comes out as tomorrow’s memory, considering the creative dimension of the retrofuturism.
