This picture, was also valued the question of identity, as the (re) meaning of a place is revealed in the existence of an identity. For indigenous fishing highlighted as a major subsistence practices associated with agricultural and other extractive activities. This heritage is still present in the Riverine Communities in the state. This way, we sought to understand the place from the culture in this riverside city, what cultural resistance still exist for those who came from the interior of Amazonas state and other states of Brazil to the Riverside Communities located near the city of Manaus, and with the influences of urban culture have contributed to a new configuration of live of fishermen who live here. / Esta dissertação foi fundamentada numa abordagem cultural dentro da geografia e teve como base de sustentação a fenomenologia que busca por meio da experiência humana, individual, e cultural dar sentido ao espaço percebido tal como ele se apresenta, destacando a intencionalidade da percepção, buscando reconhecer possibilidade metodológica na ciência geográfica centrada na percepção do mundo vivido dos ribeirinhos que vivem na cidade, em particular os pescadores citadinos. Diante deste quadro, também foi valorizada a questão da identidade, pois a (re) significação de um lugar revela-se na existência de uma identidade. Para os povos indígenas a pesca se destacava como uma das principais práticas de subsistência associada às demais atividades extrativistas e agrícolas. Essa herança cultural ainda se faz presente nas Comunidades Ribeirinhas do interior do Estado. Dessa forma, foi buscado compreender o lugar a partir da cultura ribeirinha presente na cidade, quais resistências culturais ainda persistem para aqueles que vieram do interior do Estado do Amazonas e de outros Estados do Brasil para as Comunidades Ribeirinhas localizadas nos arredores da cidade de Manaus, e quais as influências da cultura urbana contribuíram para uma nova configuração dos modos de vida dos pescadores que aqui vivem.

Este trabalho é um estudo de caso, inserido na problemática do planejamento urbano, quando se pretende pontuar circunstâncias e conseqüências das ações de intervenção do poder público municipal sobre a área desse sítio histórico urbano. Destacamos que, na última década, especialmente entre os anos de 2000 e 2010, esse sítio histórico urbano, passou por transformações devido a intervenções realizadas pelo poder público municipal. Nesse recorte buscamos perceber as formas; a aparência original dos prédios; a descaracterização das edificações e a substituição dos mesmos; o traçado das ruas; a conservação da área verde e do patrimônio ambiental, como também, a ocupação e o uso do solo com as novas atividades comerciais e de lazer, tendo como exemplo, o complexo Orla Taumanan. Nessas contradições entre as políticas de reurbanização e as propostas de revitalização, questionamos de que forma o poder público e a sociedade civil estão reagindo? Partimos do entendimento de que tanto a sociedade quanto o poder público, não perceberam a importância do patrimônio cultural e natural do lugar. Acreditamos que o processo de revitalização pode incorporar e valora o espaço urbano e o patrimônio arquitetônico com todo o valor simbólico herdado da formação inicial do núcleo embrionário existente. Sendo assim, a carência de investigação e a urgência de um entendimento acerca desse assunto, que trata da proteção do sítio urbano histórico de Boa Vista, fornecerá subsídios para futuras políticas públicas, que são essenciais para proteger a área enfocada, trazendo benefícios para a sociedade. / This thesis proposes theme is a case study, which concerns to urban planning, relating to circumstance and consequence actions for intervention in the municipality on the grounds of urban historical place. We highlight that, in the last decade, particularly from 2000 to 2010, this urban historical place, changed dramatically because of interventions carried through the municipality. As for this, we search for shapes; the original look of the buildings and their deconstruction and replacement; the routes of the streets; the conservation of the green area and the environmental patrimony, as well as, the occupation and the use of the ground as new commercial and leisure activities, for instance, the Orla Taumanan. In these contradictions between reurbanization politics and the revitalization proposals, we ask: how the public power and the civil society are reacting? We agree that not only the society but also the public power do not realize the importance of cultural and natural patrimony of the place. We believe that the revitalization process may unite and value all urban area and the architectural patrimony with their symbolic value inherited from the initial formation of an existing embryonic nucleus. As for this, the lack of researches and an urgent agreement relating to this field, that deals with the protection of the historical urban place in Boa Vista, will supply subsidies future public politics, which are essential for protection of the focused area, bringing benefits for the whole society.

The recent civil war in Sierra Leone (1991-2002) saw massive migrations amongst the civilian population and widespread damage to villages and towns. This study combines elements of military and cultural geography to ask the questions of how the events of the war changed the cultural landscape and how the cultural landscape influenced the course of the war. Fieldwork for this study was conducted during the summer of 2005 in the Eastern Province and included numerous semi-structured interviews regarding the landscape histories of villages, towns, and various temporary camps. These findings revealed that a clear relationship existed between the civil war and the cultural landscape. On the one hand, the war caused dramatic changes in the morphology of the cultural landscape, creating three distinct landscapes (pre-war, wartime, and post-war), while on the other hand the cultural landscape went far to structure the character of the war. In order to understand how the cultural landscape structured the war one must first consider how the landscape was perceived by each major faction (Revolutionary United Front, Sierra Leone Army, and Civil Defense Forces) as presenting a unique set of risks and opportunities. This perception was based in their strategic intentions and capabilities. Intentions can be understood as military objectives (derived from political goals), while capabilities can be understood as factors which constrain and enable action. Since each faction had different military objectives and capabilities they each perceived the landscape in a unique manner and this perception influenced their military operations. It is recommended that cultural geographers begin to study the impacts of war on the landscape and that military geographers expand their focus on the physical landscape by taking into account the role of the cultural landscape and environmental perception.

This thesis focuses on the ways in which Janet Morton’s installations explore geographic and architectural spatial arrangements, and the ways in which these arrangements reproduce hierarchies of gender, race, and class. As cultural geographers and architectural historians have argued, and as I argue in the context of Morton’s work, architecture and geography exist in a reciprocal relationship with the social context in which they exist. Consequently, social histories that amass in politicized spaces referred to as “home,” such as gendered suburban houses, urban shelters, segregated neighbourhoods, are often marginalized. By discussing the way Morton’s work alludes to marginalized social and spatial histories within home environments, I demonstrate the ways that mainstream understanding of the subordination of marginalized groups is informed by sociospatial histories. / Thesis (Master, Art History) -- Queen's University, 2007-08-07 15:32:00.667

Recent literature in cultural geography has turned its attention to the enactment of landscape through performance. Drawing upon the insights of new cultural geography and non-representational theory, this thesis examines the performative enactments of “place” through the production of landscape representations on the Islands of the Salish Sea. In particular, I adopt a narrative approach to consider how the embodied and discursive performances of becoming-artist and the enactment of landscape are co-constituted. Through a comparative case study of four Islands in the Salish Sea – San Juan, Lopez, Salt Spring, and Pender Islands – the current study provides an embodied account of the practices of landscape representation based upon fieldwork, participant observation, and 13 semi-structured interviews with landscape artists on the Islands. This is followed by a thematic analysis of recurring imagery in landscape paintings with a focus on representations of the rural scene, property relations, nationalism, and “unpeopled” landscapes. I conclude that landscape representations are both discursive and experiential in their performative enactments of place. / Graduate / 0366 / jolenejackson12@gmail.com

This thesis presents a multi-sited and multi-scalar ethnography of the processes and practices through which producers attempt to designate food as heritage. Grounded in cultural geography, it adopts a cultural economy approach to addressing concerns within agro-food studies by joining in conversation notions of heritage, place-making and time. By underlining the intrinsic relation between articulations of time and constructions of place, this thesis further maps the alternative geographies of food. It engages with three overarching questions, drawing on research conducted within two heritage-based food initiatives in Mexico and Scotland, both linked to the Slow Food movement. These produce, respectively, a traditional sweet called pinole and 'real' bread. The thesis asks: what objectives are pursued through the heritagisation of food whereby various actors strategically coin foods as heritage? How is time articulated in the discourse of heritage food, and how do heritage food networks and producers understand time as a component of food quality? Finally, what senses of place emerge from the various uses of time as a quality in global, translocal and local heritage food discourses? This thesis explores Slow Food's heritage qualification scheme and the ensuing commodification of heritage food, as well as translocal networks, and practices of 'slow' production. Through empirical engagements it argues that the qualification of heritage foods is multifunctional and that various articulations of time enable small-scale producers to engage with a plethora of socio-economic and political issues. Numerous and at times conflicting constructions of place surface from the discourses woven around these two heritage products and problematise identity formation and narratives of the past linked to producers and communities. This thesis concludes that the constructions of place associated with heritage foods depend not only upon the authority and circumstances of actors articulating a heritage discourse, but also on the scale of the dissemination of that discourse, and on the notions and understandings of time associated with heritage and place.

O cartão-postal, meio de comunicação do século passado, ganhou popularidade e constituiu um item para colecionadores. Privilegiando as imagens das cidades, a produção dos cartões-postais está repleta de uma carga simbólica das formas, uma linguagem própria que a semiologia icônica nos ajuda a compreender. Nesse sentido, a geografia cultural, preocupada com o papel e o lugar da cultura na produção do espaço, é a base conceitual deste trabalho, sobretudo, por meio da releitura do conceito de paisagem ligado às tradições do romantismo alemão. Assim, tendo como objeto de estudo os cartões-postais que representam a natureza e a cidade do Rio de Janeiro no período de 1900 a 1935, pretende-se, nesta dissertação, interpretar e compreender a construção simbólica que se fez da imagem da cidade do Rio de Janeiro a partir da leitura das paisagens cariocas apresentadas em seus cartões-postais. Sendo assim, verificaram-se, na análise dos signos, mensagens vinculadas às ideias de paraíso tropical e cidade moderna. Ambas, interrelacionando-se, contribuíram para a construção da representação de Cidade Maravilhosa. / Postcards, way of communication of the last century, gained popularity and was items for collectors. Focusing on images of cities, production of postcards was filled with a symbolic power of its forms, its own language that iconic semiology helps us to understand. In this sense, cultural geography, concerned with function and place of culture in production of space, is the conceptual basis of this work, especially the reinterpretation of the concept of landscape which is connected to traditions of German romanticism. Therefore, the object of this study is postcards which represented nature and the city of Rio de Janeiro during the period between 1900 and 1935. This work also intends to interpret and understand symbolic constructions of the image of Rio de Janeiro, from the reading of landscapes of this city which are presented in those postcards. Thus, in the analysis of signs, messages connected to ideas of tropical paradise and modern city were also analyzed. Both are interrelating and contribute to construction of the representation of Cidade Maravilhosa (The Marvelous City).

Com o advento de novas tecnologias, a utilização de recursos audiovisuais para a elaboração e difusão de saberes vem se intensificando, muitas vezes como tema central para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas. Ao mesmo tempo, questões relativas à Diversidade e ao Patrimônio Cultural estão em evidência nas políticas culturais e também nos estudos acadêmicos. Diante desse contexto, o objetivo da presente pesquisa é articular essas vertentes, analisando a potencialidade dos registros de práticas culturais a partir das intersecções entre a História Oral e a Linguagem Audiovisual, concretizadas em documentários etnográficos. Além de empoderar comunidades que participam da produção e difusão desses registros audiovisuais, reconhecendo sua importância social e narrando sua própria história, constatamos, por meio de uma ação educativa a partir da recepção de documentários por parte de alunos do ensino superior em Geografia, que o material produzido tem o potencial pedagógico, em sentido lato, de aproximar diferentes contextos culturais e promover relações de identidade e alteridade mediadas pelo audiovisual. A abordagem etnográfica em sala de aula indicou que, por captar atenção e emoção, a linguagem audiovisual é capaz de favorecer a imersão dos espectadores nos modo de vida, na realidade que se registra e se apresenta, trabalhando as geograficidades e historicidades de distintas comunidades para contextualizar as diferenças e conviver com outros modos de ser e estar no mundo, promovendo a diversidade cultural. / The production and use of images have always been present throughout the history of geographical thought and in anthropological studies. With the advent of new technologies, the use of audiovisual resources for the development and dissemination of knowledge has intensified, often as central to the development of research. At the same time, issues relating to diversity and cultural heritage are evident in cultural policies as well as in academic studies. In this context, the aim of this research is to articulate these aspects, analyzing the potential of the records of cultural practices from the intersections between oral history and Audiovisual Language, implemented in ethnographic documentaries. In addition to empowering communities participating in the production and dissemination of these audiovisual records, recognizing their social importance and narrating his own story, found through an educational action from the reception of documentaries by students in higher education in geography, the produced material has the pedagogical potential in the broad sense, to approach different cultural contexts and promote identity and alterity relations mediated by audiovisual. The ethnographic approach in the classroom indicated that, by capturing attention and emotion, audiovisual language is able to favor the immersion of spectators in life so in fact that records and displays, working the geograficidades and historicity of different communities to contextualize the differences and get along with other ways of being in the world, promoting cultural diversity.

Ao contrário, esses símbolos refletem uma realidade histórica e, ao mesmo tempo, portam-se como uma crônica viva de um povo e de uma nação, sendo que nela também está embutido o espaço geográfico, suas influências e suas relações. Foi somente com a Constituição Republicana de 1891, que as províncias foram transformadas em Estados Federados e poderiam adotar de forma oficial, hinos, bandeiras e brasões, desde que não omitissem nesta hierarquia os símbolos nacionais; entretanto, o uso destes símbolos no Brasil já se fazia presente desde os primeiros séculos de colonização portuguesa. Ao se analisarem os símbolos estaduais brasileiros, encontram-se em suas estruturas semânticas e sintáticas fortes relações que envolvem representação da natureza, paisagem, lugar, economia, território e região. As conclusões deste trabalho apontam para o fato de que os hinos, as bandeiras e os brasões dos Estados brasileiros demonstram amplas possibilidades de pesquisa dentro da ciência geográfica, pois estes documentos simbólicos portam-se como “testemunhos” no espaçotempo, cujo caráter gráfico e narrativo revelou em suas múltiplas conexões com o geográfico uma nova perspectiva e possibilidade no que se refere à análise e desvendamento das formas culturais de representação espacial. / Flags and banners, shields and coats of arms, anthems and songs are not simply artistic and musical compositions which were created due to the vanity or fantasies of powerful kings, dukes, rulers, governors, countries and regions throughout time. Instead, those symbols reflect a historical reality and not only they stand as an alive chronicle of a people and a nation, but also they represent the geographical space, its influences and its relationships. It was only after the Republican Constitution of 1891 that the provinces were transformed into Federated States and they could officially adopt anthems, flags and coats of arms, as long as they didn't omit, in this hierarchy, the national symbols. However, these symbols had been already used in Brazil since the first centuries of Portuguese colonization. This analysis of the Brazilian States symbols, as well as their semantic and syntactic structures, aimed to demonstrate the strong connections involving the representation of the nature, landscape, places, economy, territory and regions. The conclusion of this dissertation shows that anthems, flags and the coats of arms of Brazilian States demonstrate wide research possibilities in the geographical science because these symbolic documents stand as “testimonies” in space and time, whose graphic and narrative character has revealed in its multiple connections with the geographical; a new perspective and possibility regarding the analysis and unveiling of the cultural forms of spatial representation.

Na Amazônia brasileira, a paisagem é fruto da relação entre sociedade e Natureza. Ali, vivem comunidades indígenas e comunidades tradicionais, como ribeirinhos e seringueiros, cuja sobrevivência está relacionada diretamente aos recursos naturais que a floresta amazônica oferece. No entanto, as formas de ocupação amazônica, no decorrer dos anos, vêm afetando diretamente, e de modo negativo, os povos da floresta. A comunidade indígena, objeto deste estudo, da etnia Apurinã, vive na região do médio rio Purus, afluente da margem direita do Rio Amazonas, desde o século XIX. Eles possuem uma relação direta com a Natureza e não estão isolados deste processo histórico. Nossa abordagem analisa a paisagem amazônica, através do estudo de caso realizado com a comunidade indígena Apurinã do Igarapé Mucuim (AM), com a finalidade de investigar por que pode ser identificada como comunidade conservacionista, e quais fatores determinam a sustentabilidade, ao mesmo tempo em que aponta as principais ameaças para a conservação ambiental e preservação cultural diante das influências capitalistas prevalentes na região amazônica. / Abstract: Each people, each culture has a way differentiated of to appropriate of the geographic space, constructing in it social representations and territories/landscape identities, forming the cultural landscape. In the Brazilian Amazônia, the landscape is fruit of the relation between society and Nature. There, aboriginal communities and traditional communities, as "ribeirinhos" and seringueiros live, whose survival is related directly to the natural resources that the Amazonian forest offers. However, the forms of Amazonian occupation, in time, come directly affecting, and in negative way, the peoples of the forest. The aboriginal community, object of this study, the etnia Apurinã, lives in the region of the region river Purus, tributary of the right edge of the River Amazon, since century XIX. They possess a direct relation with the Nature and they are not isolated of this historical process. Our boarding analyzes the Amazonian landscape, through the study of case realized with the aboriginal community Apurinã of Igarapé Mucuim (AM), with the purpose to investigate why it can be identified as sustainable community, and which factors determine the sustainable, at the same time that points the main threats to the environmental conservation and cultural preservation in front of the capitalist influences in the Amazon region. / Doutor
