Changing urban landscapes: the case of Feirinha in Araguaína (TO, Brazil)

Abstract

The text presents the problem of the rupture in the landscape and its effects on the sense of belonging of the de-allocated subjects. This qualitative research was built through bibliographic review and interviews with traders of the former Araguaína fair. The primary understanding is that the landscape of the fair dictated the freezing of the first years of the formation of the urban space of Araguaína and, with the growth of the city, this landscape became no longer accepted in the central area. With the new fair, there was a transformation from the "place of subversion" to the conceived place of "popular fair". The mutations in the landscape provoked duality in the meanings of the landscape for the traders and for the city's population, of acceptance and exclusion from the space.
