Sandy patch: landscape transfiguration through images

Abstract

This article deals with the sandy patch process in the southwest of Rio Grande do Sul state as a narrative, from the use of photographs. The objective is to rescue processes observed during the fieldwork and to expand the information, in this case, in a qualitative way. It rescues questions and hypotheses built from the studies referring to the sand sheets between 1983 and 1987 and its subsequent researches, which allowed the interpreting of this process since 30 years ago. The record and descriptions about this process have photography as its basis. It is a text of first approximation to the theme, intended for teachers and students.
