Poesia, imagens e discursos: gentes cantadas, mostradas e faladas (possibilidades de ler gentes e lugares em margens e fronteiras da geografia)

Abstract

This article is aimed to think about the people, borders and places of Acre Amazon, from incursion on literary and imagistic representations, highlighting meandering rivers, forests and cities, in the way of weaving a kind of “geographical translation” that, assuming the freedom of the literary text, can penetrate and occupy places in less rigid cracks than those allowed by science, especially if one consider that its narrative may be closer to the communities of readers. The identity construction/invention of a certain acreanidade (as the quality of belonging to Acre) is scrutinized in the interpretation of texts and images, punctuating an analysis that is also concerned with the power relations established there, i.e., an analysis that meddles amid contradictions, ambiguities, contrasts, tensions and conflicts that materialize themselves in the production of the space, as well as in the narrative and theforms of idealization of that space.
