EXPRESSÕES MILITANTES DA PAISAGEM

Abstract

Militant landscapes are individual expressions that constitute the image of the experience. They can present themselves from angles of image-landscape approach to narratives that manifest themselves as possessing materiality and tangibility. Belonging to the field of perception and distancing themselves from positivist and neopositivist approaches, militant landscapes expressions go beyond the scope of Critical Geography, going to the ill-defined domains of Humanist Geography and its assumptions. It is the objective of this manuscript to propose a theoretical reflection that supports the idea that the landscape as a phenomenon to be perceived presents itself as a militant in the act of expression. To this end, we rely on premises aligned with modern anthropology and use examples in different time periods and imagetic supports, including post-colonial and post-structuralist interpretations. It is concluded, within the assumptions of the presented theory, that all landscape expression is militant, which means to assert that every form of landscape expression is the exposure of a particular point of view on a specific portion of the planet's surface.
