O despertar da fruição

a paisagem da Ilha de Santa Catarina vista através da literatura regionalista

Abstract

The present article is the result of landscape representations of Santa Catarina Island in regionalist literature, from the nineteenth century’s last decade until the twentieth century’s forties. It is an analysis based on thoughts from Cultural History, which sees the landscape as a discursive invention placed in a specific social context. By analyzing the representations of landscapes in regionalist literary texts, which represent "places" of Florianópolis and its surroundings, one can handle with an official visuality of the landscape, which also serves to the touristic advertisement of the Island nowadays.
