| Sumario: | This article studies the various ways of imagining and representing the Amazonian rivers, particularly in the Brazilian context. Through the analysis of essays by Leandro Tocantins, Joao de Jesus Paes Loureiro and Euclides da Cunha, these pages discuss forms of understanding the movement of the river and its connotations, as well as the importance of rhythm and oscillation in the transformation and representation of times and spaces. Working to a certain extent from the perspective of the state’s perception –and particularly considering infrastructural projects that have characterized the way in which the state has dealt with Amazonia– the ideas of labor and incessant change are elaborated. Finally, the article analyzes a short narrative of the Brazilian author and engineer Alberto Rangel, where these elements appear developed from a fictional perspective. |
