A configuração espacial do bairro de Jaguaribe, em João Pessoa- PB: uma análise a partir da perspectiva da geografia histórica (1910-1930)

Abstract

Jaguaribe is one of the most ancient and traditional neighborhood from João Pessoa’s city and, nowadays, it has a large and rich historical and cultural heritage. It can be evidenced, for instance, through of its spatial representation at which can be noticed some elements that are true statements (visual memory) of history of neighborhood, and therefore, João Pessoa’s city. The representation reveals to us processes of transformations and continuities of this space, that refers to its historical period. Ancient buildings evoke reflections about processes of materialization of socio-spatial relations, forming a rich architectural complex in the urban landscape. The following work intends to analyze processes of spatial formation seeking to understand how it influenced for configuration of actual landscape. The methodological procedure consisted of documentary and bibliographic research (interpretation of maps, reading of articles, dissertations, theses, consultation in magazines and newspapers) besides photographic records, this procedure contributed to achievement of studies of historical processes that are fundamental to understand transformations engendered in the space, as well as the preservation of some elements over time. Through this discussion, seeks to fill a time gap that contributes for understanding about the insertion of elements in the context of actual lanscape, amid other shapes that constitute the space in contemporaneity of the neighborhood.
