A influência do Padre Cícero na forma e imagem da cidade de Juazeiro do Norte

Abstract

This work of Course Completion aims to verify the influence of Padre Cícero in the form and image of the city of Juazeiro do Norte. For this, the research uses the historiography on the theme about the history of Juazeiro do Norte and the Father, considering the relation between both. Considering that the city was formed around reference buildings directly or indirectly linked to Cicero, it was necessary to resort to iconography, to understand the process of consolidation of the neighborhoods and the times that occurred, verifying that those that were formed during the period in which the clergyman ruled the city, have a tracing that refers to the time of colonial Brazil. The traditional center of Juazeiro was shaped in the image of Father Cicero; to verify and to register the symbolic value that exists in this process is of fundamental importance, considering that the cultural manifestations that govern the spaces of the city and in turn constitute their form and image, are threatened by external agents, such as secularism, globalization and industrialization. Registration is a way to safeguard it and demonstrate its significance to the community.
