Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract

Photographicity is, resembling humanist photography, geographicity in poetic images, photopoems. The stages for this essay are the enactments and performances of Círio de Nazaré festivities in Belém do Pará. In order to identify and make this photographicity real, we first focus on the development of humanist photography as inspiration. Second, we deal with the geographicity or the singularity of human life in relation to the mode of spatial existence based on social practices. Finally, we turn to poetry from the Amazonian aesthetic poetic imaginaire through the concept of semiotic conversion understood as the symbolic change in the cultural context. Methodologically, the photographicity of Círio de Nazaré will be built on the intersection of humanistic photography, geographicity and poetry. From this intersection, the objective is to expand and encourage humanist geographical analyses in human landscapes.

The individual is not isolated but rather inserted in their place in the group, family, city.	Man is removed from himself. The individual is a body without a history.
Humanistic face like that of an urban landscape, with an ample background.	Urgency gives individuals meaning, in the face of desolation and lack of values of their own.
