Resumo
Cultural Geography emphasizes the symbolic dimension of ali human activity and
thinks about the sense, which men give to their environment. This work deals with
the relation between people and the city of Goiânia at the construction of a social
and spatial identity. This geographic identity is based on landscapes, stories,
representations of a community about itself and its place. The cultural landscape
is, itself, conceived as representation, formed symbolically and, in part,
unconsciously. This investigation emphasizes this feature of the goianiense
identity, seeking to see it, also, in the metropolitan identity context and the
Brazilian cultural identity. Empirical data were collected by interviews, in two
previously chosen places of Goiânia, in arder to perceive in the geographical
space of the city, in its daily life and in the imaginary, symbolic elements of the
culture. The weight of rural aspects on the self-image of local identification and the
visibility of the effects of the female prevalence in the demographic structure of the
Capital were corroborated. Furthermore, provincial features were revealed beside
images of a "Big City". The dialectical method, which understands geographical
space as material expression of the social relations, supports this research, in
arder to understand the geographic character of a range of symbolic
manifestations. The extemality of spatial organization dialogues, thus, with what
man, its subject, has as an individual character, and at the same time in its deeper
stratums, has as an universal character: his psyche.
