Resumo(s)
A Geografia, na sua vertente clássica, é uma disciplina cuja prática
depende fortemente do trabalho de campo. Não há substituto para o
conhecimento adquirido in situ, visto que as observações dos fenómenos físicos,
humanos e ambientais são as pedras basilares do conhecimento geográfico. O
registo fotográfico, uma ferramenta essencial do trabalho empírico, permite
trazer o campo para o laboratório e, posteriormente, funciona como prova na
elaboração dos trabalhos científicos e no apoio ao ensino. Ademais, existe ainda
um trabalho igualmente importante associado ao tratamento das fotografias em
arquivo, para garantir a preservação destes registos históricos e do
conhecimento geográfico que encerram, disponibilizando-o para a investigação
contemporânea.
Nesta dissertação, explorar-se-á a forma como a fotografia serve o
trabalho de campo em Geografia, em particular no contexto de produção da
Geografia Humana de tradição vidaliana, que exerceu uma influência duradoura
sobre a Geografia portuguesa do século XX. Para tal, recorrer-se-á a registos
fotográficos de vários locais em Portugal Continental, os quais serão
posteriormente confrontados com registos homólogos mais recentes, para
demonstrar as transformações nas paisagens que, entretanto, tiveram lugar. Farse-á uso da metodologia de fotografia de repetição para evidenciar as
transformações e os ritmos de transformação das paisagens urbanas escolhidas
para o trabalho de campo. O núcleo de referência tomado para análise será a
Fototeca do Centro de Estudos Geográficos da Universidade de Lisboa, com o
objetivo de explorar este espólio e o seu potencial como fonte de informação não
só para a Geografia Histórica, como também para a Geografia Urbana.
Classical Geography is a discipline that depends heavily on fieldwork. There is no substitute for the knowledge acquired in situ, since observations of physical, human and environmental phenomena are the cornerstones of geographical knowledge. Photography, an essential tool of empirical work, allows the field to be brought into the laboratory and subsequently serves as evidence in the preparation of scientific work and in support of teaching. Furthermore, there is also the equally important work of processing photographs in archives to ensure that these historical records are preserved and that the geographical knowledge they contain is made available for contemporary research. This dissertation will explore how photography serves fieldwork in Geography, particularly in the context of the production of Human Geography of Vidalian tradition, which had a lasting influence on 20th century Portuguese Geography. To this end, photographic records of various locations in mainland Portugal will be used, which will then be compared with more recent homologous records to demonstrate the transformations in landscapes that have taken place in the meantime. The methodology of repeat photography will be used to highlight the transformations and rhythms of change in the urban landscapes chosen for the fieldwork. The reference nucleus taken for analysis will be the Centre for Geographical Studies’ Photo Library, at the University of Lisbon, with the aim of exploring this collection and its potential as a source of information not only for Historical Geography, but also for Urban Geography.
