Paisagem, sentidos e memória: o caso dos cemitérios aracajuanos

Abstract

This paper seeks to discuss the relationship between sensory perception, memories and landscapes with different mortuary environments in the City of Aracaju, Sergipe. Based on Sensory Archaeology and the idea that memories are part of a communicative and dynamic relationship with our perception of the places, we take as a research object the Santa Isabel Cemetery (secularized and traditional morphology) and the Colina da Saudade Cemetery (model cemetery garden). Entering these cemeteries, we realized that the performances we execute in them are differentiated from sensory aspects that the morphology of each landscape gives us, besides the mortuary events that alter our encounters with this materiality. Thus, as the memories and concepts as death can also be molded and influenced from the sensory characteristics, and our analysis of them as well.
