THE URBAN LANDSCAPE IN THE LITERARY WORK BELÉM DO GRÃO-PARÁ
AS AN INSTRUMENT OF MEMORY OF HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL
HERITAGE
ABSTRACT
This article presents the findings of an investigation into literary representations of the urban
landscape in Belém do Grão-Pará, by Dalcídio Jurandir, and its relationship with the cultural
heritage of the city of Belém. Published in 1960, the novel presents a portrait of the capital of
Pará at the beginning of the 20th century, exploring urban and cultural elements such as the
Ver-o-Peso Complex and Praça da República. From the narrative of the young Alfredo, the
protagonist, the work constructs a symbolic reading of the city, integrating historical, social and
cultural aspects that shape collective identity. The research is based on theoretical references
from landscape, memory and heritage studies, based on authors such as Lynch (1988), Goya
(1992) and Tuan (1980). These concepts underpin the analysis of the role of literature in the
interpretation and preservation of cultural heritage, showing how Dalcídio's narrative
transcends time by highlighting the importance of urban landscapes as places of memory and
belonging. The results show that Jurandir's work contributes significantly to the appreciation of
Belém's cultural assets, highlighting the tension between modernization and tradition in the
Amazonian context. Literature, in this sense, emerges as an educational and heritage
safeguarding tool, sensitizing readers to the importance of preservation. The conclusion is that
the integration of literature and the urban landscape is essential for understanding cultural and
historical dynamics, and is a valuable resource for heritage education and the appreciation of
collective memory.
