Abstract

This work presents the temporary territorialities in urban public space developed in the city of Pariconha-AL, using reflections from authors such as Rosendahl (1996, 1999, 2011 and 2018) and Corrêa (2007 and 2011). It aims to identify and interpret temporary geosymbolic territorialities in the use of urban public space on the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is justified by the desire to understand and interpret a space where a cultural manifestation takes place, which in turn, is considered one of the city's postcards, seeking to analyze not only the realization of the religious cultural manifestation, but all its symbols and occupations. strategies within the cultural territory. As a methodological basis, the work had five stages: a) survey of the theoretical framework of which the main authors were; Corrêa (2007 and 2011), Rosendahl (1996, 1999, 2011 and 2018), Lima (2019), Narciso (2009), Silva (2020), Lima (2012), Saquet (2010) and Lima (2014); b) field research to analyze and experience reality; c) documentary research; d) interviews and questionnaires; e) verification and organization of the data obtained. Through this, it is identified that the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is not only attended by people from the local city, but also from surrounding cities and even other states, the use of the space varying from person to person, and together they shape the space according to your needs. It is also identified that the patron saint's festival focuses on two spaces (the sacred and the profane) where geosymbolic territorialities are constructed by the attendees themselves (social agents), which are used through use value and in some cases through exchange value, developing symbolic elements that characterize different cultural expressions, and together consolidate the cultural manifestation into a whole. Therefore, the work has great potential to contribute to the cultural territory, highlighting strong importance both for the municipality and for the entire population, in which it carries out a historical-cultural survey and arouses the interest of people from other regions in getting to know the city and religious cultural manifestation. This also makes a great contribution to the academic world focused on geographic production and sharpens the practice and desire for scientific research.
