Matacavalos: derivas, registros e mapas na elaboração de uma psicogeografia da rua Riachuelo

Abstract

This work is a psychogeographic investigation of Riachuelo Street, formerly known as Matacavalos, located in downtown Rio de Janeiro. The dissertation begins with an exploration of the street's historical development, which held political, economic, and cultural influence in different periods, and research into how this location influences people's behavior in order to create a collective and affective map of the street on the Google Maps platform. Additionally, an examination of the Situationists and their artistic experiments developed in the last century was essential. A study of old and unconventional maps and some concepts from the fields of Geography and Cartography also helped shape the work. The concept of collage also played a role in the research and map development
