  • Historical Cartography of Rio De Janeiro: Spatial and Temporal Reconstitution of Downtown
    HISTORICAL CARTOGRAPHY OF RIO DE JANEIRO: SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL RECONSTITUTION OF DOWNTOWN Douglas Corbari Corrêa 5a Divisão de Levantamento – DSG Rua Major Daemon, 81 – CEP: 20081-190 – Rio de Janeiro – RJ [email protected] Paulo Márcio Leal de Menezes UFRJ – CCMN – IGEO – Departamento de Geografia Ilha do Fundão – CEP: 21941-570 – Rio de Janeiro – RJ [email protected] Abstract The history of Rio de Janeiro is full of interesting events that are intimately linked to the history of Brazil. Since before the foundation of the city, in 1565, until today, Rio de Janeiro has been the stage for important facts, such as: the various attempts of invasion; the displacement of its primary activities to the plain among the hills; the arrival of the royal family, that left Portugal to escape from Napoleon troops; the proclamation of the republic; and the great constructions and demolitions, which changed the landscape of the city. Downtown Rio has a special place in the history of the city because it has been the center of social, cultural, economic and commercial activities during the centuries. This paper deals with the analysis of historical maps of Downtown Rio de Janeiro. During the development of the work, the following main goals were pursued: a) to build maps of comparison of historical maps of Downtown Rio dating from different and significant periods, considering the features corresponding to the streets and shoreline; b) to propose a methodology for registration of those maps in pairs, even when they do not have well defined scale, projection or coordinates. In order to achieve these objectives, four maps were selected, and they have dates of publication ranging from 1769 to 2000.

  • Using Georeferenced Maps and Geocoded Images to Enrich the History of Rio De Janeiro’S Fountains
    e-Perimetron, Vol. 9, No. 3, 2014 [129-145] www.e-perimetron.org | ISSN 1790-3769 Alida C. Metcalf Water and Social Space: Using georeferenced maps and geocoded images to enrich the history of Rio de Janeiro’s fountains Keywords: Rio de Janeiro; fountain; aqueduct; georeference; geocode Summary: Water infrastructure is essential to any city, but especially so in the history of Rio de Janeiro. Historically, Rio de Janeiro lacked easy access to fresh water. Not only was it not situated along a river but it was impractical to dig wells over much of the original city because of marshes and a high water table. A single aqueduct completed in the eighteenth century supplied the city with water until the nineteenth century when additional aqueducts began to be built. By necessity, public fountains were vital for the city. The public spaces around fountains were frequented by many residents, the majority of whom were slaves responsible for the delivery of water. Using a geospatial database with georeferenced historical maps and geocoded historical images, this article explores the waterworks of the city of Rio de Janeiro in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, paying particular attention to the functional, monumental, and social aspects of fountains. Despite its name, the city of Rio de Janeiro was not built along a river. Unlike ancient and early modern European cities that typically relied on rivers in addition to wells, aqueducts, and fountains for fresh water,1 Rio could not. Situated on a hill, named the Morro do Castelo (Castle Hill), the early city had limited water.

  • Mapping the Maracanã Aqueduct: Reconstructing the Route of Rio De Janeiro’S Second Major Aqueduct1
    e-Perimetron, Vol. 13, No. 1, 2018 [1-22] www.e-perimetron.org | ISSN 1790-3769 Alida C. Metcalf, Sean Morey Smith Mapping the Maracanã Aqueduct: Reconstructing the Route of Rio de Janeiro’s Second Major Aqueduct1 Keywords: Rio de Janeiro, Maracanã, Aqueduct, Cadastral Map, ArcGIS Summary: This paper reconstructs the route of the nineteenth-century aqueduct from the Maracanã River into the city of Rio de Janeiro using historical maps, archival records, and visual imagery. The first cadastral survey of the municipality of Rio, the Planta da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro [1870] and an engineering plan of 1845 are studied for the first time in ArcGIS and ArcScene in order to understand how the original channel, and as well as a second, underground piped conduit, came into the city. Georeferencing several segments of the same map, using modern contour data, and comparing historical maps are all techniques used in ArcGIS to establish the most likely route. In addition, historical, visual and textual sources provide further confirmation of the location of the Maracanã Aqueduct. The supply of fresh and pure water is essential to life in any city, but the history of water infrastructure is not always easily reconstructed. In the case of Rio de Janeiro, the Carioca Aqueduct is well known. Its monumental, double-arched water bridge still stands. A rich collection of visual images heralds its importance through time, thick descriptions written by many who walked its course can be found in nineteenth-century books, and archival sources document its construction, maintenance, and location (Metcalf, Smith, and Kennedy, 2016).

  • 2 Rio De Janeiro – Uma Cidade Tra(Duz)Ída Pelos Mapas
    Rio de Janeiro – uma cidade tra(duz)ída pelos mapas. Introduzindo os mapas Pesquisar mapas é como fazer o trabalho de campo de uma etnografia na qual a observação participante se traduz em um zoom mágico de sucessivas aproximações com o objeto – é como descobrir cidades que as transformações tornaram invisíveis. Revisitar várias vezes o mesmo mapa, poder compará-lo com outros e analisá-los numa seqüência temporal, assim como exercitar a observação alimentada por informações bibliográficas relativas à história do sítio que o mapa representa permite ir descobrindo cada vez mais informações antes ocultadas pelo mapa ou que o olhar habituado não estava apto a estranhar. Observar mapas antigos significa torná-los familiares, ainda mais quando conhecemos as diversas localidades que representam e somos capazes de perceber o quanto parte dos espaços e lugares se transformaram no tempo. A familiaridade, no caso, vai operar como uma espécie de facilitador do trânsito entre diversas temporalidades que se justapõem no espaço das representações gráficas e bi dimensionais da cidade capturada pelos cartógrafos, assim como um ajuste na objetiva do olhar / pensamento o que possibilita realizar sobrevôos rasantes ou não, caminhar pelas ruas, subir nos pontos de vista aéreos da cidade e desvendá-la a partir das perspectivas documentais. O entendimento e o reconhecimento de uma cidade passa pela leitura dos vestígios materiais – edificados, escritos, fotografados, desenhados – e orais de sua história. Desta forma as cidades podem ser entendidas, como afirma o historiador francês Jacques Le Goff (1990), como arquivos de pedra. Arquivos que colecionam um tipo especial de acervo: objetos que guardam a dimensão processual da vida, documentos inacabados e em permanente construção, a cidade em movimento.

Neste estudo, portanto, almejamos analisar os primeiros cartões postais impressos da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro em sua época áurea - no início do século XX, de 1900 a 1930. Os cartões postais, à primeira vista, podem ser apenas pequenos pedaços de papeis retangulares que retratam uma paisagem passada, mas a paisagem retratada nesses postais pode ser reinterpretada através de uma complexa relação social entre os indivíduos e seu meio ambiente, ou seja, eles são como um veículo de símbolos, ideias e representações. Especificamente para a cidade do Rio de Janeiro, a beleza cênica representada era um dos fatores mais relevantes para sua atratividade quanto para sua expansão e, por isso, foi tão retratada nestes pedaços de papeis. Nosso objetivo principal é investigar o contexto histórico que estava por detrás desses cartões postais, a intenção de se registrar determinadas paisagens em detrimento de outras e, assim, contribuir para repensarmos na imagem que construíram da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Palavras-chave: Cidade do Rio de Janeiro; Cartão Postal; Paisagem. RESUMEN: El apodo de Ciudad Maravillosa retrata la notable belleza de la naturaleza de Río de Janeiro y su experiencia como la capital de la República y, por tanto, sigue siendo inspiración para muchos artistas y objeto de debates y discusiones académicas.
