SUMMARY:

This dissertation overflows with nostalgia and ancestry and, therefore, is a tribute from Laíse to Luísa (personification of the city of São Luís-Maranhão). João do Vale says that “everyone sings about their land”, so I decided to write about mine. An architect-artist, increasingly exercising her architect-historian side that proposes to “embroider the urban history” of São Luís-Maranhão, specifically in the 19th and 20th centuries, as a tool for experimental city reading that is circumscribed in a movement swing between “escrevivência” (a term coined by Conceição Evaristo that approaches writing and experience) and a conceptual-methodological dimension that we call hypertextual, insofar as the historiographical text is directly linked and equated with another block of information: the visual. A temporal shaping in which spatiality and materiality, in addition to the colonial trace, are systematized as a graphed and mapped representation. In this case, despite relying on academic technical-normative conventions required within the scope of the master's degree, the textual production in question seeks a dynamic, permeable and nonlinear construction, starting from the agglutination and incorporation of visuality, gestures, experience, affectivity, imaginary and sensoriality in historiography. Seams between architecture, art, city and history engendered in visual and bibliographic articulations. More than an allusion to the technical inventiveness and symbolic strength of embroidery present in the objects and clothing of local cultural manifestations, as well as in other international conceptual and artistic references, embroidery as a conceptual (graphic language and visual resource cartographic - texturing, linearity, dotted, dashed etc.) and methodological vector (as a principle of dissertation and historiographical structuring). A way of enabling the traveler-reader to make unpredictable crossings and multiple associations/accesses between image and text under “unpredictable” routes that welcome “contaminations” and dialogues between three disciplinary fields, namely: architecture and urbanism (morphology; theory; history and urban criticism); visual arts (contemporary poetics) and historiography (cultural history and mentalities). A border approximation between art and science that overflows the compartmentalization and watertightness of the fields of knowledge, aiming to delineate a transdisciplinary interpretative possibility in which experience and fruition are reestablished as the core of the discussions of the city object, beyond the architect.
