SUMMARY:

In different contexts, the Araguaia River influenced the daily life of the population that lives, lived and experienced Conceição do Araguaia (Pará), revealing much of the geographies and histories of the place. In the life and imagination of indigenous people, country person, dominicans, extractivists, fishermen, boatmen or traders, among other subjects who were/are part of this space-time, the Araguaia is perceived and represented in different ways. Therefore, each of these groups has a particular identity relationship with the river. Although different identities are constructed (and consequently different “places”), and although Araguaia is perceived in multiple ways, we consider that each of these subjects who experienced Conceição do Araguaia could build symbolism and affectivity with this water space. Therefore, as the objective of this study, we seek to understand the identity relationship of the residents of Conceição do Araguaia/PA with the river and the possibilities of perceiving it as a geosymbol. To achieve this objective, bibliographic and documentary surveys were carried out, field work in which it was possible to carry out exploratory interviews, record photographs and participant observations, such procedures made it possible to build a dense description about the object of study. Carrying out a broader reading about those who were part of the processes that led to the formation of Conceição do Araguaia, it is necessary to consider the cultural pluricity along this space-time cut that starts from the end of the 19th century to the present day. Each of these subjects inscribes their symbols and signs, leaving ephemeral and lasting marks along the course of this river. They are social groups that shared the same time-space, but that perceive the river from almost always different perspectives. The landscape is, therefore, formed by sociocultural layers. The variety of subjects who have experienced the city results in multicultural identities that are in line with the different temporalities and spatialities experienced by these subjects, directly impacting their perceptions of the Araguaia River. Therefore, even though it is about multiple perceptions, it is possible to say that the presence of the river in the lives of these people makes it a geosymbol.
