RESUMO:

Human beings live virtually all over the planet. The places are different, as the
experiences within them. People live the places and, then, these places start to live
within them through the meaning attribution process. Memory processes that involve
emotion turn meaningful experiences into remembrances. This qualitative and
exploratory study have Environmental Autobiographies and all cognitive-affective

processes related as object, aiming to explore the written expression of people-
environment relation. Specifically, the comprehension of the written expression of

affectivity is done. The study was documental based and 133 Environmental
Autobiographies were analyzed using thematic content analysis. The data was organized
into four themes: the play, the affectivity, the self expression and the time perspective. It
was observed that the play phenomenon is a singular way to relate with the
environment, associated with the Gibson's concept of affordances (1983). The affectivity
is expressed through feelings related to places, and it is not possible to detect emotions
in written reports, due to its strong biological character. People use the autobiographies
as a space of reflexion, changing their own idea of self. However, the conflict among
different types of self can explain distortions in reported remembrances. It was observed
that the time perspective was represented as a linear process, marked by dates,
environmental changes and sometimes by spatial distortions that can be explained by
the access to the subjective time. The present study achieved its aims and some findings
corroborate Elali and Pinheiro (2008) and Cooper-Marcus (1992; 2014).
