Abstract

These notes concern the potential of filmic material in approaching different ways of representing the landscape. In short, we are going to argue in favour of film as a tool in studying migrants’ perception of the town during the Brazilian urbanization process in the 1950s in that film became a useful wayl of filling in the gaps left by the lack of historical documentation and the impossibility of direct observation of social agents in their daily lives.
