Floresta Protetora: a space for the production of cultural identities and relations with the environment

Abstract

This article aims to develop an analysis of the discourse communicated by the exhibition “Floresta Protetora”, located in the Paineiras visitor center of the Tijuca National Park. Through the study of the various exhibition elements and the articulation between them, we aim to point out how the communication of heritage references takes place within an exhibition that addresses the history of the relationship between human beings and nature, aiming to understand how the communication of this heritage sensitizes visitors in the construction of their identities and worldviews. Key words: Floresta Protetora. Tijuca National Park. Nature. Identities. Discourse.
