“…While geographers have most often focused on the textual and contested nature of memorials, some have emphasized the importance of 'performance' to collective memory and urban space (Burk 2006b;Hoelscher 1998Hoelscher , 2003; more generally see Daniels and Cosgrove 1993). The metaphor of 'performance' directs attention to the ways in which memorial landscapes serve as a stage, literally and figuratively, for a wide range of performances such as public dramas, rituals, historical re-enactments, marches and protests, pageants, civic ceremonies, and festivals.…”

Over the past two decades, geographers have probed the intersection of collective memory and urban space. Their sustained interest in the subject reflects an understanding of the social condition of commemoration and the important role that space plays in the process and politics of collective memory. Along with other critical social scientists, geographers envision these public symbols as part of larger cultural landscapes that reflect and legitimate the normative social order. A review of the extant literature indicates that geographers scrutinize memorial landscapes through three conceptual lenses that may be understood via the metaphors of 'text,' 'arena,' and 'performance.' These metaphors are in turn mobilized through a series of analytic questions that serve to identify the interests served and denied by landscape 'texts,' the 'arenas' in which they are produced, and the ways in which they are enacted via 'performance.' This article's synopsis of the subfield's predominant metaphors and its attendant questions contributes to the ongoing cultural geographic project of articulating and implementing methods for interpreting landscapes as open-ended symbolic systems.

“…Numa aproximação entre arte, ambiente e geografia, Burk (2006) analisa que a arte pública exposta nas cidades em forma de monumentos, historicamente apresentou-se de forma impecável e alegórica, cujo distanciamento estético se deu pelo tipo de material utilizado e pelas proporções em contraste com os elementos circundantes. Como exemplo, a autora cita objetos como canhões, generais, cavalos e estátuas de aristocratas, que ornaram lugares públicos em diferentes cidades.…”

“…Assim, entende-se que novas gerações de artistas têm privilegiado um posicionamento mais esteticista em detrimento a implicações políticas e ativistas de seus trabalhos, o que contribui para a desvalorização da noção de ecologia. Por isso, destaca-se o papel político da arte e sua importância para a sociedade, reconhecendo-se os modelos locais da natureza que são a base das lutas ambientais que podem conduzir o pensamento para a reconstrução de mundos locais e regionais, de forma mais sustentável e por meio da arte (Caballero, 2014).…”

RESUMOEste artigo tem a finalidade de descrever alguns métodos, diretos e indiretos (convencionais e não convencionais), de medição de vazão em rios e córregos, discutindo a metodologia de cada técnica e seu potencial para estudos em sistemas fluviais. Na literatura muitos dos métodos aqui descritos são utilizados, no entanto, estes muitas vezes não são bem descritos e voltado para um público de nível de graduação, técnicos da área e até mesmo para estudantes ou pesquisadores de pós-graduação que venham a trabalhar com sistemas fluviais. Os principais métodos aqui descritos são através do uso de molinete, Ecosonda, ADCP e meios manuais (medições sem instrumentos de precisão). Palavras-chave: vazão, molinete, Ecosonda, ADCP, sistemas fluviais. TECHNICAL OF DISCHARGE MEASUREMENT THROUGH CONVENTIONAL AND NON CONVENTIONAL MEANS ABSTRACTThis article aims to describe some methods, direct and indirect, of measuring discharge in rivers and small streams, discussing the methodology of each technique and its potential for studies in river systems. In literature many of the methods described are used, however, they often are not well described and aimed at an audience of graduate-level, technical area and even to post-graduate students or researchers who will work with fluvial systems. The main methods described here are through the use of current meter, depth sounder, ADCP and manuals techniques (without instruments of precision measurements).

“…In the early stages of my PhD I became aware of a substantial area of writing by geographers around public art practice (Burk, 2006;Foster and Lorimer, 2007;Hawkins, 2011;Kinman and Williams, 2007;Mackenzie, 2004;Morris and Cant, 2006), which demonstrated an eagerness to explore geographical creativity. These texts mostly came in the form of geographers writing about or collaborating with artists or arts projects.…”

Practices of sculpture and geography have collaborated ever since Stone Age humans hoisted up rocks to point them into the air. The ephemerality of life was rendered in a circle of forms and mass that celebrated the union of sky, earth and dwelling. Through the manipulation of stone, the land became a place, it became a home, it became situated and navigable. As millennia unfolded, the land was written with the story of itself. The creativity woven into the story of place is an evolution of material viii I would like to express a special gratitude to my close friend Rose Ferraby, someone with whom I have been able to share a deep respect for stone and quarrying during our time as PhD researchers. I thank Rose for the many chats over the phone, for her humour, creativity, rigour and energy. I would also like to acknowledge the friendship, support and spirit of collaboration provided by Jane Bailey, Natalia Eernstman, Alyson Hallett and Andy Whall, during our shared experiences of carrying out PhDs.
