Amazônia: paisagem e região na obra de Eidorfe Moreira

Abstract

The intellectual production of Eidorfe Moreira (1912-1989) is marked by a strong regionalist influence. His thought, advanced in his time, focused on Amazonian problems. During the 1950s the region was subject to regional planning policies in an attempt to insert it into the dynamics of the national economy. This paper analyses the concepts of 'landscape' and 'region,' both discussed by Eidorfe Moreira in his criticism of the prevailing model of state planning.
