RESUMO

This work proposes an approach between Geography and Literature. Basically interdisciplinary, the work presents the landscape as a converging element of these two disciplines. Under the geographical aspect, studies on the urban landscape of São Paulo and its transformations during the twentieth century have been conducted. Special attention has been given to the changes from the city of masonry to the city of concrete, taking into consideration the emerging industrial city and its influences on the new landscapes. For that reason, an analysis has been made of the work of writer and journalist Luís Martins, a regular cultural producer of this period, a man committed to his time and world. The style chronicle, highlighted in this work, is an efficient kind of literature as to the crystallization of the phenomena which surround the urban daily life, and an appropriate form of writing to capture and convey genuine and spontaneous landscape perceptions. In order to face the malleability and polysemy involved in the concepts that surround such landscapes we have used discourse analysis. So, with the use of semiotics, the landscapes in Luís Martins work have been understood as a landscape discourse. They are phenomena which bear intentions, beliefs, and affections. They are also social representations of the urban space; literary landscapes which were abundantly spread for decades by the press in São Paulo, through a number of texts and thousands of people.
