MAPPING INTANGIBLE PHENOMENA

Abstract

The article contributes to Cultural Geography through a methodological proposal to map highly specific cultural themes, such as phobia. Focusing on an epistemological reflection about the representation of culture in the surroundings of a cemetery in Salinas City, located in the northern region of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, the article advocates a methodological solution based on identities and abandons the pretense of totalizing representations. The result is a useful alternative to studies that evaluate the attributes of landscape and place and a more comprehensive range of studies on perception.
