Abstract

This article seeks to contribute in the valorization of Brazilian intellectual production as well as the use of exposure guides as historical sources involved in global bias through the work of the ethnologist Berta Gleizer Ribeiro and his considerations about the Amazon. Pondering intellectual dynamics of production, improvement of techniques and knowledge through research material and museological exhibition, entitled Urgent Amazon - Five Centuries of History and Ecology evoke narratives and images that were important in the rupture of generic landscapes and presuppose an Amazon that is itself, fruit of connections and materialization of historical diversities. In this cultural and political experience of elaboration, performance and analysis, aim to think of the guide, published as an Art book, with fluidity of format and as an opportunity to broaden the perception of different knowledge in its complexities in a way that is able to collaborate in processes of promotion to the studies of the Latin American contexts of expositions, researches, actuations and critical formation about the environmental problems and indigenous questions of the decade of 1980 with the example of Brazil.
