The aim of this work is to bring into discussion the cultural process of transformation of the brazilian landscape during the 19th century which stemmed from the destruction of large forest areas for cultivation, animal husbandry, mineral exploration, and collection of certain species of flora and fauna. On the other hand, we intend to demonstrate the concomitant diffusion and transformation of the garden of the Brazilian house that incorporated some European aspects at the moment the forest became a symbol of nationalism, being traditionally cultivated not only in urban areas but also close to buildings situated at forest cleared areas. With this purpose, we adopted as the starting point works such as With broadax and firebrand: the destruction of the Brazilian Atlantic forest (1996), by Warren Dean, as well as The mansions and the shanties and Northeast (1936), by Gilberto Freyre, taking into account also travel writings and texts from Brazilian literature which deal with landscape transformation at this period.Downloads
