Descrição
According to geographer Pedro de Almeida Vasconcelos, the dense periods correspond to moments of too much intensity, which occur transformative events for a city or any space. The thesis defended in this article is that the interval between the second half of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century, marked, among other things, by the introduction of the social habit of salty sea baths and the consequent seaside urbanization, constitutes a dense period for the Recife beach space production.||Segundo o geógrafo Pedro de Almeida Vasconcelos, os períodos densos correspondem a momentos de grande intensidade, em que ocorrem acontecimentos transformadores para uma cidade ou um espaço qualquer. A tese defendida neste artigo é a de que o intervalo entre a segunda metade do século XIX e a primeira metade do século XX, marcada, entre outras coisas, pela introdução do hábito social dos banhos salgados de mar e a consequente “balnearização” das praias, constitui um período denso para a produção do espaço praiano do Recife.
Abstract
SINCE THE INCORPORATION OF SEA SALTED BATHS TO THE SEASIDE URBANIZATION IN RECIFE: A “DENSE PERIOD” IN BEACH SPACE PRODUCTION
According to geographer Pedro de Almeida Vasconcelos, the dense periods correspond to moments of too much intensity, which occur transformative events for a city or any space. The thesis defended in this article is that the interval between the second half of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century, marked, among other things, by the introduction of the social habit of salty sea baths and the consequent seaside urbanization, constitutes a dense period for the Recife beach space production.
