Drawing Place: subjectivity, violence, and existential fracture on Ilha do Outeiro, Belém-PA

[Original title: "Desenhando o Lugar: subjetividade, violência e fratura existencial na Ilha do Outeiro, Belém-PA"] I developed a classroom activity — drawing the image of the place — and communicate here its results in order to interpret how students subjectivate place and to refine teaching practice. Reflections move between subjectivity, place, and violence, drawing on a phenomenological approach in dialogue with the historical-cultural perspective, and supported by the drawings produced, conversations with students, and the intuition of shareable singularity. I conclude: (a) the image of the place is violence, organized around the murderer-victim dyad; (b) this mortal dyad functions as a cartographic principle for the island; (c) there is a fracture in the relations with place that demands educational practices centered on subjectivity and bodily engagement, in order to confront the "crushing" of subjective senses.
