It starts from the premise that artistic praxis prioritizes aesthetic experience at the expense of systemic self-criticism, thus requiring an external instrument for its analytical validation. The general objective consisted of developing an instrumental taxonomy aimed at researchers for the compositional, stylistic, and semiotic decoding of these hybrid representations. The methodology, of a qualitative-instrumental nature, underwent an iterative cycle of five stages: theoretical integration, prototyping (v1.0), documentary diagnosis, validation by an expert panel, and operational verification. As a result, specialized criticism allowed for the refinement of the initial prototype’s redundancies, consolidating the Analysis Sheet v2.0. This instrument is structured under the architecture of the Semiotic Triad, articulating: the syntactic dimension (morphology and style based on Dondis and Ashwin); the semantic dimension (meaning and representational fidelity based on Joly); and the pragmatic dimension (strategy and communicative function based on Twyman). It is concluded that the study provides the field of Graphic Memory with a robust theoretical-methodological framework capable of converting subjective records into systematic data on landscape and visual identity.

Sustained by a plot that intertwines the lives of the performers, the memory of Mestre Apolônio, the needs of the community, and daily resistance in the face of socioeconomic vulnerability and state neglect, the performance is a vital agent of social cohesion and material survival. Despite its relevance, these multiple dimensions of the practice often remain diluted or invisible due to hegemonic narratives that reduce the ox to a folkloric spectacle or a crystallized cultural symbol. Therefore, this work presents the research processes that sought to investigate whether and how the design-anthropology approach can contribute to the remembrance, updating, and tangibilization of the social memory of Boi da Floresta, through the co-creation of visual narratives for the future Apolônio Melônio Memorial. The research, which is qualitative and applied in nature, is based on the approaches of design anthropology and participatory action research. The methodological path was not rigidly predefined, but was continuously designed and redesigned based on 14 months of correspondence in the field at the ox shed, following the materials, gestures, and stories in the flow of the group's activities and in the relationships with leaders Nadir Cruz and Talyene Melônio. The common plan emerged from intersubjective encounters and was materialized through correspondence practices and conversation devices, which functioned as design elements open to engagement. Among the co-creative tools and processes, the following stand out: the approach through preliminary workshops; the digitization and recollection of the photographic collection; the development and application of a photo-audio-conversation prototype to evoke memories of Mestre Apolônio; participatory iconographic mapping with Graphic Design students; and workshops for the co-creation of the visual identity and expographic poetics of the memorial. The results were analyzed through theoretical and intersubjective triangulation, intertwining the narratives of the community, the theoretical framework, and the researcher's experience. Finally, the work presents reflections on the narrative and ethical character of design anthropology practice. The approach proved to be a path to attentive and non-extractivist correspondence, where local know-how and the social memory experienced by the group could become the basis for a collective project. The results show that, more than visual products, the process constituted a methodological testimony of how design can operate as a practice of cultural resistance, strengthening the narrative autonomy of the community and contributing to the active safeguarding of its intangible heritage, honoring the legacy of Mestre Apolônio and the continuity of Boi da Floresta.

This fact implies the consumption and disposal of both objects and artifacts proportional to the number of consumers. As it is a product intensely marketed in the municipality, the green coconut is a source of several adversities within the urban perimeter due to its popularity among the inhabitants. To contribute to the reduction of the impacts arising from the disposal of this waste in the urban environment, the research has as a general objective to understand the benefits that green coconut fiber generates when added to a cementitious matrix mixture. This research is characterized by its applied and explanatory nature as to the objectives, quantitative in relation to the approach, supporting its content in bibliographic, documentary and laboratory research. During this study, a control group, called the standard group (P), formed only by mortar, and two other groups that replace 2.4% (F2.4) and 2.51% (F2.51) of the cement weight with green coconut fiber, were created. These sample sets (P, F2.4 and F2.51) were examined by the following tests: Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), water absorption, compression and four-point bending. After FTIR and EDS, it was possible to understand the chemical composition of the samples without and with green coconut fiber. On the other hand, SEM differentiated the surface texture of the matrix to the dispersed phase of the created material. In the water absorption test, a reduction in the density of the F2.4 and F2.51 composites was observed in relation to the P group. It was found that the union of coconut fiber with the cementitious matrix can have positive impacts by reusing an object frequently discarded in the city of São Luís, which makes it possible to reduce the use of cement, dissolving its environmental impacts over time. It is possible to conclude that design can be an articulator of apparently unrelated elements, bringing together different areas to seek ways to understand and diagnose situations related to the conception, production, consumption and disposal of objects and/or artifacts.

Estreitando laços trabalhistas com o ecossocialismo Autor: FIGUEREDO, Taís Carneiro Primeiro orientador: ZANDOMENEGHI, Ana Lúcia Alexandre de Oliveira Abstract: The productive and political structures, both private and public, that condition the production of goods and lives today are directly related to how we create and conceptualize design. As a consequence of the socio-environmental impacts caused by this model of existence, (re)existence is a fundamental condition for a systemic shift that allows us to move forward with less and in a different way, respecting environmental rationality by understanding that we are also nature, and offering further development to the work necessary to achieve equity. To this end, design can strengthen another value-laden and productive body in this construction, collaborating with ecosocialism in parallel with the concepts of Good Living, degrowth or post-extractivism, ecological justice, and ecofeminism, as evidenced in the theoretical framework of this research. As a methodological approach, this study begins with a systematic and unsystematic literature review, articulating ecosocialist concepts with design through the contradictions presented in each of them, making use of analysis within historical and dialectical materialism with interdisciplinary theory, adding to this analysis four interviews, conducted by the author, with activists and design professionals. From then on, the objective of this research is to identify what developments design gains when aligned with ecosocialism as a science of doing, where the answer lies in political action through work. In this path, praxis is a fundamental point, and in design, this reasoning is guided by Mazzarotto and Serpa (2020), Borrero (2015), and Gustavo Amarante Bomfim (Couto, Farbiarz, Novaes, 2014), who contribute to this research by relating the political organization of Latin American social movements to a pluralistic, non-oppressive teaching approach in the field, making it possible to guide insurrections for which this science has been, and still can be, a tool for social transformation processes. Ultimately, one of the answers lies in qualifying the industrial debate for design, breaking with a certain fragmented relationship with the land, because by considering the geographical and ecological conditions of a space, it becomes possible to construct an ecosocialist design work. The research leaves openings for future studies in design in the Amazonian territory.
