Resumen
Images are resources historically used to represent multiple themes, and in geographic education it is no different. Images collaborate in the construction of geographic imaginaries and educate us about spaces, people and cultures. Based on Nicholas Mirzoeff’s contributions to visual culture and Michel Foucault’s notion of archive, we explore the visual narratives of one of the most important biomes, the Amazon Rainforest. To do so we investigated the National Geographic collection in 24 reports, published between 1889 and 2021, with explicit mention of the forest. In the 20th century, there was a progressive incorporation of images into reports, emphasizing a picturesque biome, primitive people and traditional customs, in addition to fauna and flora. In the 21st century, the main themes are environmental problems and regional conflicts over land use. Indigenous peoples have been silenced in reporting, although their images are abundant. Therefore, there is an invisibility of more plural and complex narratives related to the national reality of the Amazon in National Geographic. The magazine collaborates in the creation of visual narratives capable of teaching us about people and forests, as its images make up a fundamental element in the construction of identity, culture and even Brazilian geographic space.
