To inquire about space representations is to read texts that read the city, taking into consideration the urban landscape and its cultural elements, such as customs, and also the symbolic cartography, in which cross the imaginary, history and memories from the city. Through narratives about Rio de Janeiro (particularly those focused on the neighborhood of Copacabana), it is possible to trace back a specific city image that, over the past two centuries, has been subsiding in Western imaginary: the city as a place of vices and sensual pleasure s satis faction. In the collection of images that support the mythologies about Brazil in which foreign interpretation usually involves the idea of an edenic paradise , the exotic arises as an identity category. The representation made by film and tourism indus tries echoes in the literature, mainly the one that places Copacabana and its singularities in its foreground.
