“…A common sight in the West are rifles racked up on the rear windows of pickups, even though the weapons often serve no more functional purpose than the cowboy hat. Even in the 1800s the image of the American West and in particular the cowboy was an "invention" that has endured (Allen, 1992;Logan, 1992). Nonetheless, for Kittredge (1987), the mythology of the American West is important because it is also the primary mythology of our nation, albeit one of conquest, racism, and sexism contained within an imperialist ideological framework.…”

“…The Watchdog recently indicated that the common brogan shoe worn by the preponderance of reenactors was not particularly authentic. The mythology of &dquo;men with guns&dquo; who opened and tamed the western frontier is still resonant today and evident among reenactors (Allen, 1992;Ward, 1982). Subsequent research in The Watchdog indicated that the original replica shoe, when compared to actual artifacts, was inaccurate in several key dimensions (Cunningham, 1999).…”

“…As seen in Figure 4, a romantic notion that had a large impact on the hobby was the admixture of &dquo;Wild West&dquo; imagery into Civil War impressions. The mythology of &dquo;men with guns&dquo; who opened and tamed the western frontier is still resonant today and evident among reenactors (Allen, 1992;Ward, 1982). Wild…”

In the United States, hobby organizations participate in the public reenactment of historical events. The most popular is Civil War reenacting, which can be viewed as a manifestation of the unresolved nature of that war. Interpretation of reenacting has high potential for exploring American sensibilities. Among reenactors, the quest for historical authenticity is considered a core value. To that end, it was the intent of this research to develop a framework to assess the authenticity of reenactor's period military dress. Analysis of dress authenticity is a vehicle for understanding the underlying motivations of participants in the hobby. Demonstrated in the form of a conceptual model, authenticity can be viewed in terms of variables that either contribute to or detract from it. From construction of authenticity, cues can be discerned regarding individual responses to social and cultural conflict. Variation from the authentic can be indicative of the underlying implications of reenactor dress.

“…É interessante pensar que, para além do legado deixado pelos escritores e artistas, a terra natal de personalidades que amealharam sucesso acaba sendo valorizada, mesmo que não tenha sido tratada diretamente pelas suas obras. Este fenômeno parece ser mais intenso em pequenas localidades, que acabam despertando em algumas pessoas o interesse de visita, como se as experiências mais concretas estabelecidas com certas paisagens e lugares pudessem nos ajudar ALLEN, 1992).…”

O artigo em questão objetiva apresentar as possibilidades do uso da pintura e da literatura como instrumentos de leitura da paisagem, além de problematizar as principais críticas que recaem sobre o uso deste instrumental, dentre as quais a pretensa dissociação entre o autor, o eu-lírico e a obra. Pra tanto, a proposta metodológica afasta-se das formas neopositivistas de entendimento da paisagem, assumindo em seu lugar uma abertura à intersubjetividade. É concluído que a ausência de objetividade da pintura e da literatura é compatível com o próprio caráter da paisagem. Descrições literárias e pinturas permitem-nos enveredar para além das verdades históricas, pelo ato de intermediações de narrativas.
