The paper entitled From Discourse to the City: Estate Policies and the Construction of Public Space in the Historical Center in Manaus argues the conception of estate in Manaus in the end of the XXTH century and beginning of the XXIST century, specifically the period between 1997 and 2012. Such reasoning takes place parting from Law-centered discourses, decrees and projects which make up the city s estate policies, supported in the discourses provided by newspapers and advertising materials from institutions involved (Iphan, Secretaria de Cultura do Estado do Amazonas e Secretaria Municipal de Cultura). The matter sought to be answered was: how and how far in have the estate discourses interfered with the construction of public space in the Historical Center of Manaus? To develop such matter, file and field research with analysis and interpretation of data were chosen, following the line of intertextual analysis from Ideas Historian Quentin Skinner, which is centered in intertextuality, with highlights for its normative vocabulary. Throughout the research, it was observed that along the range given, set out by two limits – 1997, new cultural policy with the creation of the State Cultural Office and 2012, tipping of the Historical Center of Manaus by Iphan -, five areas of the Historical Center went through a process called revitalization. This process of revitalization pointed out formal and aesthetic principles present at Manaus back in the Belle Epóque, whose spaces were built in the turn of the XXTH century to the XXIST, inspired by European patterns, and which have kept themselves inscribed in the city until the 60s, when such architectonic patterns were substituted with spaces required to the implementation of the Duty-free Zone in Manaus. Then, the model project was São Sebastião Square, which had its streets closed to traffic and the revitalization of the square around the Amazon Opera House. This was the first space revitalized and open to public visiting, in 2004, being later reproduced in other 4 spaces in the following years, suggesting the idea of postal-city. This way, this research led to be reflected that the discourses may have contributed to the construction of public space and that such construction unfolded into two paths: the revitalization of physical space and the revitalization of affective memory about these same spaces, bringing to the present space the Manaus of old. At pursuing the identification of the possible discourses which build the many cities that inhabit Manaus s Historical Center, it was hinted what could constitute estate in the local voices.
