GEOGRAFIAS EMOCIONAIS EM MANOEL DE BARROS:

perspectivas para o ensino de geografia

Abstract

The research is grounded in the understanding of Emotional Geographies, exploring the diversity of perceptions of the world, emphasizing the significance of emotions in the construction of geographical knowledge. In this context, our aim is to examine the interconnection between Emotional Geographies and Literature in teaching/learning, focusing on the relevance of integrating emotional experiences into Geography education. To achieve this, we propose a dialogue between these disciplines, utilizing poems from the book Menino do Mato (2021) by the Mato Grosso author Manoel de Barros as a pedagogical tool. The choice of this theme is supported by the growing interest in interdisciplinary approaches between Emotional Geographies and Literature, particularly in the analysis of emotions elicited by literary texts. Furthermore, the dissertation aims not only to theorize about this interaction but also to propose a teaching practice for 9th-grade students, exploring the Pantanal biome. The objective is to connect students' emotions to the spaces, places, and environments described in the poems, seeking to understand their individual connections with the environment presented not only in fiction but also in the space they inhabit. In this way, we hope to contribute to studies and pedagogical practices related to Geography education, providing a systematic guide for the application of Emotional Geographies theory in the classroom, especially in the context of the Pantanal biome in Mato Grosso.
