A Amazônia é aqui? : redes que tecem a Amazônia discursiva no ensino de Ciências

Abstract

The central objective of this research is to problematize the Amazon produced in the institutional materials from Manaus Municipal Secretary of Education – SEMED and Secretary of Education of the Amazon State – SEDUC, as well as its passage through different discursive fields such as media, literature, music, economy, religion. The empiria has as blurred and mobile margins, assuming as a triggering materiality of the institutional materials of the Amazon education secretariats, being constantly expanded by different discursive materialities through the complaints also produce and circulate statements about the Amazon. A sinuous trajectory of the research constructed by means of an artisanal logic is imbricated with the formative process of the researcher in the misled ways of researching as the creation. Discourse, knowledge, power and subjectivism are the theoretical-methodological tools taken from Michel Foucault to undertake the analyzes, in order to denaturalize the descriptions, characterizations and definitions that determine supposed truths, ways of seeing and telling the Amazon and the so-called Amazonian subjects . The enunciative plot makes an Amazon understood as real from which it is said that Brazil and the world need to know, protect and explore. The statements that emerge in the discussion are: Exuberant Amazon, Small Amazon, Threatened Amazon and Useful Amazon. They act in the making of an Amazon predominantly constituted by natural elements which present themselves in abundance and are erverywhere occupying all corners of our territory. The exuberant Amazon is bordered by the unknown Amazon, threatened Amazon and by the Amazon source of services, in which science would need to intervene to catalog, disseminate and institute the called sustainable economic ways of exploitation. The creation of an Amazon which is seen only for its nature causes its discussion field to be placed mostly in the teaching of sciences, more specifically in an Environmental Education approach of preservationist and economic bias, from which, through discursive and non-discursive practices, a conscientious and disciplined eco-consumer is produced to minimize the impacts caused on the planet by his existence.
