Fenomenologia transmidiática : cartografando o clima em Mata Cavalo

Abstract

Under the umbrella of the five countries project, the “International Researchers’ Network in Climate Justice and Environmental Education (Reaja)”, which is funded by the Mato Grosso State Research Support Foundation (Fapemat) and is coordinated by Research Group on Environmental Education, Communication and Art (Gpea), I aim to respond to the contemporary challenges of communicating climate in its complex dimensions. Recognizing the importance of communicating climate emergence as the first goal, in the specific objectives, I interpret the constructions of transmedia narratives of youngsters from the quilombo of Mata Cavalo, MT, students of the basic education of the Tereza Conceição Arruda State School. Transmediality was the guiding of edu-communication, besides assuming the impossibility of neutrality in the sciences. Encouraged by formative processes, discussion forums, and expressions of art, the students narrated about the difficulties faced with the climate crisis, what stances of resistance they took, and which concepts of climate injustice were possible in a quilombo. The research methodology used was Michèle Sato's Imaginary Cartography, which has a strong foundation in Gaston Bachelard's phenomenology. I have tried to interpret various transmedia languages in the construction process of the investigative crossing, without neglecting the potential of the results. Education, communication, interviews, artistic expressions and dialogues in cartography marked the processes of group research, with the elaboration of four media arguments: text, audio, video and photography, this latter item of great preference among young people. Burning is a recurring problem in Quilombola reality, as well as the poor distribution of water and the social and environmental clashes related to the land struggle. Without closing the spectrum to other incursions, the climate collapse is still poorly understood by the common sense, but most noticeable after social-environmental edu-communicative proposal. However, the quilombola community has received the formation and is now aware that they can tell their own stories by denouncing the climate crisis or by announcing beauty narratives of the place, as they understand that portraying the quilombo by positive bias is a way of resistance and pride, to value the permanence in their territory.
