Cartografia de Joselândia : o acontecimento e o pensamento da multiplicidade

Abstract

Developed at the Doctorate Course in Education (PPG/UFMT), the thesis “Cartography in Joselândia: the event and the multiplicity thinking” is worked out with the knowledge about the wetlands from Mato Grosso Pantanal produced in the context of Instituto Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia em Áreas Úmidas (Inau/UFMT) (National Technological and Scientific Institute of Wetlands), and especially with the local knowledge of the people from Joselândia, district of Barão de Melgaço-MT. Our goal is neither a contraposition nor a polarization between these forms of knowledge, but to create a space through educommunication and environmental education aiming at a knowledge multiplicity. Our intention is that these spaces are the stage where these events can occur, where they become visible, with the intensity of a rhizomatic event. The scientific knowledge is presented from the perspective of a knowledge liable to interact with the local knowledge, not as a knowledge that must be popularized for people to have access to it, but a knowledge which is constituted during the research itself and when sharing the results of such research. The cartography here presented was inspired in Gilles Deleuze and Félix Gattari´s ideas. With this cartography we aimed at finding a certain territory, material as well as immaterial, visible as well as invisible. This territory is the stage of our journey, with everything which constitutes it: the exogenous and endogenous elements, its inhabitants, human and non-human, its geography, the beings who live there and who make up the force fields which move this territory in a steady flow of life and death. From the research, we bring some considerations about the interface educommunication and environmental education, from the perspective of cross-cutting issues, potentially contextualizing and capable of promoting a multiplicity and rhizomatic education. Our educommunication actions were carried out at “Escola Estadual de 1º e 2º Graus Maria Silvino Peixoto de Moura”, (Public Junior and Senior High School Maria Silvino Peixoto de Moura) in São Pedro de Joselândia, and in the community, resulting in the Joselândia cartography.
