Aproximações entre geografias emocionais e a poesia de Manoel de Barros : diferentes leituras/vivências no ensino da geografia

Abstract

The research aims to discuss Emotional Geographies within the school context, based on the relationship between Geography and Literature and the works of the poet from Mato Grosso, Manoel de Barros (1916-2014). Emotional Geographies understand emotions as a source for constructing geographical knowledge, and the classroom and Geography teaching are promising paths to explore this theme. The use of literary works can elucidate the emotional experiences of students from their everyday places. In the works of Manoel de Barros, the Pantanal is a significant poetic space, which can be used as a resource to suggest teaching practicesthat integrate these fields of knowledge, proposing other perceptions about this biome. Our objective is to present a theoretical and conceptual proposition to explore how to awaken students' emotions towards spaces, places, and environments through literature, understanding their connections not only with the poetic space but also with the real space in which they live. Thus, we seek to contribute both to academic studies and to practical teaching approaches.
