Cartografia do imaginário : a dimensão poética e fenomenológica da educação ambiental

Abstract

From the perspective of Environmental Education, the research objective is to present a bibliographical study of entanglement of surrealist poetics of Manoel de Barros and phenomenology of the imagination of Gaston Bachelard. This is a proposal in education and way of sensitivity by considering subjectivity as indispensable for the formation of the human being, claiming thus the alliance between science and poetry in search of the necessary transformation to overcome the social and environmental problems. Traditionally, science and poetry are segregated in the thinking of modernity, making the communion impossible between them, a factor that contributes to the objectivity totally detached from subjectivity, reinforcing the asymmetry between humans and contributing to inequality and exclusion. In this sense, emphasizing the Imaginary Cartography of Michèle Sato, methodology adopted for the construction of the path of epistemological research, consider the Bachelard’s elements as substrates to the phenomenological research: WATER education understood as a metaphor to our original constitution, the genesis of desire that will give the possibilities of scientific journey; the EARTH emphasizing the deformation, metaphoric place to overcome the epistemological obstacles, a movement of "re-learn to learn"; FIRE showing the transformation, in search of the desired change in a constant process of searching, involvement and engagement; and the AIR, aiming at renewal, metaphorising rest, re-enchantment of the research, so that a new cycle begins. We excel by building a study that may contribute to the understanding of environmental issues, in order to sketch a world that can combine science to poetry, in an attempt to understand the poetic universe-human.
