Geografia e literatura: um posicionamento a partir da obra "Vidas Secas" de Graciliano Ramos.

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the relationship between geography and literature from Graciliano Ramos's “Dry Lives” work, based on the possibilities for the teaching of geography. To achieve this objective, we start from a discursive analysis about the approaches of these two areas of knowledge, based on the bibliographic research that involves the topic under discussion. From this perspective of discussion, we undertook initially the presentation of some concepts that guide the organization of literature, as a field of knowledge and the geographical dimension present in the work under discussion. THE In the following we identify beyond the concepts, themes and practices related to geography, as well as geographical representations found in the novel by briefly summarizing the chapters that make up the work. With reference to Seca, the main geographic theme addressed In the book, we present the main Droughts and public policies for the region. Northeast, more specifically for the semiarid region, thus rescuing the context in which the author was inserted, when the work was written. Considering the wealth of geographical representations contained in the novel, we have established a set of possibilities for the development of geography teaching in elementary school, taking into reference to the presentation of a proposal for the development of a teaching, presenting objectives, methodologies, procedures and evaluation focusing on the relations between geography and literature.
