O ensino de geografia e a narrativa fílmica: o contexto ficcional do filme a Era do Gelo 4.

Abstract

The present work, developed as a requirement to obtain a degree in Geography, has as its central theme "The Teaching of Geography and Film Narrative: the fictional context of the film" The Ice Age 4 "as a teaching tool. This subject can be considered of paramount importance, since its object is in line with the new adaptations that have occurred in recent years within the teaching-learning process in primary schools, thus becoming an important instrument for teaching. This proposal aims to analyze the elements that guide the possible investigative processes and the levels of knowledge that can be obtained through the filmic reading of the cinematographic production "The Ice Age 4" (whose original title is: Ice Age 4 - Continental Drift) in Geography classes, as well as, to present to the readers how the filmic understanding is processed through the teaching-learning process in the school routine and the relations developed in the fictional space. Thus, the main theoretical framework is the various contributions that have as basis the study and understanding of the use of films, regardless of the textual genre, corroborating with the specific appreciation of the genre animation in which the film studied fits. For the proper execution of the research, it was necessary to establish a set of specific methods and techniques that are linked to the desired goal, which can be listed: the hypothetical-deductive approach and the structuralist procedure; And documentary and bibliographic research techniques. Following these precepts, we have seen that the technological resources, among them, the cinematographic production, are of extreme importance for the understanding of several phenomena and situations that involve the relation man-nature, object of study of Geography. Through this resource, regardless of its film-fictional character, it was possible to understand not only the natural behavior of the environment in which we live, but our participation as agents modifying a constantly evolving system, which we directly or indirectly need.
