Desconstrução do discurso de combate à seca para uma perspectiva voltada para a convivência com o semiárido no ensino de Sociologia.

Abstract

In this paper we sought to bring discussions about two concepts (strangeness and denaturalization) of Sociology as these can contribute to the realization, to deconstruction of the discourse against drought and reflection on the idea of living with the semiarid, showing how they are part of a social construction and how sociology as a high school subject can help in this deconstruction. It is noteworthy that the identity of the northeast region is the result of a social construction, the image of the Brazilian semiarid is directly and historically linked to the image of misery and drought, for a long time spreading discourses as a region that offered no developmental potential. Over time, intellectuals realized that the idea is not to combat drought, but to live with drought, thus sought to present viable alternatives to solve the problems arising from drought, in order to enable a decent life and the permanence of the people who live. in the semiarid. The methodology was anchored to the literature review based on scientific articles, books and materials from the Internet. This work is the basis for explaining the construction of a pedagogical material, an E-Book, which aims to assist sociology teachers specifically from the semiarid region. It is worth noting that this will be made available on the Internet, given that we are in a society where people have access to the Internet in various spaces, it is necessary that the teacher incorporate into his school practice tools considered innovative. Thus, this work will develop a low cost teaching tool with relevant potential to be used in high school sociology classes. This E-book presents the drought-fighting content and coexistence with the semiarid. By making this material open and free, it is believed that it will be a useful teaching tool for the teacher as well as the student, making them essentially active in building their own knowledge. It is hoped that discussion within the sociology classes will allow the student to understand how this discourse about the Northeast Region was created enabling a discussion that makes them protagonists of change in the Northeast reality.
