Cinema e ensino de Geografia: uma discussão a partir do filme " Vidas Secas".

Abstract

The present work aims to discuss the use of cinema, as a methodology teaching in Geography classes. To this end, we initially started a discussion about the history of Cinema from the Lumiere brothers to the present day, about genres cinematographic and point out three concepts of cinema in order to deepen our knowledge and ideas about this century-old art. We also discuss how to representation of the Geographic Space, object of study of Geography, by cinema and, succinctly, how can we use films in the classroom, taking into account that they are countless cinematographic works that bring as a theme a geographic event as social, economic and cultural issues, regionalisms, territorialities, natural dynamics, population, city, countryside, geopolitics, prejudice, among others. Further on, we discuss on the importance of using pedagogical resources in the classroom in the current situation of the society, with an emphasis on cinema and we point out some possibilities of using cinema in living room. We also discussed the factors that prevent the use of cinema in Geography classes, such as reduced workload and shortage of DVD players, Data Show, VHS, among others, as well as the improper uses of this resource in the classroom, such as cinema as tapaburaco, only cinema. Finally, we conducted a geographic analysis of the film Vidas Seem, by Nelson Pereira dos Santos and we present a methodology for his "deconstruction" in the geography class. For the development of our work we start from a perspective discursive, in view of the establishment of a debate on the issues that guide the Cinema, Teaching and Geography. In addition, we use the qualitative approach and research bibliography. As a theoretical contribution we seek support in Barbosa (2000), Bernadet (1980), Napolitano (2011), Neves & Ferraz (2007), Nogueira (2010), among others who address the thematic in question. From this approach, we believe that we can improve, expand and change old pedagogical methods in Geography classes, considered boring, uninteresting and tiring for both the student and the teacher.
