A geografia dos olhares: paisagens do cinema menor

Abstract

Information technologies gain more and more space in our society, enabling communication, entertainment, production of knowledge and interaction between people (social networks, videos, games, etc.). Starting from the premise that we live in a sonic and imaginary world, we see how sounds and images are materialities that are scattered everywhere, in this way, this research seeks to take the alternative cinema to the classroom and through the language of this cinema working the central categories of geography with the students. Our proposal is that, starting from this approximation between cinema and geography, they produce short films that approach geographic concepts, making their own experiments, with the equipment that they have more access, which is the cell phone, since to work this technology in a didactic way is different, it means creating and giving new opportunities for learning. Being a professional master's degree, we developed a blog as an educational product, where the teachers of geography will find an online environment, free of charge, with films that cross the geographic categories worked in the room. Our interest is that this cinema can join geography to a relation not based on the use of the film as a resource, but as a sensitive power for the exercise of looking at the geographic space and thinking about the political, social, economic and cultural aspects in the different approaches of each film, as well as the discussions provided by each meeting, establishing a relationship of exchange, where there is transformation of looks and pedagogical reflections.
