Linguagem fílmica no ensino de geografia: um estudo de caso com o filme " Vida Maria"

Abstract

This is a study on the use of film language as a methodological resource for geographic education. It uses the 3D short film “Vida Maria”, released in 2006, produced by graphic animator Mareio Ramos. The film tells the gripping story of a five-year-old girl named “Maria José”. The story begins - with her on a wooden stool at home with a radiant face leaming to write, but due to the circumstances in which the character finds herself - if she is inserted, she abandons her studies to dedicate herself - to household chores. “Maria José “goes through childhood, adolescence, adulthood and then ages and the cycle continues to reproduce itself in other Marias such as her daughters, granddaughters and great-granddaughters. From this instrument, this work has the assertion that using pedagogical resources different from the traditional ones in the teaching of geography, enhances the construction of knowledge on geographic themes. It uses the dialectical- historical method, as a research modality in accordance with the exploratory objectives. The data collection was done using the Google Forms tool. As for the technical procedures of data analysis, it was configured as qualitative research. It makes use of bibliographic materiais from authors who speak about the language of cinema and the teaching of geography. As a result, it presents data that confirm that there is a significant number of teachers who recognize films as a pedagogical resource and who usually use it in the classroom. In conclusion, the film “Vida Maria” brings elements considered to reflect on geographical issues, as well as the life and work of men in the territory, considering the cycle of patterns observed in this family context and which allows reflections on cultural, symbolic and socioeconomic aspects
