A psicogeografia no ensino de geociências no espaço construído: experiências nos shopping centers da Grande Florianópolis

Abstract

The psychogeography is a research method developed by the Situationists, an avantgarde antiart movement. It explores the search, discovery, encounters and reactions produced by wandering (derive) and performing in urban space. It was adapted for teaching of geology in urban space. Two shopping centers of Metropolitan area of Florianópolis were selected for this educational experience. The purposes were perception of geology in constructed space, describing of decorative rocks, visualization of their geoaesthetics, criation of situations, study of reactions, popularization of geology and questioning of concepts of art and consuming. The attention was concentrated on rocks on the floors, walls and balcons. This strange behaviour produced reactions in people, but curiosity was covered by analysis. It did not permitted interactions and popularization of geology. However, the psychogeography consists in an interesting method to teach urban geology.
