Understanding the concept of territory from film language: the animation “The Lion King” as a didactic possibility in the teaching of geography/Compreendendo o conceito território a partir da linguagem fílmica: a animação “O Rei Leão” como possibilidade didática no ensino de Geografia

Abstract

Geography teaching has been problematized in recent years and new methodological approaches have been proposed in the light of overcoming traditional teaching methodologies. Aiming to fill a gap in the theory that involves the methodologies of geography teaching, this paper seeks to propose the use of film language to understand the concept of territory from the animation "The Lion King". Film language, added to the understanding of the concept of territory, presents itself as a possibility to the teaching of geography, as it is able to bring the conceptual - which often seems distant from the students - closer to concrete reality. Thus, it is believed that this proposal is capable of providing the development of skills and competences regarding this learning field, mainly because it allows the theoretical complexity of the concept territory to be unveiled from an interactive and pleasant language such as language. Even though it is easily accessible, it still has some obstacles in the field of education, especially with regard to planning difficulties.
