THE FEMINIST MOVEMENTS IN TEXTBOOK OF GEOGRAPHY: UNDER-REPRESENTATION OR PRESCRIPTION?

Résumé

This research promotes reflections on the representation of feminist movements in the #contatoGeografia textbook, used in schools in the Alto Sertão of Bahia, part of the National Program Textbook (NPT) of the year 2018. Content analysis was the methodological approach through which readings and analyzes of the aforementioned collection were carried out, seeking as an a priori category the social movements, and due to the relevance of the agendas, the feminist movement established itself as a necessary category, selected after. Given what was observed, a demonstrative table was produced in which the collected data were analyzed, tabulated and recorded, then inferences were made about the category in question and its representation. We observed that, although feminist movements are somehow represented in the work, they are rarely mentioned and in a superficial way. Aware of the influence of textbooks on school education and, consequently, on human formation as a whole, it is understood that the little space given to feminist movements is a denunciation of the still incipient policy of diversity and gender equality in the brazilian educational system.
