Cartografia & memória: análise geográfica da obra Iracema, de José de Alencar

Abstract

The project Opening Horizons: The Geographic Space in Classical and Contemporary Literature aims to stimulate the dialogue between these two areas of knowledge, encouraging, from an early age, the students of the Geography course of the Federal University of Ceará to widen the geographical view to the different representations of the world. However, this project is not restricted to the Department; instead, it expands to high schools, searching for ways in which literature can help in understanding the discipline of Geography. Thus, this article sought not only to understand the relations between subject, time and space that are manifested through the novel, but also to report the contributions of Iracema to the teaching of geography in the Liceu de Messejana EEM during the second half of the year 2017.
