“…It has become clear that geographical locations and space play a crucial role in stories, for example, creating social and cultural expectations, contributing to emotional identification with the characters, or enabling the contextualisation of the story (Hyvärinen, 2018 ). In addition, the narrative form of stories enables readers to experience space and place emotionally and see spaces from other perspectives (Parker, 2018 ). This is justified, for example, by “links between plot progression and movement across spaces” (Prince, 2018 , p. 175).…”

Narratives and stories are important communication tools and as such essential subjects of social geography. This paper analyses the retelling of Greta Thunberg’s sailing trip across the Atlantic to the Climate Action Summit in New York in 2019 in leading German newspapers and magazines and how her intentions are transformed through this reporting into different narratives. The research mainly focuses on examining the influence of space and place, as geographical research has revealed that spatial determinants are crucial in risk communication and knowledge generation on climate change but have yet to be studied considering stories. The paper, therefore, extends the story-based approach from communication sciences by geographical research on the role of space and place in action-based stories. Therefore, the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) is used to decode the spatial environment in narratives as an active element that shapes the narrative, and the way characters can (inter)act within these settings. The paper further develops the NPF framework through a geographical lens by focusing particularly on the selection options of spaces for social interactions and affective bonds. Thus, it becomes evident how spatial contexts and environments shape the interactions between individuals and crucially influence the types of narratives that emerge.

“…The setting is both spatial, either place or space, and temporal. A set can be scenery against which characters exist and move, or represent a symbolic force acting upon the feelings and reinforcing narrative elements (Joshua, 2018). Besides that, different aspects of spatial features contain parts of physical and cultural interactions, namely, contextual factors of social change; cultural aspects of settlement; the conceptualization of cultural landscape, and the taxonomy of cultural landscape from the perceptual theory (Shen & Chou, 2021;Pajouh et al, 2013).…”

Cultural heritage landscapes present historical and cultural civilization signs and legacies in their environment. These landscapes are also considered necessary incentives to attract tourists. Cultural heritage conservation provides tools for reaching suitable solutions for sustainable development based on tourism. Subsequently, the significance of societal identity and way of life in the past was crucial to explaining the current cultural and social dynamic. Determining the value of heritage is especially important to plan the form of its protection, conservation, and contemporary use. The study aimed to assess and evaluate cultural heritage landscape conservation in sustainable spatial settings. This study used qualitative methods by field measurement/survey interview and site observation. The findings revealed that the cultural heritage landscape value presents historical and cultural civilization signs and legacies in the environment and landscape of the sustainable spatial setting of Kuala Kubu Bharu. This study hopes to help local authorities and related agencies restructure baseline data in planning for sustainable spatial settings and appropriately develop and maintain their historical values and natural ecosystem.

“…Considerada a arte do tempo, a narrativa é um tema que extrapola as definições mais restritivascomo gênero textual, que busca relatar fatos ou uma sequência de acontecimentos -e indica, principalmente, um debate teórico e metodológico que, no que diz respeito à Geografia, é recente e marcado por interpretações plurais, se observados os diferentes lugares de fala e contextos. Enquanto autores estrangeiros e em língua inglesa discutem a narração na Geografia por meio das teorias narrativas (PARKER, 2018), priorizando a díade espaço-tempo (BRASHER, 2017;PARKER, 2018;RODRIGUEZ, 2018), a Geografia brasileira e em língua portuguesa, sobretudo, no campo do ensino, vem ofertando diversas investigações que utilizam a narrativa como opção metodológica para qualificar os processos formativos, central nos trabalhos de MARTINS & TONINI (2016), VALLE (2017), REGO & KOZEL (2020) e AGUIAR et al (2020).…”

A potência da narração na educação geográfica: uma reflexão epistemológica

2022

A busca por uma educação geográfica que ofereça plurais e diversificados aprendizados transita por uma conexão mais profunda e sensível do sujeito com o mundo e, neste sentido, a narração adquire uma potência reveladora dessas possibilidades na medida em que permite (re)mobilizar o lado artístico da Geografia. Partindo do pressuposto que o diálogo entre Ciência e a Arte esteve, por muito tempo, adormecido no interior das reflexões epistemológicas da Geografia - fato relacionado ao domínio da hiperespecialização científica, organizado pelo método pragmático-positivista - os modos de fazer e pensar Geografia também foram, em alguns momentos, reduzidos e limitados, por exemplo, às operações estritamente descritivas; e, ainda hoje, a despeito dos avanços nas áreas correlatas, sofre com o reducionismo das possibilidades de leituras de mundo. Assim, o presente artigo, de cunho teórico e conceitual, reforçado pela pesquisa exploratória e revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema, objetiva refletir a relação entre a narração e a Geografia, buscando ir além do seu uso como recurso metodológico, mas evidenciando a dimensão do sensível e o treinamento do olhar. Nesse diálogo entre ideias e pensadores, intentamos preencher uma lacuna e apontar para caminhos geográficos que contribuam para a ampliação do debate epistemológico que permeia a educação geográfica.
