Geografias para o bem viver : cartografias em educação popular em saúde

Abstract

In the post-pandemic era, an ecosophical approach to Good Living is urgently needed. Health Geography aims to use geographic knowledge to benefit health. In contrast to the state of basic education, popular education appears as an alternative way of learning by doing. The approximation of geography with the environmental area has been strengthening in recent decades, and this trajectory has favored the approximation of geography with health. Popular education appears as an alternative way of learning by doing. This is a qualitative research of the action research type; the population studied is a frequenter of a Terreiro de Jurema in the municipality of Carpina-PE. Data collection was carried out through two workshops operationalized in the cartography of desire, in popular education in health and in the Ecosophy of Good Living. Data analysis used schizoanalysis. As results, we had the cartographies made by the participating researchers through dialogues, images and spontaneous speeches. These workshops allowed the research participants to expand their capacity for critical understanding of the Ecosophy of Good Living, through the institutions in which they are inserted, mainly in the Jurema Sagrada terreiro, in which the action of the actors involved contributed to a micropolitics of themselves, of others and of the social and historical dynamics.
