O uso da fotografia na Educação Ambiental: tecendo considerações

Abstract

This article investigates the contributions of photography as a methodological and educational resource within Environmental Education for the development of acting and participative people in the socioenvironmental process. The literature review included since important historical premises in the consolidation of the current environmental scenario - going deeper into the consolidation of environmental education in Brazil -, the view of a "green person", and the characterization of a critical environmental education, until the presentation of a survey of methodologies currently in use in that area, highlighting photography as an immediate possibility. A reflection on the interface between photography and environmental education is then presented, pointing out the advantages of this theoretical and methodological alliance for the development of sensible, critical and acting people in the environmental area.
