EDUCAÇÃO PELA PEDRA: MEDIAÇÕES EM ARTE RUPESTRE DE ALCINÓPOLIS-MS

Abstract

The present undergraduate thesis aims to investigate the teaching processes related to rock art in the city of Alcinópolis, located in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul and known as the state capital of rock art. This study was conducted using the methodological approach of oral history, together with field research. Interviews were carried out with two tourist guides and two teachers residing in the municipality in order to understand the paths of mediation regarding rock art from the perspective of the mediators of this knowledge, both in school contexts and in the visitation spaces of archaeological sites. This work emerged from personal experiences during visits to the city, which enabled a connection with its history and culture. Additionally, contact with the city hall and its departments, the Casa da Memória museum, residents of the municipality, and especially the proximity to schools and known archaeological sites contributed to this study. Through these experiences, travel notebooks were created in which Visual Arts students from UFMS produced drawings that were used throughout this research as propositional objects. It is expected that this study will contribute to a greater understanding of the educational processes related to rock art in the municipality.
