Resumo: |
The aim of this study is to reflect upon the concept of The Middle East so as to understand the origin of several representations related o the term as well as to verify if the Geography textbooks for Ensino Médio (EM) selected by Programa Nacional do Livro para o Ensino Médio (PNLEM) have theoretical inadequacies or show prejudiced views of the Middle East. We start from a brief reconstitution of the concept of region in the history of geographical thought, seeking to understand its influence in the Middle Eastern spatial delimitation. This reflection is necessary due to the regional connotation of expression Middle East. We investigated different sources such as sites, Para didactic books and journals to see how the Middle East is represented spatially and we established the differences and the similarities in those representations as well as contextualized the moment when the expression was created and what factors were determinants in that process. After that, we analyzed the way the Middle East was represented in the Geography textbooks for EM. The investigation highlighted territorial imprecision as well as theoretical and conceptual weaknesses in the expression. Besides that, it found the bases of those representations in Geopolitics. The study made it possible to understand that the various views of world produced since European Imperialism in XX Century created various representations of the Middle East and that the Geography textbooks reproduce them, but they do not make clear for the readers the polemics related to spatial reach of the Middle East |
