Representações em movimento: jovens estudantes do batatal, entre o urbano e o rural

Abstract

This paper is the result of a research experienced by urban and rural young flywheel students, rural workers children, Batatal residents, located in Lima Duarte - MG. Therefore, the focus of research turned to eight young students, aged from 14 to 17 years, which, to continue the study, need to travel from their neighborhood to a school in the town. For that, I use a qualitative methodology, where the semistructured interviews, supported by photographs, seek to understand how students represent their life stories, permeated by the urban-rural relationship. The theoreticalmethodological support is grounded in Doreen Massey, Yi-Fu Tuan, Raymond Williams, Milton Santos, Ana Fani, Valmir Stropasolas, José de Souza Martins and Oliveira Jr. The photographs taken by young students express means by which the pictures define and build themselves The comments about the images produced express how they experience their movements, building an environment in which urban and rural do not appear separated.
