| Abstract | |
This dissertation analyzes the academic production of the Department of Geography at the University of São Paulo as a fundamental moment of the critical rupture movement of the Brazilian Geography in the second half of the twentieth century. From the hypothesis that the antecedents of this movement can be found in the geographical production of that department and in the journals of the Associação dos Geógrafos Brasileiros (SILVA, 1983), it was undertaken the survey and analysis of the Master\'s dissertations, Doctoral, Post-Doctoral and Chair theses presented at USPs Department of Geography between 1964 and 1985. Such a time frame refers to the period of the civil-military dictatorship in Brazil and constitutes the socio-historical context of the critical renewal movement in the Brazilian geographic science. We understand that the establishment of the relationship between text - the academic production - and context - the civil-military dictatorship - (CANDIDO, 1981) reveals the determinations of the production and the consolidation of a critical thinking during a time of repression. The analysis of the academic production demonstrated the existence of a dialogue between the Brazilian Geography and the French Geography School, which had based different theoretical and methodological perspectives in the analyzed production, especially the work of three French geographers: Pierre Monbeig, Pierre George and Yves Lacoste. In this dissertation we analyze the dialogue between the academic production of USPs Department of Geography and the work of these three authors. We understand that the critical renewal was consolidated as a rupture with the perspective of the French School of Geography, building a Geography based on historical materialism that examines the relationship between society and space dialectically. The analyzed dissertations and theses therefore reveal a methodological rupture movement, the result of a process of critical rupture with the tradition inherited from the French Geography School and political rupture with the civil-military dictatorship, thus constituting the so-called Critical Geography movement in Brazil.
