Application of Ifsar Technology in Topographic Mapping: JUPEM’s Experience
Authors: Zakaria Ahamad
Published: May 2018

Abstract. The application of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IFSAR) in topographic mapping has increased during the past decades. This is due to the advantages that IFSAR technology offers in solving data acquisition problems in tropical regions. Unlike aerial photography, radar technology offers wave penetration through cloud cover, fog and haze. As a consequence, images can be made free of any natural phenomenon defects. In Malaysia, Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia (JUPEM) has been utilizing the IFSAR products since 2009 to update topographic maps at 1 : 50,000 map scales. Orthorectified radar imagery (ORI), Digital Surface Models (DSM) and Digital Terrain Models (DTM) procured under the project have been further processed before the products are ingested into a revamped mapping workflow consisting of stereo and mono digitizing processes. The paper will highlight the experience of Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia (DSMM)/ JUPEM in using such technology in order to speed up mapping production.
Map templates in a European Research program: emerging consensus, without compromising cartographic innovation
Authors: Zanin Christine , Ysebaert Ronan
Published: May 2018

Abstract. Maps are produced to represent geography and spatial organization of natural or human features. They deliver spatial forms where each graphic object have its influence and can change the perceived message. The cartographic realization participates to the geographical analyzes and helps their memorization. Adding innovation to this achievement ensures a perception and understanding of the scientific information delivered. The question is to understand what innovation is, when we speak about cartography. The underpinnings of the design and delivery of these representations are surely linked to developments in theory and technology applied to the geosciences, but not only. The purpose of this paper is to offer some ideas on the influence of an institutional framework on innovation and the relevance of a cartographic realization. Based on the example of the cartographic models construction in the framework of the research projects financed by the ESPON (European Observation Network for Territorial Development and Cohesion) Programme, we try to show how a framework that is too strict and fixed upstream of cartographic design can lead to a homogeneous and stereotyped production, without innovation or simply cartographic originality. In conclusion, we show how a close negotiation between funders and cartographers can help to evolve the cartographic scheme in place. Several proposals are put forward.

Estimating changes in urban land and urban population using refined areal interpolation techniques
Authors: Zoraghein Hamidreza , Leyk Stefan
Published: May 2018

Abstract. The analysis of changes in urban land and population is important because the majority of future population growth will take place in urban areas. U.S. Census historically classifies urban land using population density and various land-use criteria. This study analyzes the reliability of census-defined urban lands for delineating the spatial distribution of urban population and estimating its changes over time. To overcome the problem of incompatible enumeration units between censuses, regular areal interpolation methods including Areal Weighting (AW) and Target Density Weighting (TDW), with and without spatial refinement, are implemented. The goal in this study is to estimate urban population in Massachusetts in 1990 and 2000 (source zones), within tract boundaries of the 2010 census (target zones), respectively, to create a consistent time series of comparable urban population estimates from 1990 to 2010. Spatial refinement is done using ancillary variables such as census-defined urban areas, the National Land Cover Database (NLCD) and the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) as well as different combinations of them. The study results suggest that census-defined urban areas alone are not necessarily the most meaningful delineation of urban land. Instead, it appears that alternative combinations of the above-mentioned ancillary variables can better depict the spatial distribution of urban land, and thus make it possible to reduce the estimation error in transferring the urban population from source zones to target zones when running spatially-refined temporal areal interpolation.
Brief retrospection on Hungarian school atlases
Authors: Klinghammer István , Reyes Nuñez José Jesús
Published: May 2018

Abstract. The first part of this article is dedicated to the history of Hungarian school atlases to the end of the 1st World War. Although the first maps included in a Hungarian textbook were probably made in 1751, the publication of atlases for schools is dated almost 50 years later, when professor Ézsáiás Budai created his “New School Atlas for elementary pupils” in 1800. This was followed by a long period of 90 years, when the school atlases were mostly translations and adaptations of foreign atlases, the majority of which were made in German-speaking countries. In those years, a school atlas made by a Hungarian astronomer, Antal Vállas, should be highlighted as a prominent independent piece of work. In 1890, a talented cartographer, Manó Kogutowicz founded the Hungarian Geographical Institute, which was the institution responsible for producing school atlases for the different types of schools in Hungary. The professional quality of the school atlases published by his institute was also recognized beyond the Hungarian borders by prizes won in international exhibitions. Kogutowicz laid the foundations of the current Hungarian school cartography: this statement is confirmed in the second part of this article, when three of his school atlases are presented in more detail to give examples of how the pupils were introduced to the basic cartographic and astronomic concepts as well as how different innovative solutions were used on the maps.
Chinese Mapped America Before 1430
Authors: Lee Siu-Leung
Published: May 2018

Abstract. Qualitative and quantitative comparison of Kunyu Wanguo Quantu (the 1602 Chinese world map) and contemporaneous world maps by Mercator (1569), Ortelius (1570) , Mercator’s Arctic map (1595), and Plancius (1594) in particular, reveals that the Chinese map is not an adapted copy from European maps. The Chinese world map includes geography of a pre-Renaissance Europe and American geography unknown to Europeans until more than 200 years after Ricci’s death. Approximately 50 % of the place names, including those of America, have no equivalents on European maps. Chinese names descriptive of the geographic feature of California peninsula, Mount Ranier, the fjords of Alaska, Mount Denali, tidal bore near Anchorage are all accurate by latitudes. Chile and Peru are correct by relative longitude. Contrarily, the maps by Plancius and Mercator are erroneous and ambiguous on the geography of North and South America. The geography and text of the Chinese world map are consistent with a completion date of 1430, some sixty years before Christopher Columbus’ first voyage. Martino Martini’s Novus Atlas Sinensis (1655) is not a survey of his own but translated from Chinese sources, revealing that Ming China was capable of determining longitude/latitude on land and ocean, as well as spherical projection. In conclusion, information about American geography was transferred from China to Europe, not the reverse. The Chinese world map Kunyu Wanguo Quantu is the result of Chinese circumnavigation and survey, pioneering the Age of Exploration, overturning 600 years of misinterpreted history.

-hóhta’hané: Mapping Genocide & Restorative Justice in Native America
Authors: Lucchesi Annita
Published: May 2018

Abstract. This thesis explores critical decolonial cartography as a possible language for communicating and better understanding complex, intergenerational experiences of genocide and colonialism among Native American peoples. Utilizing a self-reflexive methodology, this work makes interventions in Native American and indigenous studies, comparative genocide studies, historiography, and geography to argue for more expansive languages with which to grapple with Native experiences of genocide. In so doing, this paper also asserts the need for indigenous narrative self-determination, development of decolonial epistemologies and praxes on genocide, and languages for violence that are specifically designed to facilitate dialogue on healing. For that reason, this work not only positions cartography and maps as a particularly useful language for understanding indigenous experiences of genocide, but documents the development of this language, with the intent of supporting and guiding others in creating alternative languages that best fit their nation, community, family, and selves. Finally, the larger aim of this work is to make the case for languages on genocide that heal, rather than re-traumatize, and give a more holistic understanding of the ways in which genocide ‘takes place’ spatially and temporally, with the hope of creating a larger, more inclusive, less violent space for imagining and crafting restorative justice.

Published: May 2018

Abstract. Land registration is important in land tenure security and often resolves land-related issues. Volunteered geographic information is a cheap and quick alternative to formal and traditional approaches to land registration. This research investigates the extent to which this tool is meaningful for land registration, with the Scottish crofting com- munity as a case study. CroftCappture was developed to record points along boundaries and save geotagged photo- graphs and descriptions. The project raised interesting questions over usability, functionality and accuracy, as well issues of privacy, crofting practices, digital competency, and highlighted the fractal nature of the digital divide.
Semi-automated landform classification for hazard mapping of soil liquefaction by earthquake
Authors: Nakano Takayuki
Published: May 2018

Abstract. Soil liquefaction damages were caused by huge earthquake in Japan, and the similar damages are concerned in near future huge earthquake. On the other hand, a preparation of soil liquefaction risk map (soil liquefaction hazard map) is impeded by the difficulty of evaluation of soil liquefaction risk. Generally, relative soil liquefaction risk should be able to be evaluated from landform classification data by using experimental rule based on the relationship between extent of soil liquefaction damage and landform classification items associated with past earthquake. Therefore, I rearranged the relationship between landform classification items and soil liquefaction risk intelligibly in order to enable the evaluation of soil liquefaction risk based on landform classification data appropriately and efficiently. And I developed a new method of generating landform classification data of 50-m grid size from existing landform classification data of 250-m grid size by using digital elevation model (DEM) data and multi-band satellite image data in order to evaluate soil liquefaction risk in detail spatially. It is expected that the products of this study contribute to efficient producing of soil liquefaction hazard map by local government.
Relief Presentation on US National Park Service Maps
Authors: Patterson Tom
Published: May 2018

Abstract. This paper examines the evolution of relief presentations on maps developed by Harpers Ferry Center, the media service center of the US National Park Service (NPS). Harpers Ferry Center produces the maps used by park visitors. I will discuss five park maps, each with a distinctive relief style and mode of production. They appear in rough chronological order of their development. Recent relief presentations are generally more detailed, colorful, and realistic than those from earlier years. Changing technology is largely responsible for the different relief styles found on park maps. Some relief treatments today were not possible, or imaginable, in 1977 when the NPS established the brochure program in its modern phase. Landscape heterogeneity is another factor behind the development of different relief styles. With over 400 park sites ranging from the glacial mountains of Alaska to the rolling piedmont of Virginia, a one-style-fits-all approach cannot adequately depict all landscapes. NPS maps serve some 300 million park visitors each year. Our ongoing effort to make understandable maps for this diverse audience has further spurred experiments in relief presentation.

Objetivo: describir la producción empírica sobre indicadores para evaluar la calidad de la atención en salud otorgada a usuarios de unidades de hospitalización domiciliaria (HD). Materiales y métodos: se realizó una revisión integradora en las bases Pubmed, Web of Science, IBECS, SciELO y Biblioteca Cochrane. El periodo de búsqueda se extendió del año 1990 hasta el 2017. Resultados: se hallaron 10 documentos, de los cuales 6 correspondieron a artículos originales y 4 a revisiones sistemáticas. Sólo en 3 de los 6 artículos originales hallados se mencionaron indicadores relacionados con reingresos hospitalarios no planificados, llamadas telefónicas no planificadas realizadas por los pacientes y/o el equipo de salud de HD, negativa de los pacientes a ser ingresados a HD y errores en la administración de medicamentos. Conclusión: la investigación de la evaluación de la calidad de la atención en salud en HD mediante indicadores ha tenido un escaso desarrollo, especialmente en enfermería. Los indicadores pesquisados han sido desarrollados sólo en algunos países europeos pero sin reportar bases conceptuales claras y sin asegurar la solidez científica y factibilidad de las medidas.

Authors: Del Cid Gómez Juan Angel , Cáceres José David
Published: May 2018

La aldea de Cedeño es altamente vulnerable al embate de los fenómenos hidro meteorológicos que periódicamente ocurren en sus playas (Marejadas), a esto se le debe sumar los efectos que producirá el cambio climático. Todo lo anterior ocasionara daños irreversibles como retroceso de la línea de costa, inundaciones debido al aumento del océano, perdida de humedales, intrusión de agua salina, y desplazamiento de personas. Los impactos negativos en el sistema territorial y por ende en la calidad de vida de sus pobladores serán grandes. El objetivo general, consistió en elaborar una línea base sobre los patrones de variabilidad de la costa de la Aldea de Cedeño (tasas de erosión/acreción), además de la cartografía de amenazas ante fenómenos naturales (Mapas de inundación marejadas/ inundación ante el ascenso del mar), que sirva de apoyo para proponer políticas de planificación y gestión del territorio adecuadas. La metodología empleada se basó en análisis geoespacial, usando herramientas de sistemas de información geográfica, teledetección, participación ciudadana y herramientas estadísticas. Los resultados evidenciaron un comportamiento erosivo en las playas de la aldea de Cedeño, así como también una gran área vulnerable a inundación ante las marejadas y escenarios de ascenso del nivel del mar.

Authors: Essel Harry Barton , Boakye-Yiadom Michael , Mohammed Shamsudeen
Published: May 2018

In the era of quality orientation, human rights, and a consumer-driven society, Nursing and Midwifery Education Institutions (NMEI) are expected to produce qualified graduates who will meet the needs and expectations of society. The aim of the study was to assess the internal quality assurance practices of Nursing and Midwifery Training Colleges (NMTCs) in the Northern Region of Ghana. An analytical cross-sectional design was adopted for the study with a sample size of eighty-eight (88). Purposive sampling method was used to select health tutors (participants) from three NMTCs in the Northern Region of Ghana. Data for the study were collected with a questionnaire and analysed. The study revealed that the NMTCs have quality assurance units/committees responsible for monitoring the quality of teaching and learning. In this study, only 39.8% of the health tutors were satisfied with the monitoring and inspection of training institutions by regulatory bodies. The results show a significant difference among the perspectives of the health tutors on the implementation of staff professional development (F(2, 87) = 4.74, p = .011), academic staffs motivation in the direction of refining the value of academic programs (F(2, 87) = 3.43, p = .037), working conditions of staffs (F(2, 87) = 3.32, p = .041) and the effectiveness of quality assurance systems in enhancing the quality of teaching and assessment (F(2, 87) = 3.27, p = .043). There is the need to ensure uniformity in staff professional development, working conditions, and motivation of health tutors in the training institutions. Regulatory bodies must intensify the monitoring of NMTCs and offer accreditation to new NMTCs based on the state of educational resources and facilities.

While trying to solve physics problems, students often express that they understand the questions, they know the laws of physics on which the problem is based they have solved many similar problems, but the new problem is different from the previous problems therefore they cannot solve the problem. The aim of this study is to present an overview problem solving studies in physics education according to student level, methodology, and development of the problem-solving strategies usage chronologicaly.
Effectiveness of Full (Comprehensive) Preparatory Units for College Study Abroad Field Trips
Authors: Otten Mark R. M.
Published: May 2018

Research shows that students are likely to experience novelty (unfamiliarity) at field trip locations, resulting in extended, unproductive disorientation and inhibition of learning. Carefully-planned preparatory units, delivered prior to the field trip experience, have been shown to mitigate the negative effects of novelty. Anonymous online surveys and written responses to critical thinking questions were used to assess the effect of full (comprehensive) pre-field trip preparatory units on measures potentially influenced by novelty during a 25-day college study abroad program. Survey responses indicate that full preparatory units did not significantly affect student perception of readiness or location familiarity. While few statistically-significant differences were detected, data suggests that full preparatory units probably enhanced student satisfaction with the field trip experience and fostered better performance on critical thinking assessments. These findings support the conclusion that full preparatory units were, on the whole, more beneficial to learning during study abroad field trips than were minimal preparatory units. Findings also suggest that college students may not suffer the negative effects of novelty as intensely as younger students and that the physical size and complexity of the field trip location may reduce student confidence in navigating the location and slow student completion of on-location tasks.

Published: May 2018

As one of the energy bases of China, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has participated in a series of developing programs, such as The Western Development (2000), The Belt and the Road (2014), and The Global Energy Internet Strategy (2015), which signify that China places considerable importance to the sustainable development of the energy industry in Xinjiang. As an important part of the energy industry in Xinjiang, the emerging wind power industry in this region has developed rapidly in recent years. However, many problems have emerged, such as the abandoned wind power rationing, which seriously restricts the healthy development of the wind power industry. In this study, we introduce the development of the renewable energy industry and analyze the wind energy resources in Xinjiang. We mainly investigate the development situation and existing problems in the wind power industry. Then we focus on the problem of wind power curtailment, analyze the causes, and propose measures and strategies to alleviate this problem. Our findings will contribute to the sustainable development of the wind power industry in Xinjiang.

De nieuwe CPC-Verordening: gij zult consumentenbescherming handhaven!

Deze bijdrage bespreekt de nieuwe Verordening (EU) 2017/2394, die in januari 2020 in werking zal treden. Deze verordening versterkt de procedurele mogelijkheden voor de nationale autoriteiten belast met de handhaving van allerlei Unierechtelijke regels op het gebied van consumentenbescherming. De verordening doet dit met name door hun additionele (minimum)onderzoeks- en handhavingsbevoegdheden te verlenen en daarnaast door de mechanismen voor onderlinge samenwerking en coördinatie van handhaving tussen de lidstaten te versterken. Tevens eigent de Europese Commissie, die in dit rechtsdomein zelf niet kan handhaven, zichzelf een meer prominente coördinerende en faciliterende rol toe. Het is af te wachten of de nieuwe verordening inderdaad de beoogde impuls geeft aan de handhaving van (grensoverschrijdende) inbreuken op het gebied van consumentenbescherming.

Novos dados geológicos foram obtidos em um corpo gabróico-granítico na Faixa de Dobramentos Sergipana (Capela, SE), utilizando as técnicas de sensoriamento remoto e geoprocessamento integradas, em uma escala de semi-detalhe (1: 30.000). Esse corpo é constituído de um conjunto de rochas ígneas, compostas principalmente por gabros, ocorrendo ainda quartzo-dioritos e granodioritos. Nesse estudo, foram utilizados dados de magnetometria, de imagens de satélite Landsat 8 e dados TOPODATA, geoprocessados no software Quantum Gis. As informações obtidas, associadas a dados de trabalhos de campo, permitiram a identificação de novas litologias e estruturas, o que levou a uma melhor delimitação desse pluton no campo e a obtenção de um novo mapa geológico da região estudada. Com essas informações, foi possível concluir que o corpo estudado é resultado de vários pulsos magmáticos, associados a processos de mistura de magmas, que originaram uma grande variedade de rochas ígneas na área. Palavras-Chave: Sensoriamento Remoto, Geoprocessamento, Corpo Gabróico-Granítico.AbstractNew lithological data were obtained of a gabbroic-granitic body in Sergipano Fold Belt (Capela, SE), using remote sensing and geoprocessing as integrated techniques in a semi-detail scale (1:30,000). This body is composed of a number of igneous rocks, mainly gabbros, besides quartz-diorites and granodiorites. In this study, it was used magnetometry data, satellite images of Landsat 8 and TOPODATA data, geoprocessed in Quantum Gis software. With these data, coupled with information obtained in fieldworks, it was possible to identify new lithologies and structures, and as a consequence, to obtain a better field limits for this igneous pluton and a new geological map of the studied area. It is possible to conclude that these rocks are the result of many magmatic pulses, with several mixing processes, which originated a great variety of igneous rocks in the area.Keyword:.

Nas últimas décadas a falta de planejamento territorial das ações humanas e a sobre-exploração dos recursos hídricos subterrâneos no Estado de São Paulo têm causado a poluição, contaminação e o exaurimento destes recursos vitais. A partir desta premissa, este trabalho apresenta uma adaptação da carta de Fragilidade Ambiental dos Ambientes Antropizados, originalmente proposta por Ross, com o objetivo de diagnosticar as fragilidades do território permitindo a aplicação de propostas de planejamento e conservação sustentáveis de unidades aquíferas na bacia hidrográfica do rio Clarinho, em Santa Rita do Passa-Quatro, SP.  Foram utilizados dados geograficamente espacializados de Landforms, Declividades, Formações Geológicas Superficiais, Substrato Rochoso e Uso do Solo para relacionar os aspectos do meio físico com o atual padrão de ocupação antrópico na bacia. A metodologia foi sistematizada através da lógica Fuzzy, onde valores de potencial de contaminação foram atribuídos para todos os atributos de cada dado utilizado. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a maior parte da bacia se encontra em situação de Forte e Muito Forte fragilidade ambiental das unidades aquíferas, demonstrando a pressão a que estes recursos estão expostos e gerando a necessidade de um planejamento territorial que limite usos potencialmente contaminadores sobre as áreas mais frágeis.Palavras–chave: Águas Subterrâneas, SIG, Planejamento Territorial.Abstract In the last decades, the lack of territorial planning of human actions and the overexploitation of groundwater resources in the State of São Paulo have caused pollution, contamination and the exhaustion of these vital resources. Based on this premise, this work presents an adaptation of the Environmental Fragility letter of the Anthropized Environments, originally proposed by Ross, with the objective of diagnosing the fragilities of the territory allowing the application of sustainable planning and conservation proposals of aquifer units in the hydrographic basin of Clarinho river, in Santa Rita do Passa-Quatro, SP. Landforms, Declines, Surface Geological Formations, Rocky Substrates and Land Use were used to relate aspects of the physical environment to the current pattern of anthropic occupation in the basin. The methodology was systematized through fuzzy logic, where potential contamination values were assigned to all attributes of each data used. The results showed that most of the basin is in a situation of Strong and Very Strong environmental fragility of the aquifer units, demonstrating the pressure to which these resources are exposed and generating the need for a territorial planning that limits potentially contaminating uses on the areas more fragile.Keywords: Underground Water; GIS, Territorial Planning.

No Brasil, a Política Nacional do Meio Ambiente apresenta o zoneamento ambiental como um de seus instrumentos, sendo importante a análise de metodologias. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo possui o objetivo de apresentar uma proposta de zoneamento ambiental da bacia do rio Uberabinha (MG) com base na noção de paisagem em geografia. Inicialmente, foram realizadas pesquisas bibliográficas e trabalhos de campo para diagnosticar variáveis físico-geográficas (geologia, relevo, rede de drenagem, solos, clima e uso da terra). Em seguida, selecionou-se a geologia, a declividade (classe de relevo), os solos e o uso da terra por se demonstrarem nas variáveis mais representativas dos processos de funcionamento da paisagem na bacia. A integração das mesmas resultou na delimitação de 10 zonas, sendo apresentadas as características de cada uma delas. Espera-se que o artigo possa subsidiar planos voltados à sustentabilidade ambiental da referida bacia, além de contribuir para as discussões metodológicas acerca dos trabalhos de zoneamento.Palavras-chave: Paisagem; Zoneamento Ambiental; Bacia do rio Uberabinha.AbstractIn Brazil, the National Environmental Policy presents environmental zoning as one of its instruments, being important to analyze methodologies. In this sense, the present article aims to present a proposal of environmental zoning of the Uberabinha river basin (MG) based on the notion of landscape in geography. Initially, bibliographical research and fieldwork were carried out to diagnose physical-geographic variables (geology, relief, drainage network, soil, climate and land use). Then, geology, slope (relief class), soils and land use were selected because they were shown in the variables most representative of the processes of landscape functioning in the basin. The integration of these resulted in the delimitation of 10 zones, with the characteristics of each one being presented. It is expected that the article can support plans related to the environmental sustainability of this basin, besides contributing to the methodological discussions about the zoning works.Keywords: Landscape; Environmental Zoning; Uberabinha river basin

Num cenário de mobilização política assiste-se a partir da década de 1980 no Paraná, sobretudo na região Centro-Sul do estado, a (re)construção da identidade territorial faxinalense por meio da atuação de associações, articulações, organizações não governamentais, universidades, movimentos populares e poder público. Em contrapartida, no Planalto Norte de Santa Catarina, região de divisa com o estado paranaense, que compartilha similares características físico-naturais e histórico-geográficas, o Sistema aparenta invisibilidade. Neste destoante e controverso contexto, o presente artigo analisa a territorialidade dos elementos que caracterizam o Sistema Faxinal na região do Contestado, localizada entre os estados do Paraná e Santa Catarina, buscando compreender sua consolidação, desarticulação e reminiscências na perspectiva das identidades territoriais. Para tanto, discute-se a forma com que vêm sendo construída a identidade territorial faxinalense no Paraná e se investiga o que ocorreu com a territorialidade dos elementos que compõem o Sistema em Santa Catarina.Palavras–chave: Sistema Faxinal. Caívas. Identidades Territoriais. Espaço Agrário. Contestado.Abstract In a scenery of political mobilization, it is seen from the 1980s decade in Paraná, especially in the South-Center region of the state, the (re) construction of territorial identity of Faxinal due to the association acting, articulations, non-governmental organizations, universities, popular movements and public power. In contrast, in the Planalto Norte of Santa Catarina, the border region with Paraná state, which shares similar physical-natural, and historical-geographic characteristics, the system presents invisibility. In this aspect and controversial context, this present article analyses the elements territoriality that feature the faxinal System in the Contestado region, located between Paraná and Santa Catarina states, aiming at understanding its consolidation, disarticulation, and reminiscences in the perspective of territorial identities. Therefore, it is discussed the way that the territorial identity has been built on the faxinalense territorial identity in Paraná and it is investigated what occurred with the elements that compound the System territoriality in Santa Catarina.Keywords: Faxinal System.

O que é ser professor? Você incentivaria um jovem a seguir a carreira docente? Muitos podem considerar essas perguntas recorrentes e com respostas óbvias, porém ressalta-se, aqui, que, discorrer sobre esse profissional ainda é algo complexo, pois nos desafia a (re)pensar a própria imagem. Implica, também, questionar as práticas, mobilizar emoções e desequilibrar representações já consolidadas. Assim, este artigo apresenta um estudo sobre as representações docentes, a partir de uma perspectiva linguístico‑discursiva, em diálogo com Teoria das Representações Sociais. Nesse viés, convida o leitor a avaliar as dimensões representacionais que cerceiam as imagens dos profissionais da educação, e, ainda, como essas figuras podem estar ancoradas na nossa memória discursiva.Palavras-chave: Representações. Discurso. Professor. Imagem. Sentidos.
