Abstract

The aim of this article seeks to reflect on the pedagogical aspect in the extensive bibliographic production of the British Geography Doreen Massey. The current study deals with the content analysis of the chapter Geographies of solidarities, inserted in the pedagogical material of the course Material Geographies – a world in the making. This paperback, edited by Open University in 2008, is a pedagogical material adopted by the course of the same institution of distance education and at the same time it diffuses theoretical tendencies directed by Open Space Research. Our aim seeks to analyse the Bibliography of the author and to focuses on the titles directed by courses taught or organized by Massey in the 1990’s, at the Open University (in Milton Keynes, UK). This approach to these issues - still without a Portuguese translation –look forward a file Doreen Massey's pedagogical ideas and how it tie in the School Geography curriculum in Brazil
