THE POTENTIAL OF THE CIVIC SQUARE IN GOIÂNIA TO THE CITIZEN FORMATION OF THE LIBRARIAN

HIGHLIGHTING CULTURAL PRACTICES

Abstract

We discussed the potential, from the Civic Square in Goiânia-GO, for the citizen training of librarians. Do we question whether the exercise of citizen education provides librarians to live the city and perform their social practices? Based on a bibliographic and exploratory approach, we specifically sought to highlight the incentive to citizen practice in non-formal spaces as complementary strategies. We also aim to show the Civic Square, portrayed through its various uses and appropriations, can be discussed/understood as a place of encounter, multiple uses and symbolism, reinforcing its potential to exercise citizen practices. We propose a methodology based on a cartographic construction, which aims to map cultural spaces and devices, to serve as an instrument of appropriation and mediation of the librarians of the city of Goiânia. We conclude, therefore, that learning about the city, formulating interventions in the lived space, make the librarians aggregators in their doings. In this way, we propose that their full exercise of full citizenship involves an educational action and a more social Librarianship, which highlight cultural practices, because as subjects and mediators of information, Librarians should appropriate the spaces they frequent and occupy, contributing to a more complete and social performance.
