Toponímia e geografia cultural: tecendo fios de investigações no âmbito da interdisciplinaridade / Toponymy and Cultural Geography: weaving threads of investigation within the scope of interdisciplinarity

Resumo : A Toponimia e o estudo dos nomes de lugares; baseia-se, entre outros aspectos, na etimologia e nos dados semânticos dos nomes proprios de lugares (elementos fisicos e humanos), ao passo que a Geografia Cultural apropria-se das manifestacoes culturais advindas de um lugar, assim como as crencas, dancas, mitos e lendas. Este estudo busca investigar os pontos de interlocucao entre Toponimia e Geografia Cultural, considerando que se revelam interdependentes mas, ao mesmo tempo, entrelacadas na mesma trama no que se refere a amplitude de seus fios de conteudo interdisciplinar. Assumimos a nocao de interdisciplinaridade como o paradigma investigativo. A abordagem de analise metodologica e qualitativa e de carater bibliografico. Para realizar esta discussao, serviram de suporte teorico-metodologico os trabalhos de Dick (1990, 1999, 2006, 2007, 2008) e Andrade (2012, 2015, 2017) no campo da Toponimia, e os estudos de Claval (2001, 2002, 2011), Tuan (1979), Correa (2009) e Holzer (1999, 2003) no campo da Geografia Cultural. Palavras-Chaves : toponimia; geografia cultural; interdisciplinaridade. Abstract : Toponymy is the study of place names; it is based, among other aspects, on the etymology and semantic data of proper names of places (physical and human features), whereas Cultural Geography studies the cultural manifestations occurred in a particular place such as beliefs, dances, myths and tales. This study aims to investigate dialogue points between Toponymy and Cultural Geography, considering the fact that they reveal themselves as interdependent and, at the same time, intertwined in the same weft, as regards the range of their threads of interdisciplinary content. We assume the notion of interdisciplinarity as the investigative paradigm. The approach of the methodology analysis is qualitative and of bibliographic nature. This discussion was supported theoretically and methodologically by Dick (1990, 1999, 2006, 2007, 2008) and Andrade (2012, 2015, 2017) in the Toponymy field, and by Claval (2001, 2002, 2011), Tuan (1979), Correa (2009) and Holzer (1999, 2003) in the Cultural Geography field. Keywords : toponymy; cultural geography; interdisciplinarity.
