Abstract

The interaction of individuals with the Internet has happened in an accentuated way in recent years, with the advent of technology transforming multiple aspects of social relations, above all, the production of knowledge. Nesse sense, or YouTube as the main video platform in the world, forms an environment that introduces a new culture of consumption of audiovisual content, with suggestions shaped by algorithms and permeated by users who actively participate in dialogue as itself. In this scenario, the objective of this research is to carry out an analysis of the geographical knowledge produced from the online video platform called Youtube to identify modalities of uses and interactions with the platform. For this reason, a dense description was made of three channels with a large number of subscribers that produced knowledge with geographical content: “Você Sabia?”, “Fatos Desconhecidos”, and “Incrível”. From this analysis, categorizations were carried out on the main themes, resources and approaches used, in addition to an investigation on the context of interaction between the users of the selected videos. The study showed that (1) the knowledge produced by a large scope of visualizations and interactions; (2) uses sensationalist language that constantly challenges users; (3) It is produced, among subscribers, a crisis of legitimacy of the school and its teachers.
