Ensaio sobre a dor na docência: uma escrita antropo-fenomenológica

Abstract

This paper was based on the possibility to accomplish a reflection on pain in teaching, under the perspective of the anthropology of imaginary, through a theoretical and literary writing also supported by the author s life intimations and memory, in order to contribute with discussions about the meanings of pain experienced in teaching. The text is characterized as an essay and lies on two authors theories: Gilbert Durand and Gaston Bachelard. Taking phenomenology in the first one s view and anthropology under the second one s, the text demonstrates the author s pathway of reflection. A pathway where writing and reflection have been simultaneously built, which is a characteristic named anthropo-phenomenological writing in this paper. This pathway used as fonts, other Philosophy, Literature and Poetry authors, besides the previously mentioned ones. Since the intention was to develop the possibility to talk about pains which are lived in solitude: lived pains, not easily reported, an approximation with literary images has been tried. Literary images have been used in the composition of the reflection, especially images of home, due to the belief on the possibility to build knowledge for the understanding on the referred pains through the approximation with such images. Aiming at possibilities of convergence with other teachers, probable readers of this paper, it is defended the thesis that, when working with such supports, a poetic reading of pain in teaching may consist in a possibility for the production of meanings which implicate the appreciation of beautiful images and the actions to preserve them and not succumb to an irreversible severity
