Por uma educação termiteira: a poética da escrita do barro através da obra de Reinata Sadimba

Abstract

This thesis problematizes the following question: In what ways is it possible to think about research writing with sculpture as the guiding thread (?). It starts from the methodological assumptions of the “surrealization of research writing” proposal, counting on its epistemic and methodological support in the conduction and theoretical treatment of data analysis. I argue in theory that research writing, as scripture, can be understood as a possible relationship between word and sculpture and both as narrative forms of resistance and liberation from the current impoverishment of experience in the world. For the development of this discussion, authors such as Walter Benjamin and Friedrich Nietzsche, José Craveirinha and Mia Couto are used in the centrality. The main objectives of this research are to propose poetics as one of the ways that allows access to the space of the third dimension of the word through research writing and the possibility that through sculpture we can have elements to establish a dialogue between education and art, culminating in the intended education/pedagogy, here postulated as Termite Education (“Educação Termiteira”).
