Da escrita acadêmica à biografia educativa da professora Maria Isabel da Cunha: interlocuções com os estudos do imaginário

Abstract

This work relates to my doctoral dissertation which was developed in the Post- Graduation Program in Education of Federal University of Pelotas in the search line of Writing culture: languages and learning, and it is entitled “From academic writing to the educational biography of Maria Isabel da Cunha: dialogues with the imaginary studies.” The present research has as object study the educational biography demarcating the relationship between biography and writing in order to reveal the relationship between life and work, to find founders images and its contents as constitution power of the mode of teaching of the referred professor. For this, the research had as guide parameter three objectives based on the Imaginary Studies for subsequent analysis: a) digging in the written records of Professor Mabel, (especially the doctoral dissertation dated of 1988), evidence of the founders of the way of being a professor; b) seek, from the indication of symbolic cores, the presence of mythemes subsumed in the documented Thesis; c) to discuss and analyze mythemes, comparing its development in other subsequent academic productions. Thus, I found four mythemes related to singular-plural professor, learning professor, project-professor and ferryman-professor. These reveal symbolic contents that are subsumed in the analyzed writings, resulting in the founding image represented by the Great Mother, which appears associated with the cyclical life force mystery in mythic traits that refer to Deméter.
