Seu Paulo - a escrita no barro: um Outro Sujeito, um Sujeito Outro, uma Pedagogia Outra, uma Outra Pedagogia.

Abstract

The dissertation "Seu Paulo- a escrita no barro: um Outro Sujeito, um Sujeito Outro, uma Pedagogia Outra, uma Outra Pedagogia" (Seu Paulo- Writing in the Clay: Another Subject, an Other Subject, Another Pedagogy, a different Pedagogy) emerges from the interaction between the assumed methodologies that characterize the case study- participant observation, the narrative interview, and surrealist ethnography. In this vein, the "corpus" of the work explores the intentional use of surrealization of written research, problematizing the position of sculpture as a narrative working within an educational process of cultural and social resistance, as a medium capable of revealing alternative subjects and pedagogies. In the development of his argument, this author primarily draws upon the works of Walter Benjamin and Friedrich Nietzsche, as well as Peter McLaren and Henry Giroux's perspectives on critical pedagogy. Finally, this author applies the works of Miguel Arroyo in support of his defense of the so-called "other subjects and other pedagogies". The final proposal being that, through the study of this unique case, one might find elements that work in unison to establish a dialogue between the arts and education, and thus reaffirm education as one of the goals of Frontier/ Border Pedagogy.
