As inter-relações com as diferenças no tecido escolar: os sentidos da diversidade

Abstract

The present dissertation reports to a research development in which inter-relation with the differences have been investigated, considering evidence of the senses attributed to the diversity in the schooling arrangement. As a conceptual subsidy for the referred investigation, the senses of diversity have been reflected upon conversations with authors such as Carlos Skliar, Carlos Alberto Marques, Martin Buber and the presentation of Humberto Maturana`s Autopoiesis Theory, the paradigm of Complexity as proposed by Edgar Morin, reaching the exlactic rationality brought forward by Nadia Bevilaqua. Subsequent to the reflection upon space and place as interweaving threads in the school archi(tex)ture, taking as an investigative approach the Inditiary Method by Carlo Ginzburg, going into the schooling arrangement of Bom Pastor City School in Juiz de Fora City, state of Minas Gerais, and thus being able to interweave, with narrative resources, evidences and theories we have dialogued with. I could perceive as a common thread in this schooling arrangement that differences may be denied, marked, determining a hierarchical interaction between the “self of sameness of normalcy” and the “other of difference of abnormality”. However, since human being is unfinished in himself, according to Paulo Freire, the development of the “wholeness of his own self” needs the acquaintanceship which in turn demands changes not only in apparent actions but, furthermore in thought-feeding concepts, that subsidize attitudes which in turn determine actions. Such undertaking has made me perceive that far beyond the investigating objective of seeing/feeling/thinking and narrating inter-relations with differences, seeking the attributed senses to diversity, I also have the existential purpose to call everyone`s attention to the broad possibilities which unfold for each one of us as we understand the existing interdependence among all humans and pervasive to nature, life and the cosmos.
