Religiosidade na escola: afirmações e silenciamentos

Abstract

Based on the discussion on the difference, the study examines how the issue of religion is meant and treated in school practices. Addressing religion as a cultural construction process, that is, the discursive meaning that develops within power relations, the study seeks to understand the spaces we occupy different religious manifestations in the school environment; as the hegemonic signification disputes happen and what are the practical affirmation and silencing of religious differences in schools. The research brings the contribution of Stuart Hall for understanding culture in intercultural dimension beyond the structuralist fixed binaries. Analyzes the processes of negotiation of difference from Chantal Mouffe approach on the social constitution; conflicting consensus and agonistic democracy, which allows take off the identities of the alleged rigidity imposed by the polarity or the other-we built the universalist thought. An important reference, however, stems from the concept named "inculturation of religions" of Joanildo Burity. Thus discuss how educational processes guided by pedagogical perspective proposed by Aura Helena Ramos, according to which the Human Rights Education has reference to the constitution of spaces manifestation of dissent, negotiation of difference and curriculum production, which indicates an approach that contrasts the processes of cultural codes silently Western Christian religious hegemony.
