Choque de Monstros: Corpo, identidade e Visualidade na escola

Abstract

This thesis is a monstrous cartography of the public school in economically underdeveloped areas of Rio de Janeiro. A whole bunch of experience and experiments that merge together, modifying and transforming each and every new event. It s a supposition that different bodies in the school environment work as very powerful tools to be used in approaching social problems - a lot more powerful than resources supposedly available for teachers and students. The atention given to new generations of students as well as the impact waves recching the body of the teacher and researcher is the methodological path of this paper. The differences brought up, pointing fingers to the monsters in the classroom, differing their bodies and performances from our normativity, are the most recurrent anachronistic appointments; the black skins, the blackness, the dykes, the faggots, the transvestites, the poor, the illiterate, the freaks and weirdos, the queers. Those who shock, showing us how unprepared we are to deal with everything and everyone who doesn t fit in our flawed manuals and standards of normality. Plus, our abetting for such conducts. Points that only hidden corporealities, post-moralist corporealities compared to the values of the oficial school agenda, young bodies coming and going - existing and resisting in plain aesthetically strength, not only remind us but demand that we take a stand in promoting debate that will throw light at a debates schools and teachers usually avoid
