Entre travessias e encruzilhadas: em busca de uma pedagogia para a arte do carnaval

Abstract

This thesis is originated by our doctoral research at PROPED / UERJ. Starting from the premises of the studies of daily life, it aimed to experience the Art of Carnival, understood as the range of expressive elements of plastic-visual, literary-dramaturgical, percussive-musical and performative dimensions, in their forms and acts, in their various forms of 'spacetimes'. We defend that there is specific knowledge in the allegory and fantasy hovels and in the hovels section, places of invention, development and construction of carnival dreams. We also understand that these know-how needs to be legitimized and put into circulation. To be shared by pedagogical approaches invented for this purpose. The research includes historiographic, iconographic and documentary sources, as well as the use of audiovisual materials available on the Youtube video platform on the Internet. The diversity of materials used in the parades, inventions, rereading, resignification and co-creation that take place in samba school hovels converge with contemporary art teaching. We then engendered an experimental practice in the curricular component Art. The experiments took place with high school classes from the Higher Education Institute of Rio de Janeiro - ISERJ, located in the Praça da Bandeira neighborhood, in the city of Rio de Janeiro. We undertake a process of circulation of the 'knowledge and meanings' invented in the territories of samba schools, to propose, from the experiences in the classroom, notes for a pedagogy. A pedagogy of Carnival Art.
