Educação no espaço público da cidade. Práticas de resistência e criatividade na Praça da Cinelândia no Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

The thesis EDUCATION IN THE PUBLIC SPACE OF THE CITY. RESISTANCE AND CREATIVITY PRACTICES IN CINELÂNDIA SQUARE IN RIO DE JANEIRO deals with the perspective of education in the city's public space through the educational dynamics present in the practices of resistance and creativity associated with popular education and social movements in Rio de Janeiro. It follows an ethnographic trajectory of understanding educational practices in occupation actions and assembly practices in Cinelândia Square. The empirical research follows the city's movements as an approach strategy that focuses on the practices and dynamics of occupation of public spaces. The perspective of education in the city's public space is built in the sense of rescuing educational actions and experiments within the scope of the vindication, occupation and resignification of the public and the educational. We intend to deepen the trajectory of understanding the relationship between public space and education in Rio de Janeiro, by focusing on the struggles and resistances of poetic urban social movements which actions are based on the contemporary politics of the streets produced by the being together. Our research seeks to investigate and problematize the practices of occupation and assembly through the exercise of inhabiting education in the Cinelândia square in the city center. The research focus shifts to the ground, to the stairs of public buildings, to the core of the square, in regular, occasional, temporary or transitory occupations. The paths of empirical research are drawn from arriving, being on the street, walking, settling and inhabiting. They allow understanding education through the practices of occupation and resistance in public space within the scope of contemporary street politics; observing how exercises that can be understood as educational are rehearsed; to understand how education is performed based on practices of occupation and assembly of bodies in alliance in contemporary street politics; and inventing educations through actions and practices of occupation and assembly produced in practices and experiences by bodies in alliance and the being together.
