Pensadores Cariocas como encruzilhada entre a filosofia e a periferia: autonarrativas de um educador poético

Abstract

This research is the result of a critical and self-reflective analysis of the Pensadores Cariocas Project, which consists of playful philosophy workshops for students from the public schools of Rio de Janeiro. It starts from action in reality and seeks to unite theory and practice for a liberating and libertarian education. We propose a qualitative approach and a self-narrative description. A narrative is constructed that locates the author as an observer and producer-activator of the research object. With the concept of crossroads, the point of contact between academic thinking and the knowledge of the Carioca periphery in schools is indicated. Our territory of action is Pavuna, north of Rio de Janeiro. Our objective was to think of coping strategies of colonialism reproduced at school, exemplifying the Pensadores Cariocas Project as a possibility of exercising this construction.
