Pés descalços: sujeitos interditados ao direito à educação

Abstract

The research aimed to provoke reflections on plural visions of subjects, based on the relationship between the ban on the right to education and possible memories that reveal feelings of guilt, pain, and suffering from this ban. To do this, the research used field reports from the mother study; interviews with out-of-school children carried out by researchers from the CNPq Research Group Lifelong Learning; videos recorded with these children; and photographs, in particular — all the materials produced during the fieldwork and resulting from the mother research from which this one originated, highlighting the observation of bare feet, a customary expression of being in the world. In dialogue with authors who discuss the subject of social exclusion, in particular and invisibility, caused in large part by prejudice, we reflect on customs observed in the daily lives of ordinary subjects who are the protagonists of the research and look for evidence of these customs among excluded subjects and their meanings in society — all captured by photographs from different historical periods.
