Archipelago of ideas with Paulo Freire and Fayga Ostrower: awareness and sensitivity for a democratic education
Paulo Freire; Fayga Ostrower; dialogue; sensitivity; awareness.
This dissertation presents a bibliographic research that aimed to dialogue with the thoughts of Paulo Freire and Fayga Ostrower, starting from the concepts of awareness and sensitivity, respectively. By understanding with Ginzburg (1989) the need to identify the points of arrival and the points of departure of an investigation, it was understood that the dialogue with sensitivity and awareness was at the same time where one wanted to arrive and from where one departed. In this way, this research is formally constituted as an archipelago made up of islands that are echoes and reverberations of the initial dialogue, since I leave from and arrive at sensitivity and awareness. This construction takes place in the search for a theoretical, methodological and formal coherence inspired by the indiciary paradigm of Carlo Ginzburg (2012) and the dialogical attitude learned from Paulo Freire. In these paths, sensitivity as a compass (OSTROWER, 1991); intuition (OSTROWER, 2019), listening (FREIRE, 2004a) and obsession (NAVAS, 2007) were identified as methodological tools. Therefore, the theoretical-methodological framework of this research is Paulo Freire and Fayga Ostrower on whom I base myself to seek other dialogues. On this journey other interlocutors were found marking the importance of the encounter of this research with the Popular Education and Latin American thought. The movements carried out in this research demonstrate that by finding the results – the paths taken – new directions are born
