EDUCATING AGAINST BARBARISM: PREJUDICED CONNOTATIONS IN THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT IN A POSSIBILITY OF RETEXTUALIZATIONS AND RESIGNIFICATIONS
Language. Decolonial education. Prejudice. Connotation. Portuguese Language teaching.
Prejudice is one of the most wicked strategies of oppression that serves many goals, such as economic power, class power, ethnicity power and gender power. These powers (and others), which have origins in the period of Portuguese colonization, are translated into the supremacy of certain groups in all social spheres, including school. And if this reality erodes all the fabric It keeps us immersed in barbarism, the school and its subjects are doubly affected, in order to be the target of these forms of power and at the same time work for the maintenance of these powers over the subjects, if they do not assume a pedagogy focused on the liberation and emancipation of the school community in which it is inserted. In this sense, the present work aims to enable The resignification of prejudiced discourses that circulate in school, through a didactic-pedagogical proposal, which will use the study of signifiers/meanings, the figurative senses that characterize, semantically, as connotation the prejudiced words and expressions, as well as their retextualization and resignification. The methodology used in this conduction will be the action research, within of the qualitative scope. This processing of linguistic material will have as proposition the recognition and return, through language, of the humanities once taken from the subjects by the prejudices directed to them, supporting a conscious pedagogy of their political responsibility, decolonial and focused on students' liberation and emancipation. To do so, we will have as support Theoretical authors such as Freire (2023), Geraldi (2002; 2023), Fiorin (2007; 2015), Bakhtin (1995), Volóchinov (2021), Nascimento (2019), Ilari (2010), Cançado (2023), Lopes and Macedo (2011), among others. In this regard, we will walk to discover shapes, in Portuguese language classes, to disentangle ideological representations in the dominating and colonialist molds.
