O Não-lugar na universidade: espaços de isolamento e sua influência na construção da identidade

Abstract

The aim of this research is to reflect on the mechanisms of social exclusion and its influence on identity construction in postmodernity. The university collaborates in this process with people with special educational needs to infer that social exclusion is linked to the denial of human rights in line with its relational and subjective aspects. We adopt as appointment device, insulation spaces them, as a construction of postmodernity, so that subjects are with their fragile social ties on the difficulty of these spaces be incurred as a place identity, relational and historical tripod that allows us to reflect it does as historical and cultural subject. Done research of cultural studies in the works of Bourdieu and Stuart Hall to cultural psychology referenced in Vygotsky's works, Bruner and Valsiner. We list out to ponder as the process of social exclusion rests on the identity in prominence with postmodernity to analyze the introduction of the non-place in the university; analyze the strategies of isolation spaces in everyday interpersonal relations; analyze the participation in social movements and their influence on the construction of identity. For data collection and analysis, applied to narrative analysis in semi-open interview with a university distance learning, in its role of visual impairment on their perception of school inclusion in higher education. The categories highlighted were: a) spaces of invisibility; b) school daily life of segregation and c) participation in social movements in their influence on identity construction. We point as a result of research that efficient social exclusion strategies are produced in / by the narratives themselves to the interests of the hegemonic power. But if the power constantly seeking the homogenization of identities it follows that also points to break spaces, man as a transformation agent. It is the spaces and hybrid identities, generated in an era devoid of fixed references we found loopholes to the exercise of uniqueness.
