Boniteza e formação: estéticas e imagens das juventudes normalistas na Baixada Fluminense

Abstract

This thesis is the result of doctoral research in education and focuses on Young Students of the Normal Course, their thought forms, ways of being, seeing themselves and the world, the meanings that confer on the formation process and their fabulations of the production of self- images. As an expression of youth and contemporary thought, the images produced through cell phones and replicated in social networks mark a new time of communicability and social presence. Young people are social subjects marked by a mutually constituted historicity between protagonists and the social contexts in which they are born, grow, coexist and relate and when they are heard they present reflective processes of their existence, appropriating themselves in an authorial way of their history. The multifaceted, ambiguous and polysemic character of the concept of youth creates historical and social tensions in the ways of seeing and understanding the young subject. In this sense, the flexible use of the term enables the understanding of the plurality that youths promote. The Normal School, historically a space for female schooling, is replaced in the current requirements by teacher training at a higher level, provided for by the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education (LEI 9394/96), your days are coming to the end, howeverand throughout Brazil, Normal Course Schools in 17 states still resist. I seek to understand through aesthetic and imaginative pronouncements the practical forms of everyday school in the perceptions of becoming a teacher in the process of training for teaching in early childhood education and in the first five years of elementary school for young people of popular origin and residents of the periphery. The investigative insertions are supported by Cultural Studies, by the Multireferrentiality and by the Critical Pedagogy that value narratives and daily life as important elements for social understanding through the senses that the practitioners give, stimulating bricolage in the dialogue between various theoretical references, as well as methods, instruments of critical research and that value speech, listening and dialogue. As an element that dialogues with the aesthetic and analytical performances, the methodology proposed is the combined use of Photovoice and Photoelucidation, techniques of image production and analysis carried out by the participants of the research themselves, in this case, the normalists of a normal school in Baixada Fluminense. The thesis reveals that, until this teaching modality is extinguished, the Normal Course is still an option for the professionalization of young people from the popular classes. It was observed the formative dimension of internships in their various configurations. It reveals that the critical formative processes are fostered by manifestations of resistance and installations of 'microrrevolutions', bringing other meanings of emancipation. And it highlights the Freirian (boniteza) beauty in the imaginary fabulations in the normalist becoming (devir)
