O corpo biográfico: experiências formadoras dentro de um grupo de pesquisa

Abstract

This master thesis has been developed and presented to the Post Graduation Program in Education, Master of the Education Center of the Federal University of Santa Maria, on the Line of Formation, Knowledge and Professional Development, having as the main goal to comprehend and analyse the meanings of members of GEPEIS from the biographical body, understood as "past history, present and future , through sensations, images, animated visions - species of awake dreams from reminiscences, but also from ideas and choices [...]" where I make use of Josso (2012, p.27) and the confluence of body / mind, trying to think possibilities of a formation process in education by the bias of the body as an expression of imaginary significations, place of memories and sensibilities. I also emphasize some specific objectives of this research as how to build and analyze through different body experiences manifested in the GEPEIS, the group relations, as well as the meanings constructed from the biographical body; knowing through the body experiences what every biographical body brings in himself; understand and analyze the body representations that each member has as an individual and as a member of a group. From the ideas explained above, I present the following research question: What is the meaning and significance of the biographic body in the formation of the Group of Studies and Research in Education and Social Imaginary (GEPEIS) at the Federal University of Santa Maria? GEPEIS is the reference of my work for I am a member of it since 2009 and for twenty years it has worked with themes of Imaginary Social Narratives and Stories of Life and with Group Device. Thus, presupposed the imbrications which there are among biographical body, imaginary, teacher training and group, I sought to investigate the entanglement among these fields of knowledge, activating the imagination of the members of the group of teachers to make their sensitive bodies, sharpening their senses to a receptive and active body. I draw for such a research, a qualitative methodology with an empiria constructed from some criteria such as: being a member of GEPEIS, having graduation in Pedagogy, having interest and availability for researching. For this, I made use of body experiences ranging from Josso (2010, p. 190) as "opportunities or potentialities of the onset awareness and apprenticeship and open nature, evolutive, malleable, autopoietic of our being in the world" the circles conversation, practiced after the experiences. The material produced was analyzed and organized showing that, from the mobilization and formative experiences through the sensitive brings, through the biographical body, an enlargement of body awareness, as well as the opportunity to experience other repertoires in the formation of teachers.
