Paulo Freire and teacher education: dialogues with anthropofagia and carnivalization in the classroom

Abstract

The article seeks a dialogue between the Paulo Freire assumptions about the teaching present, above all, in Pedagogy of the oppressed, Pedagogy of autonomy and Teacher yes, aunt no: letters to those who dare to teach, the concept of cultural anthropophagy – inspired by oswaldiana anthropophagy – and Mikhail Bakhtin's conceptual category on carnivalization. The challenges and perspectives in teaching the area of Letters in comparison with the chosen authors were investigated through a critical reading from a bibliographic research. The results of this dialogue indicate that the teacher - cognoscent subject and researcher of his practice - can assume in this perspective an active and responsive position in the face of concrete situations that emerge from the context in which he acts, by subverting some recurrent practices in literature classes, still marked by banking conceptions of education. Thus, the present work intends to constitute itself as a theoretical-methodological support in the formative processes in the area of Letters.
