À procura de (nossas próprias) palavras: filosofia e subjetividade

Writing about philosophical practice with children requires a memory of the body, a body that holds on to what is important to itself. My memory begins with my contact with the ideas of Matthew Lipman and the new ideas brought by his words, and continues with the need to change some of them and assign different meanings to others. Since my reading of the thinkers of the so called “Frankfurt School,” some words have taken new meanings to me, and have informed the way I now understand the practice of philosophy with children and its relationship to issues like educational “formation,” as well as others. Philosophical practice is unique, and needs to be thought, felt, and experienced; it has its own time and involves the construction and transformation of subjectivity itself. As such, to search for words in philosophy means to chose those words that can help us make sense and give meaning of what we do and think, allowing us to work with our thinking and with its forms of expression, beyond its technical dimension. In this sense, the usual emphasis of philosophy in its more technical dimension leads to an impoverishment of formation as experience, for the latter, which is a fundamental dimension of our lives, is rendered secondary. This has implications for the relationship between adults and children. When they reduce philosophy to a study of the formal capacity of thinking, teachers put students in the condition of a minority, and therefore in some way also put themselves in such a condition. In this paper, the activity of writing - as a way of expressing thought - allows me to conduct a tour my own subjectivity, and to encounter the words that express the meanings that inform what I think and do about my practice with philosophical novels, and about the value of generating texts related to philosophical practice, formation and assessment.

Os textos no ensino de filosofia

When someone teaches Philosophy, he or she must be conscious that in the texts there is a compound of three kinds of experience: reading, thinking and writing. These three types of experience blend form and content of the text when one thinks, writes and reads. Then these experiences have an face as shape and another face including thinking, writing and reading in a continuous tension because it is related to a practice that is in this same context, that of philosophy.

Tempo(s) e alteridade: a escuta nas aulas de filosofia com crianças

Children perceive philosophy classes as space and time in which they can speak whatever they think and they like. ! at is a fact: philosophy classes for and with children open space to speak and to think. But there is a distance between speak and be heard out. Which kind of hearing is interesting in this type of class? Hearing assumes a real meeting between persons and this takes for granted that someone is also and essentially interested in the other’s thought . Such questions take us to have a problem with our concept of childhood. Recovering debates made by Walter Omar Kohan about childhood and temporality we try to connect the questions we indicate here and their meaning in the classes of philosophy for children keeping as our aim to the liberating possibility to children and teachers.

A indeterminação da linguagem e o conceito de atividade no ensino de língua materna

La théorie des opérations prédicatives et énonciatives de A. Culioli ne porte pas en elle une conception prête à l’emploi de l’enseignement des langues. Ce texte se propose de faire le pont entre cette théorie et les questions d’enseignement. Il construit surtout une réflexion sur les concepts d’activité ou de pratique au sein de l’enseignement des langues maternelles en se basant sur l’activité épilinguistique. Nous souhaitons, en outre, mettre en débat la division qui existe dans l’enseignement des langues entre activité physique et activité mentale.

A questão da inexauribilidade do texto: o Frühromantik e a escritura derridiana

This article aims to investigate the configuration on the new scenario, during the Early German Romanticism, which led to dismantle the philosophical discourse as the expression of a safe and fixed content, free from the ambiguity of figural language. Our main argument is that already Schelling’s concept of symbol brings up the question about the opacity of the text. By analyzing to what extent this problematization around the language lingers on in the contemporariness, we refer to Derrida’s thought which points out to the illusion embedded in the pretension to conceive a clear and unambiguous language, creating therefore a new ground between art and philosophy since the text itself as a neutral and closed subject will be questioned now.

Variação nômade: Henry Miller, filosofia e o combate contra o juízo

We discuss Henry Miller's novel Tropic of Cancer based on the concept of nomadism, as coined by Deleuze and Guattari. The relation between philosophy and literature is very productive for both. A phenomenon of dual capture between these two areas that is characteristic of a nomadic thinking: literature that engenders philosophy which, in turn, engenders literature, establishing connections, new relations between terms in a distinct nomad variation that dismisses the classical image of thought of its eminence: a perspective between philosophy and literature as form of discussing the nomadism in Miller's novel. Thus, the linkage between philosophy and literature aims to capture the Millerian paths on this new space of thought, which is achieved by giving up any origin, human or divine, and stands as productive thought that affirms the real in a combat waged against the faculty of judgment, or simply of Judgment, in all its forms.

A incorreção política do policiamento da metalinguagem: a propósito do cultivo irracional do politicamente correto em linguagem

O artigo avalia o descompasso entre a liberdade de expressão, que no Brasil é garantida por lei, e ações culturalmente orientadas de patrulhamento do uso linguístico, que proíbem referências a características ou comportamentos de determinados grupos sociais, especialmente minorias. O descompasso se transforma em equívoco grave quando tal policiamento se estende às atividades de natureza metalinguística, que, baseadas na reflexão sobre os usos existentes, equacionam os significados das entidades do léxico ativado. O estudo examina especificamente a tarefa lexicográfica e avalia sua natureza e seu papel, dentro do universo de construção do saber sobre a língua.

Um olhar bakhtiniano sobre a questão do dialogismo X monologismo: Macabéa e a linguagem no processo de (des)constituição do eu

Bakhtin, during the development of his theories, focused matters concerned to language, also taking account of the vital importance of its role in the formation of men. Thus, he was concerned in treating language not only as a simple mean of communication among people, but also as a social and crucial activity for the development of human beings. According to that and regarding the Bakhtinian concepts of alterity and dialogism in this paper, we intend to verify some aspects related to Macabéa, the protagonist of the novel entitled A Hora da Estrela, by Clarice Lispector, as well as her communication with the outside world, via language, trying to clarify, into that process, elucidative elements which attest her diffi culty in interacting with the world that surrounds her, besides the consequent de(constitution) of her own identity.

Círculo de Bakhtin: uma análise dialógica de discurso

This article proposes a reflection on a place for epistemological studies about the Bakhtin Circle, as well as it also reflects on the perspectives of Brazilian approaches to that. It also sheds light to the issues concerning the production, the circulation and the reception of works of the Russian Circle in order to understand why, in Brazil, we can speak of Dialogic Discourse Analysis (DDA), affiliating the so-called dialogical philosophy of language to an analytical theory, grounded in the relation between linguistics and cross-linguistics. In order to do that, this paper focuses on the notions of dialogue, ideological sign, subject and exotopia. The hypothesis put forward is that, unlike other Analyzes of Discourses, the theoretical-analytical method of the Circle is dialogical. This is the peculiarity of its proposal.
