Mito e Educação no Cotidiano Escolar

Quando falamos em mito, pensamos na origem das coisas; quando falamos em cotidiano, pensamos na atualidade de que se revestem essas coisas. No entanto, para entendermos, algumas vezes, expressões utilizadas pelo povo é preciso conhecer as narrativas que nos contam a origem do mundo onde habitamos. Assim, modernamente, podemos dizer que o mito sobrevive em calendários, na liturgia, em cerimônias oficiais, preso aos rituais que comandam tais ocorrências, nas sociedades avançadas em que o homem, curvado sob o peso do tecnicismo e da barbárie mecanicista, é subjugado pelo progresso feroz que o encurrala e o faz desempenhar o papel de aprendiz de feiticeiro. Assim, se ao mito, estão entrelaçadas as nossas falas atuais, deverá ele estar presente, também, na escola e nos conteúdos trabalhados por ela para que alunos e professores possam compreender e atualizar as relações estabelecidas, ao longo do tempo, entre os fatos históricos e as narrativas que os relatam. Com esse objetivo foi desenvolvido junto à Secretaria de Educação de Rio Claro, na escola “Sérgio Hernani Fittipaldi”, o Projeto “Narrar histórias, intercambiar experiências”, financiado pelo Núcleo de Ensino da UNESP. Foram onze encontros, nos quais foram apresentados aos professores do Ensino Fundamental a arte de contar histórias, forma de conhecimento de quem somos e de como nos relacionamos com nossos semelhantes e com o mundo à nossa volta. Ao enfocarmos o gênero ficção, demos destaque, na literatura infantil aos mitos e suas transposições para a narrativa literária. Dessa forma, a primeira parte deste artigo é constituída pelo enfoque ao campo conceitual sobre o mito. A segunda parte ilustra as criações literárias que retomam os mitos, como a obra infantil de Monteiro Lobato.

Fundamentos das políticas de ação afirmativa etnicorracial no ensino superior

This article aims to contextualize the educational affirmative action policies for ethnic racial groups in Brazilian legal system, present the main philosophical fundamentals that support these educational policies and discuss the validity of those fundamentals. In the legal context, the principle of substantive equality and the fundamental objectives of the Federative Republic of Brazil, positivised in the Constitution of 1988, as well as the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, allow the implementation of these policies. The philosophical fundamentals presented in this article are the thesis of compensatory justice and the thesis of distributive justice. The thesis of distributive justice has been refuted by logical legal arguments and by analysis of the right to higher education positivised in the Constitution. The thesis of compensatory justice has been considered a valid argument to support affirmative action policies, due to historical facts and sociological factors existing in the Brazilian context. It is concluded that the affirmative action policies for ethnic racial groups should be part of the Brazilian social policies, but these affirmative action policies should not invade the context of higher education, since the intended purposes are unrelated to this.

Comunicação/educação: relações com o consumo. Importância para a constituição da cidadania

O aparato midiático envolve as tradicionais agências de socialização e disputa com elas – sobretudo com a escola – a primazia na formulação dos sentidos sociais. Este é um dos aspectos dos estudos do campo comunicação/educação. A questão do consumo como formador de identidades emerge nesse âmbito. Este artigo trata da importância de se estabelecer as relações do campo comunicação/educação com a teoria e a prática do consumo com vistas à formação de sujeitos capazes de, partindo da realidade objetiva, construir novos modos de consumir em nova variável histórica.

Il teatro e Derek Walcott. Prospettive postcoloniali e multiculturali

This thesis explores the function of the theatre in Derek Walcott's literary achievements. Focusing on the semiotic theories that characterize the study of drama as a literary text and as a staged text, the initial approach aims at creating a relationship between semiotics and postcolonial theories. In particular Pavis's concept of intercultural semiotics and Peter Brook's innovative visions about the regenerative function of the space of the theatre represent a useful theoretical basis to consider the specificity of postcolonial theatre as an innovative space, where new cultural meanings emerge. Derek Walcott's dramatic production is studied according to this approach, in order to be defined as a new hybrid, syncretic and multicultural space. After considering the development of drama from a postcolonial and Caribbean perspective, this study begins with an insight into Walcott's views on theatre, taking into consideration his linguistic depth, linked to the European tradition, but also his strong concern with the Caribbean public's cultural needs. The double tension characterizing Walcott's cultural identity as well as his art represents an essential element to analyse his dramatic texts. With an ambivalent approach, which takes into consideration language and performance, this thesis offers an insight into Walcott's plays to detect their postcolonial and multicultural elements. The analysis of the different texts are divided into two chapters (third and fourth). The third chapters - mainly focused on postcolonial themes - explores issues such as language, identity and space, whereas the fourth chapter centers on multiculturalism in text and performance. Dealing with interracial interactions, issues like re-writing classical texts and the manipulation of personal and collective memory as a way to re- establish new historical perspectives, the last part of the thesis aims at demonstrating the idea that Walcott has created a new space in the theatre made by the harmonic fusion of different and opposed cultural elements, which are visible in the literary as well as in the staged text. The textual perspective of Walcott's drama fits into Pavis's definition of intercultural semiotics, as the faithful representation of a multicultural creole society: that of the West Indies.

Nationalism and Literature

Zunic investigated the relationship between nationalism and Serbian literature. He first analysed and evaluated the justifications for a number of critical accusations against Serbian literature. These included mythological and epic foundations (traditionalism), an obsession with national history and with the motif of the Serbian people as an eternal victim, the domination of the collective over the individual (populism), an anachronistic romantic conception of the social function of literature. In order to gain an unbiased judgement of the nationalistic role of contemporary Serbian literature, Zunic prepared a list of those books with the greatest number of copies issued in the decade 1985-1995, and constructed an appropriate hermeneutic procedure of understanding the meaning of the content and form of these works. He concluded that contemporary Serbian literature is in fact occupied with national history, and also with the unmasking of communist totalitarianism. The most influential books express and document either nationally-oriented or civil-oriented world views. The former, although mostly not militant works (with their realistic "closed" form), might have had an ideological influence on the Serbian national consciousness, while the civil-oriented works (with their "open" modern or post-modern form) could not neutralise all these extra-literary effects of the nationally-oriented works, since the predominant way of reading is a communication with the literary content (realised as a testimony of historical facts), and not with the literary form (as a carrier of the artistic value and a "moderator" of any content).
