Poetic Studies: education and language 

Sandra Regina Simonis Richter

srichter@unisc.br

(+55 51) 3717-7543

Language Studies and Literature / Education

Studies about the poetic dimension of language, triggered in 2000 from the phenomenological method of Gaston Bachelard, have been subsidizing both the teaching practice of professors/researchers in their actions of teaching and extension, as well as the research projects they are currently developing. At the moment, the group gathers research projects in communication among Literature, Arts, Music and Education of children from the philosophical assumption that the poetic experience of language is the link that brings them together. The philosophical question that emerges is the intersubjectivity of living together in the common world as a way to reflect directions of the research from phenomenology in its three aspects: reflexivity, description and interpretation. The group, in the articulation of its projects, invests in a gradual achievement of a space that effectively recognizes the playful, the imagetic, the pleasurable, the sensitive, as inseparable from a cognitive act since childhood.
   

Local Socio-historical Formation

José Antonio Moraes do Nascimento

josenasc@unisc.br

(+55 51) 3717-7379

The Local Socio-historical Formation Research Group brings together researchers who study topics related to social, economic, cultural, political and religious formation in levels of graduation, specialization, master's degree and doctorate. It aggregates different lines of research and different theoretical perspectives covering studies dating from the late 18th century until contemporaneity. The general objective is to stimulate, discuss and disseminate interdisciplinary studies of local socio-historical formation that allow to focus the historical object from a more effective way, trying to identify economic, cultural, political and religious inter-relations over time. The members of the research group develop studies and surveys characterized by interdisciplinarity, but that has for goal the historical processes of local formation. Although a good part of the research falls on the region of Vale do Rio Pardo, RS, the local level is here understood as being at different scales and amplitudes. The researchers group unity is guaranteed by the rigorousness of the methodologies that guide both the individual projects as well as the collective projects of its members.
   

Identity and Differences in Education

Mozart Linhares da Silva

mozartls@unisc.br

(+55 51) 3717-7543

Education

The group is organized to the elaboration of research on culture and production of subjects in education from discussions related to identity-difference, knowledge-power relations and biopolitical governance strategies. It comprises, in an interdisciplinary perspective, issues related to health, social assistance, ethnic-racial relations, relations of gender and sexuality, childhood, inclusion, spatialities, curriculum, public policies and teacher training. The perspectives that underpin the analyzes are guided by the understanding that the cultures, the subjects, the identities, as well as the curriculum and the knowledge are exchangeable and permeated by different intersections. The group also understands that the subjects are produced in relations with the other, being subjectivized and positioned in places of normality/abnormality, inclusion/exclusion and visibility/invisibility.
   

Language and Cognition

Rosângela Gabriel

rgabriel@unisc.br

(+55 51) 3717-7322

The group studies aspects related to the processing of language, discussing issues involved, such as memory, attention and learning related to alphabetization and literacy, understanding and interpretation of texts. The group also seeks to discuss implications of the research in the area of reading and cognition, aiming at contributing to better educational practices.
   

Languages, Culture and Education- LinCE

Felipe Gustsack

fegus@unisc.br

(+55 51) 3717-7543

Education

The group is a cross-departmental and interinstitutional space of theoretical-methodological interlocution of investigative actions on the educational problem arising from the cultural relationship between the dimensions of the language and the processes of learning. The mobilization of studies on the narrative aspects of art, science and myth in its relationship with the education has been promoting actions that allow to problematize the teaching and learning of language and its dimensions in Basic Education and Higher Education. The actions involve themes that emerge from the complex and biocentric articulation of education and language with childhood, learning, technology, Amerindian epistemologies and social movements. Such actions are allowing to bring out the misconceptions of simplifying rationalities, and the resulting theoretical weaknesses in the conceptions of language and educational action in Brazilian school and university system by announcing other possibilities to learn in social interaction.

Teaching Labor, care and Social Class

Moacir Fernando Viegas

mviegas@unisc.br

(+55 51) 3717-7543

Education

The main theme of the group's research is the teaching labor, with a focus on issues related to care, supported especially in the field of sociology of work. The original and unique character of the studies lies first of all in the approach that seeks to articulate education with care and work. As a result, gender studies as well as domestic work are also important to the group. The main objective is to understand the arrangements, the conditioning, and the educational processes involved in this articulation in which elementary school teachers and workers from other productive sectors are involved. The theme of social classes is considered essential, since the contradictions present in class struggles constitute the main source of the movement of the phenomena in which work, education, and care are articulated.
