Abstract

GALLO, Silvio  and  ESPINEL, Oscar. Crossed Readings between Freire and Foucault: On Scholar Alethurgies and Practices of Freedom. Pedagogía y Saberes [online]. 2021, n.55, pp.41-53.  Epub Feb 14, 2022. ISSN 0121-2494.  https://doi.org/10.17227/pys.num55-13017.

This research article aims to continue the task of thinking education, this time from the dialogue between two thinkers and two different perspectives, such as that presented by Michel Foucault and Paulo Freire. The paper uses Foucault's notions of aleturgy, practices of freedom, and heterotopy as analysis instruments aiming to guide the discussion, animate tensions, and think possibilities of lines of flight for education and school. Differences and positions face to Freire's concepts, such as practices of freedom and utopia seek to produce new theoretical tools and new methodological tools seek to problematize school, education and the hegemonic practices that unfold for them. In this exercise, in conjunction with Freire, reading is assumed as an act of thinking, thinking and interrogating oneself, opening horizons of inquiry. A critical reading such as the rewriting that was made by Freire himself through his life.

Keywords : aleturgy; education; heterotopy; freedom practices; utopia.
