The Spiral Process of a Draft Lesson

Abstract

The present text constitutes a discussion about how, in the first half of 2023, the experience with first-year students of the Portuguese-Literatures degree night course at the University Federal Fluminense has been taking place, within the scope of the subject Brazilian Literature I: Literature and cultural identities in Brazil. At the intersection between practice and theory, the text presents itself in the convergence between the report, the essay, and the academic article with a view to incorporating the integrated movement to decolonizing educational experiences into its own manufacture. Based on notions such as performance and spiral time by Leda Maria Martins; sketch map and housing by Tim Ingold; and Édouard Glissant's relationship and wandering, perceived in interrelationship, I expose how it came about and I have been developing the work together with the class. In this sense, I present the proposal of a draft lesson characterized by a spiral methodology and which, built from the classroom dwelling, exists as a process marked by the necessary incompleteness, according to Paulo Freire, for the development of knowledge and transformation processes Social. Contrary to the dichotomous structures of Western thought, the draft lesson is based, therefore, on doing and experiencing in a cumulative and mobile, gregarious and non-step-by-step manner.
