A ontologia do diálogo a partir das leituras freirianas: o encontro com a palavra

Abstract

The research presented in this dissertation, inserted from a Philosophy of Education perspective, creates support for thinking about the practice of dialogue. Its objective is to identify the conditions and/or assumptions for the word to be spoken in accordance with Freirian theory. As a research problem, the question is what are the conditions of possibilities for dialogue to be constituted as a resource for social transformation/formation. Considering the importance of the dialogical relationship for cultural appropriation between the subjects of educational action, the investigation highlights the possible connections that the word establishes between socio-affective, ethical and human relationships. In this sense, the word will be perceived in the relationships that are established in intersubjectivity, in the sharing of meanings and experiences, in the order of dialogicity between people. The investigative methodology was based on the mapping and study of the concept of dialogue/dialogic practice present in a set of works by the thinker Paulo Freire (1992, 2011, 2019, 2021, 2023). It was carried out through a bibliographical review of academic productions published in two databases (Catalog of theses and dissertations from CAPES and Google Scholar). Such productions were used as a reference to problematize the meaning of “learning to say your word”. Therefore, it is defended as a hypothesis that the possibility of dialogue is the pronouncement of the constitutive existence of the encounter with the other, in such a way that the essence of human resides in dialogue, since words can be understood as being the mediation and the meeting place, flowing like a river that knows no limits.
