Narrativas visuais de sí: o livro de artista como mediador do imaginário

Abstract

This dissertation started from a desire to continue with the research from the monograph defended in 2018, as well as to deepen the power of the artist’s book as mediator f the imaginary. It is a qualitative research, with a socio-phenomenological nature, guided by the principles of experimental formation (JOSSO, 2004) and the theories of the imaginary (DURAND, 2010), in wich the artist’s book is available as a priviled support for to visualize the creative power of the imaginary through verbal and non-verbal narratives. The research starts from the question: Could the artist’s book help in understanding who we are and how we act collectively through visual narratives linked to theories of the imaginary? (SILVA, 2006) through the data collected during the creation of a continuing education course entitled “What is to be a teacher? Making the imaginary visible in artist’s books”. This research had financial support from the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), wich encourages the continuity of this research.
