Narrativas entrelaçadas: conversando sobre leituras e lembranças de escola com mulheres que se

Abstract

This work presents reflections about a research realized in the Education Master Degree at UFPel, which has developed in Afro Culture beauty salon, located in Rio Grande. It had a focus on perceiving, by the narrative of three women, readings and memories from their school ages, interrupted by several reasons. The narratives show reasons that have influenced the process of leave school. For example we point the necessity of sustenance, implicitly or explicitly. Each woman talked about her daily-learning process through non-formal experiences. Then, with the complex dealings with hair, they recognize a society that imposes standards. The announce their dreams even that these dreams were not built by a formal knowledge, the show the school as a significant and dreamed place to be, differently from the women everyday experiences. I show possible reflections about the non-neutral inherent in the research about Education. It points methodological ways to conceive the Education, through the report of my experience and reflection with these women. I also present combined and trans-created narratives from Afro-Brazilian women that walked by a way of non-formal knowledge. The report memories and readings which are collected in mind. Differently from the researcher, because at the research moment I was collecting information, I consider the school process as a bridge to the objective established by my dreams and desires, these women had the experience of school just a passage. There are stories which are forked in a specific moment, but by the nearness with the Afro-Brazilian Culture, they get together, and it happens because the connection with the curly hair. To understand the reasons of these readings it is fundamental to perceive that this kind of everyday life is generating knowledge and possibilities of analysis. So, this research tries to establish a dialogue with women without other intention and it also tries to extend the restricted sight that these women built.
