Me, Young people and Philosophy. Alphabet on a philosophical doing.
This work is about listening, writing and reflection. Provoked by Gilles Deleuze, Jorge Larossa and Karen Rechia, words will be central in this narrative about a non-linear school practice with a focus on philosophy. Through the records of the classes I taught in the years 2019 and 2020 I prepared a kind of diary. This work proposes a reflective account of a philosophical practice in one of the Middle Schools in Brazil, more specifically in São Paulo. The narratives are organized by words in alphabetical order or by date of the event. The words are the result of classes and reflections on being a professor of philosophy. The purpose of this research was to expose difficulties, weaknesses and ideas that could be shared. No incredible models or methods are proposed to be followed. Here are ideas and experiences expressed that may or may not make sense to someone. This account is based on the lessons of the years mentioned above, but somehow they reflect the more than twenty years that I lived in classrooms in high school.
