SENDING LETTERS. EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES AND CREATION IN ESCRILEITURAS

Abstract

The project Escrileituras: um modo de ‘lerescrever’ em meio à vida (Escrileituras: a way of ‘readingwriting’ in the midst of life) is a research and action project, developed in partnership between schools and research groups of four Brazilian universities. It focuses on teaching practices that promote and enhance the development of reading through writing, and of writing through reading, seeing the two as inseparable practices, developed here in Transcreation Workshops (OsT). The aim of this study is take texts produced by teachers and students during a transcreation workshop. For handling the escrileituras we used otobiographical gestures, which act as methodological resources for listening to the expressions that permeate the individual production: expressions of writing for oneself, expressions of the desire to reveal power, expressions of a life that continuously seeks for more life. Simultaneously, the différance, as the opening of the game, gives an opportunity for inflow of the results of the transcreation.
