Ensino de ciências, currículo e inclusão

A obra Ensino de Ciências, Currículo e Inclusão - diálogos interdisciplinares não poderia ter vindo em melhor hora. Ela se apresenta em uma conjuntura bastante consternadora para a Educação Brasileira, quando são postos à prova todos os avanços que alcançamos até aqui, e que apontavam na direção de um projeto cultural de educação emancipatório e transformador. Para aqueles que comungam da ideia freiriana de que o papel primordial da educação se volta para a comunhão entre humanos mediados por determinado objeto de conhecimento, sendo esta um ato revolucionário que permite ao sujeito entender e ter a capacidade de mudar o mundo, vivemos um momento perturbador. Perturbador porque a educação libertadora e, com ela, o currículo crítico e emancipador, a criatividade, o diálogo, a comunicação, os direitos humanos, a tolerância, a autonomia e a humanidade sustentável se tornaram temas a serem combatidos por uma parcela conservadora de nossa sociedade, dado o contexto de reemergência do reacionarismo no Brasil.

Currículo e formação no ensino de ciências

Este livro é para aqueles(as) que comungam das mais diferentes teorias educacionais, mas que convergem de algum modo para a ideia de educação para a liberdade, para a autonomia, para a emancipação, para a criticidade, para evitar a barbárie, para a revolução, enfim, em que o conhecimento historicamente sistematizado pela humanidade seja o principal objeto a ser mediado como forma de compreender, enfrentar, mudar/transformar o mundo. Temos certeza, que pelo menos um dos artigos cumprirá essa função de transformação, de reflexão, de crítica.

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

Home Reading Service

In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...

Since she's been ill, Lalla Fatma has become a frail little thing with a faltering memory. Lalla Fatma thinks she's in Fez in 1944, where she grew up, not in Tangier in 2000, where this story begins. She calls out to family members who are long dead and loses herself in the streets of her childhood, yearning for her first love and the city she left behind. By her bedside, her son Tahar listens to long-hidden secrets and stories from her past: married while still playing with dolls and widowed for the first time at the age of sixteen. Guided by these fragments, Tahar vividly conjures his mother's life in post-war Morocco, unravelling the story of a woman for whom resignation was the only way ...

The Italian

An emblematic story of the shipwreck of the Arab Spring At his father's funeral, to the great consternation of all present, Abdel Nasser beats the imam who is celebrating the funeral rite. The narrator, a childhood friend of the protagonist, retraces the story of "the Italian" from his days as a free and rebellious adolescent spirit to the leader of a student movement and then affirmed journalist. Those were crucial years in Tunisia, years of great tension, change, and repression. Against this background full of revolutionary ferments stands the tormented love story between Abdel Nasser and Zeina, a brilliant and beautiful philosophy student. Their dreams will unfortunately end up being wrecked under the ruthless gears of a corrupt and chauvinist society. Abdel Nasser's transformation from a young idealist with high hopes to a successful, but disillusioned and tired journalist is masterfully narrated in a stream of stories, digressions and flashbacks in which the narrative tension is always high. Winner of the 2015 International Prize for Arabic Fiction
