Pesquisar com a escola
“não habitar a escola como meros espectadores, mas como ativos inquiridores, atuantes na sua construção cotidiana” (GALLO, MENDONÇA, 2020, p.15) As palavras escolhidas como epígrafe desta apresentação materializam o convite que desejamos fazer aos leitores deste livro. Enquanto pesquisadores, professores e estudantes não podemos agir como meros espectadores que apenas habitam o espaço da escola. Tal postura faria de nós apenas reprodutores de práticas historicamente enraizadas e naturalizadas no e pelo cotidiano escolar. No lugar disso, assumimos a postura de inquiridores da escola, porém não no sentido de julgadores do que se passa e do que se faz na escola. Tomar o lugar de ativos inquiridores da escola significa interrogar-se constantemente sobre as suas práticas, seus saberes, suas verdades e seus modos de ser no espaço/tempo contemporâneo. É esse o exercício que tentamos fazer neste livro e que convidamos os leitores a partilhar conosco. Um exercício que não parta da “escola em sua generalidade, mas se ocupe sempre de uma escola que pulsa, vive e ressoa em todos os seus habitantes” (GALLO, MENDONÇA, 2020, p. 14).
Machado de Assis
Novelist, poet, playwright, and short story writer Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis (1839–1908) is widely regarded as Brazil's greatest writer, although his work is still too little read outside his native country. In this first comprehensive English-language examination of Machado since Helen Caldwell's seminal 1970 study, K. David Jackson reveals Machado de Assis as an important world author, one of the inventors of literary modernism whose writings profoundly influenced some of the most celebrated authors of the twentieth century, including José Saramago, Carlos Fuentes, and Donald Barthelme. Jackson introduces a hitherto unknown Machado de Assis to readers, illuminating the remarkable life, work, and legacy of the genius whom Susan Sontag called “the greatest writer ever produced in Latin America” and whom Allen Ginsberg hailed as “another Kafka.” Philip Roth has said of him that “like Beckett, he is ironic about suffering.” And Harold Bloom has remarked of Machado that “he's funny as hell.”
