THE WRITING OF HISTORY AND ITS NONSENSE: A RESEARCH EXPERIENCE WITH MICHEL DE CERTEAU AND MANOEL DE BARROS

Abstract

This work aims to present a research experience on the school daily life of an educational institution, in which Michel de Certeau had as its main theoretical reference, together with the poetry of Manoel de Barros. To this end, the research experience focuses on highlighting the arts of making, from the initiative of the construction of the school by the community itself, as well as about the creative, inventive, and astute dynamics of those who participated in their school daily life. The methodology is anchored in qualitative research, of a historical nature and as resources it was used oral testimonies and historical documents about the education of the city of Sinop-MT. It is a proposal for the writing of history that assumes itself as an unfinished version, full of nonsense, as Manoel de Barros would say. However, it deals with the composition of a history against the grain, from the perspectives of a doing science with art and poetry, inviting the reader to look at a past, in which each one, in their own way, exercised their arts of making themselves a subject like no one else, each with the singularity that was its own.
