Didactics-creation: a Freirian perspective

Abstract

In continuation of Paulo Freire’s work, taken as an emancipatory pedagogy, this work proposes to develop an aesthetic perspective for critical pedagogy. To this end, it relies on a didactic-creation, derived from the notion of research-creation, which proposes an articulation between investigations in the field of social sciences and the artistic dimension. Considering that, within a capitalist society, art and the aesthetics were also instrumentalized by capital, the text criticizes the adoption of the aesthetic dimension in a purely technical perspective, claiming an ethical action as one that can deal with such reality. Through a theoretical dimension, this study presents the didactics-creation and its practical uses in a critical pedagogy, introducing digital collages to illustrate the issues addressed.
