A perspectiva estética do trabalho docente

Abstract

In this article, the theme of teaching work is approached based on the proposition of some aesthetic foundations that can contribute to the evaluation of its form of organization and development. It is proposed as objectives to characterize the tragic, the creating drunkenness, strangeness and shock, and argue in favor of its incorporation in the work of educators. The problem that guided this investigation was the following question: What is the place of the aesthetic foundations in the teaching work? The theoretical references of Friedrich Nietzsche, Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Walter Benjamin, Vilém Flusser were used to analyze the proposed problem. It was concluded that the teaching work is more significant and produces meanings to the subjects involved in the pedagogical process when the form of organization and development is guided by an aesthetic rationality resulting from the principles presented here, in addition to enhancing the overcoming of instrumental rationality and the resulting market standardization that is present in the educational activity.
