Abstract

This project intends to lead in search of the lost Eros, mythical and forgotten figure who Paolo Mottana brings to the field of education associated with the concept of counter education. It is Eros and the concept of counter education that we intend to investigate during the year of the Research Internship Abroad (BEPE). Thus, the project has as central problematic the following question: how can the figure of Eros and the concept of counter education operate along with the concept of inventive learning and then potentialize the questions about learning with passion in students of elementary school? We propose, in this sense, four objectives for this research:1st) search in the works of that author incidences of the figure of Eros and the concept of counter education; 2nd) open a problematic field so that the figure of Eros and the concept of counter education operate along with the one of inventive learnings; 3rd) expand research on the concept of counter education linking it to other concepts studied by the author and which connect to the object of the present study (desire, erotics, antipedagogy, passion); 4th) perform a cartography of school passions and so recover and reaffirm with pedagogical potency the figure of Eros in the educational field. Each of these objectives will be dealt with in a specific moment of the research. The methodology here adopted intends to perform a cartography of Mottana´s concepts operating so that the search for the lost Eros and the concept of counter education are potentialized in the constructions of inventive learnings.
