| Abstract | |
Alien laughter, outsider, bizarre, grotesque, unpredictable, transgressive. This thesis formulates a (dis)proposal to the pedagogy of the comic from an investigation of strangeness caused by artistic and pedagogical practices in search for a laugh that could invade the education. Two students archetypes typified this way: the beautiful lady Cockroach and the old distorted Baobá. Lady Cockroach despises her dissimilar. She is popular, serious, intelligent and always praised by the school by following the rules. In contrast, the ugly, vicious, grotesque, ridiculous and comical old Baobá, like so many, she laughs for nothing. She has uncontrolled instincts, delivery up shamelessly to the events of the moment, subverts and, for this, is thus suppressed and deleted continuously. How to develop a comic mediation without prioritizes role models or looking for a serious looking beautiful forms and certain practices? What the strangeness and irrationality present in the state of the old Baobá, commonly execrated, can say about the comic? What could result from such a process? Interested by these issues, this thesis, from the action-research methodology (Barbier, 2007), proposed a theatrical comic workshop for the children and adolescents who lives in Guatupê neighborhood, in the metropolitan region of Curitiba-PR. Through the study of materials and data from the action-research, especially the roaming daily (Barbier, 2007), the search paths have revealed as circuitous detours, as a possibility to leave what was aimed. The disease, cheating, failure, ethical action and poetic destruction are potent for the production of laughter, conducting this research to build bizarre and ludicrous scenes as an educational becoming. Assuming the analysis as a squint and blurry for research, we accepted the fact that fixed answers should not be formulated. This way, bad behavior games, stun games and destruction games were structured from the analysis of results. These games are understood as (un)proposals in view to one (un)education, understanding also the comic mediation as an acceptance of (not)knowing. So ridiculous ways structured and pushed the strange final considerations, wrong, unreliable, irrelevant, incomplete, maladjusted, awry, sick, debilitated, grotesque, disjointed. Weakened, the work reveals that laughter invasion in education can become an unwelcome visitor, especially due to the transgressive character of the comic. However, it can enable an immersion in the new and the unknown, contributing to the learning of all involved. (AU) | |
