Memórias de uma professora em (permanente) formação : sentipensando trajetórias performativo-discursivas e corpolíticas da profissão

Abstract

This research, entitled Memories of a teacher in (permanent) formation: sentipensando performative discursive and corpolitica l trajectories of the profession” profession”, aims to explore and problematize the memories of a Black and fat female teacher regarding her existence and feelings about her professional practice, based on her self understanding and the possibilities she envisions for the future, with regard to the m eanings attributed to teacher education and the teaching profession. Methodologically, it is grounded in narratives and autoethnography (MÉNDEZ, 2013; FRANK, SABOTA, 2024; hooks, 1989, 1994, 2019), within a qualitative inte rpretive framework. The investiga tion is anchored in Critical Language Education (MOITA LOPES, 2014; FRANK, 2013, 2021, 2023, 2024) and dialogues with contributions from corpolitics and decoloniality (KILOMBA, 2019; COLLINS, 2022; FANON, 2020; DAVIS, 1965/ 2024; FRANK, 2023, 2024), as part of an exercise of narrating who I am becoming. The empirical material was drawn from memories and lived experiences, encouraging the telling of my own life story within its social context. The reflections highlight the com plexity of discussions involving racial and fatphobic issues in social spaces and in the process of teacher education, considering the reality of constructing a Black/fat identity under racial oppression and stereotyping in a colonized country.
