PAULON, Simone Mainieri  and  CEDRAZ, Ariadne. Between giving up and withstanding: notes on everyday teaching in superior education. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2020, vol.26, n.1, pp.397-414. ISSN 1677-1168.  https://doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2020v26n1p386-404.

This study aims to bring into evidence a sensitive dimension of educational practices, through a non-standardized style of knowledge production. The text-script permeates an actress’ artistic performance while unveiling the stage-classroom where teaching is performed, embodying contemporary existential dilemmas pertaining to working with education. The exercise of fictional writing, as proposed by Bottoni and Costa, sets up the methodological strategy that interweaves this study. This strategy aims to reveal paradoxes of a professional practice in face of the predominant nihilism that takes the actors’ bodies, in the context defined by Han as "society of the weariness". How to develop resistance movements, where just weariness seems to exist? How to build up escape lines, when everything seems to invite to relinquishment? These are the questions suggested throughout the plot. They call for the analysis of education in times that not only invite to give up, as also incite resistances.

Keywords : Fictional narrative; Nihilism; Resistance; Teaching work; Creation.
