COSTA, Luciano Bedin da and COSTA, Cristiano Bedin da. Short Scenes: academic writing as a combat. Rev. Polis Psique [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.2, pp.171-186. ISSN 2238-152X.
Short scenes: brief figures, relatively independent, freely arranged. A little model kit, shall we say. Therefore the reading should establish its own measure. As a combat, writing reveals itself as a small, intimate and daily renewed life commitment. Thus, being the writer as a fighter who studies (and therefore: inquires) the adversary: neither before nor after but during the fight. Assuming Roland Barthes as interlocutor, what we commonly call academic writing is understood as a special type of combat. As such, it is capable of offering us clues to think about writing and the gesture of writing amidst institutional demands.
