THE NO OF RAIMUNDO SILVA: NARRATIVE RESEARCH AS A THEORETICAL-METHODOLOGICAL ALTERNATIVE TO CONFRONT THE SIEGE IMPOSED BY THE EDUCATIONAL POLICIES OF THE PRESENT TIME

Abstract

In this article we present the narrative research as a theoretical-methodological strategy that values the knowledge of physical education teachers, and strengthens them in the fight against the design of educational policies formulated in the country during the last year, especially the MP 746/2016. As a counterpoint, we metaphorically defend the formulation of non-narratives, inspired by the attitude of book reviewer Raimundo Silva, a character of the novel “The History of the Siege of Lisbon”, by writer José Saramago, who in his work adds a no to the invitation made by the Portuguese clerics to the crusaders to help them take the city from the dominion of the "moors". For us, in the production of alternative narratives, based on the experiences of teachers, there are possibilities to open the history (GAGNEBIN, 2013), reinvented and complexifying knowledge, creating local and marginal alternatives to the “siege” imposed by recent educational policies.
