Poem-class: experiments of doing school in the pandemic

Abstract

The text presents teaching propositions made by the author in a remote format due to the Coronavirus pandemic, in undergraduate and graduate courses, in the Department of Performing Arts of CEART/UDESC; and in the PIBID/Arte Project - 2020-2022 edition, of which she was area coordinator. The requirement to hold online meetings opened space for the experimentation of proposals that could align with the idea of a "poem class" (Branco, [2020]), to the extent that writing expanded as a field of creation and experimentation in the art class. The themes of study revolved around topics such as: experience and sense and the useful/useless pair in education and the arts, with Alex Nógues (2020), Jorge Larrosa (2016; 2018) and Ailton Krenak (2020); the sense of doing and redoing school, with Jan Masschelein, Maarten Simons (2014) and James Rumford (2012); tiredness, fear and violence, which intensified in the pandemic period, with Hannah Arendt (2009), José Sergio de Carvalho (2016) and Jeferson Tenório (2020). The authors read from the field of pedagogy and literature contributed to the attempt to establish a poetic class and, in this text, helped to elaborate the path taken.
