Entre escola e migrações, [por] uma educação-migrante.

Abstract

This writing is situated in a place where the school is contemplating migration, and migration the school, and how this tension can prompt to reflect on education. It is crafted from personal memories and language, between childhoods, interwoven with narrated encounters. These are some traces of cartography, from a pathway drawn between what is expected and what is not, in a methodological movement, from Deleuze and Guattari, open to invention, processes, and production, more than a representation of what already exists, it produces new processes, by following up question and creating new interrogations. Here, there are traces of an attention-intention, based on a question: How does the encounter between school and migration occur and what happens in between both? This progresses into: What happens when children of contemporary international migrations [and others], who have already a marked History regarding what has been imposed, meet a school with an established traditional education and a long History of memories as well?; what happens when these two projects – modern and colonial, but incapable to function in just one direction – meet in a public, state school, in the countryside of Rio Grande Sul in the extreme south of Brazil? From these encounters, the following thesis is proposed: between school and contemporary migrations, a time is claimed for the small gestures in education, taken as a time of transgression, a public space to produce memories, and ethical encounters on becoming a migrant. A migrant-education: that invites to speak an ordinary world and refuses to use a single language.
