Map a territory with diffuse borders. Presentation of the dossier Affectivity, pedagogy and resistance

Abstract

The invitation to coordinate this dossier came from the hand of a research project that we started in the year 2023, integrated by teaching colleagues, students and graduates of the Visual Arts career. It began in a classroom and, as such, it was sketched from the questions that emerged from the teaching practice located there, but also from the questions that the pandemic brought us, in terms of isolation and the absence of a space to share. The return to face-to-face attendance made us return to the familiar normality, even though we knew, from our own experience, that those years of scarce contacts brought with them a significant amount of changes. In planning programs, methodologies, activities and, above all, foreseeing possibilities and difficulties of coexistence, the pandemic period enhanced our attention to the links that occur in the practice of teaching; which would be equivalent to translating them in relation to affectivity and pedagogy, as well as resistance. From there, the tenth issue of this journal was presented to us as an opportunity to organize a mapping of events, readings, conversations and pedagogical practices that work from these crossings.
