feminino/masculino, educar pelo espírito, (per)formar como respostaAbstract
In times of transformation, evoking Paulo Freire in one of his ways of expressing ideas, such as in a letter I address to colleagues who, like me, dedicate themselves to education, reviewing, reinventing, reusing as necessary practices to achieve hope in the place of guidance for essential changes and to approach the much-desired freedom in the construction of future thoughts, in view of past times for present adjustment, to embody feminine/masculine beyond the duality of woman/man. The (per)forming as a possible way to bring forth tensions before the self and its spirit in order to reach and enjoy the sensibilities. However, we know the crucial time to expand and guarantee spaces for speech, without forgetting where power manifests, in the context of existing in a sickly capital in order to approach what may become a capital echo toward the common, transversal, and egalitarian, for a place that does not yet exist and for a transformed human being.
