SILVA, Silas Veloso de Paula and ALVES, Isabella Nara Costa. “BEING” A DISSIDENT TEACHER: between life that is built contingently and representative fiction. Revista Teias [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.67, pp.434-449. Epub Feb 23, 2023. ISSN 1982-0305. https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2021.53031.
This essay seeks to provoke reflections on teaching identities, discussing the (im)possibilities of any closure and suture of the subjects who incorporate them. The hegemonic representation of the teaching professional is pointed out as a representative fiction that is modified or preserved according to the disputes over educational demands. Based on theoretical discussions about identity, subject and performance, and experiences lived by the authors and/or by teachers that we mention here as “dissidents”, the relevance of looking at the different positions of these human and professional subjects is reiterated, from the conception that one is not born a teacher becomes one. The work is the result of a qualitative research, with an exploratory character, from a perspective oriented to the exposed problems (problem driven researche), concludes by placing the regulation of teaching identities and performances in face of the hegemonic discourses of normatization and the (im)possibilities to overcome such restrictions through dissident bodies and experiences in the field of education.
