FERRACO, Carlos Eduardo. Threads of memories … On possibilities of writing one's self and inventing worlds... Educ. Rev. [online]. 2021, vol.37, e75205.  Epub Apr 08, 2021. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-4060.75205.

This article aims to problematize different events experienced in the immanence of a life. It is based on some threads of memories assumed as possible written productions of one's self and the invention of worlds, seeking to escape the representations and explanations that are implied as attestations of truth of what has been lived, allied to the hypertrophy of the Self, which are marks of the chapter of Modernity that celebrates the emergence of a self-centered subject who is endowed with mindfulness. To this end, it seeks to intertwine different temporalities that were constituted as processes of self-education, in the midst of epistemologies and life experiments, assumed as folds that allowed us to highlight issues related to ruptures and discontinuities, in order to help us advocate that a life is always in excess in relation to any writing produced about this life. If, at the end of the reading, a thread of Ariadne appears as a plot pre-established by us, it is certainly an effect that reverberated with the act of writing itself and not as an effect of a prior intention-cause. If I am asked: Was there this memorial or did you make it up? I would say: If there wasn't, now, because I wrote, it came into being. It never happened as a priori truth so that it can rise as an invention, as many times as necessary.

Keywords : Memory; Invention; Writings about one's self; Self-education; Experience.
