SOUZA, Helen Rose Leite Rodrigues de  and  CARVALHO, Carla. Unschooling: a case study on cultural mediation pathways. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2020, vol.15, e2014790.  Epub June 04, 2020. ISSN 1809-4309.  https://doi.org/10.5212/praxeduc.v.15.14790.041.

This paper, based on a case study, aimed to: a) present reflections on the concept of unschooling; b) describe aspects of the unschooling practice in the daily life of a family from Santa Catarina, Brazil; and c) understand cultural, aesthetic and artistic mediation pathways experienced by an adolescent in the unschooling practice. The data analysed came from interviews with an unschooling practitioner family from Santa Catarina, from the analysis of the personal diary of the adolescent member of this family, as well as from bibliographic studies necessary to understand the concept of unschooling and data recorded in the field diary of the researcher. Given the data generated and the relationship found between the terms “educational network or web” with Illich (1985), and “Web/Network of educational spaces for cultural mediation” with Kupiec, Neitzel and Carvalho (2016), a new concept was formed: “the web/network of cultural mediation in unschooling”.

Keywords : Aesthetic experience; Cultural mediation; Unschooling.
