CAMPESATO, Maria Alice Gouvêa. SENECA AND PAULO FREIRE: reading as equipment against contemporary stultitia. Revista Teias [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.67, pp.43-55.  Epub 14-Fev-2023. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2021.61966.

This article, which results from the excerpt of an archegenealogical research that investigated the class from the Greco-Roman tradition to innovative pedagogical practices, seeks to reflect on education in contemporary times, based on Foucault's analytical tools of reading as a technique of the self. To this end, it brings together reading as a spiritual exercise practiced by the stoic Seneca and the reading of the world envisaged by the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire, in the year that celebrates the centenary of his birth. This approximation opens up as a possibility of confronting current forms of life based on acceleration, fragmentation, and, recently, on conservative and necropolitics waves, in which opinion takes the place of science and the word loses its power and value. The lengthy and attentive reading, therefore, comes to be constituted as a form of (re)existence, creating an equipment against contemporary stultitia, so that one can think of other modes of existence and other possible worlds.

Palavras-chave : denialism; conservatism; education.
