PEREIRA, Marcelo de Andrade. Performance e educação: configurações parateatrais da docência. Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2014, vol.39, n.03, pp.505-514. ISSN 1984-6444.
This paper discusses teaching as paratheatrical performance. To reach this aim, we rely on Performance Studies and contemporary discussions of Education, introducing concepts such as everyday life, performativity, and the teaching practice. The text problematizes the nature and function of teaching in its theatricality. The figures of the clown, the jester or the dandy are brought in as a support through which the performance and theatricality of the act of teaching are carried out.
