BERINO, Aristóteles de Paula; NEVES, Luciana Dilascio  and  SANTOS, Vanessa de Andrade Lira dos. The artistic task of the act of knowing: aesthetics, creation and reexistence in Paulo Freire. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.58, pp.89-109.  Epub Feb 28, 2022. ISSN 2318-1982.  https://doi.org/10.20435/serie-estudos.v26i58.1600.

Repeatedly cited in several passages in Paulo Freire’s work, the aesthetic or artistic question is dimensioned as a fundamental part of the practical-theoretical formulations of Freire’s pedagogy. This work is based on a dialogue about the problematization of this aesthetic issue in Freire’s thinking, reflecting the issues involved in this understanding, as well as the relationship that creation constitutes with politics, as it becomes emerging, as well, in our own political moment, the need to invent pedagogical ways and strategies based on the continuous awareness of political and sociocultural issues that affect us. The approaches developed on the subject in question constitute a point of intersection with the intimate relationship between art, politics, and education, and the understanding of the strength of the creative dimension as an opening of possibilities in the educational field and of reexistences; as a counterpoint to the market policy of the historical temporal determinism of the dominant powers. It is understood that there is still a lot to go into about the aesthetic issue in Paulo Freire, contributing to the emergence of new practices of struggle and creation.

Keywords : Paulo Freire; creation; reexistence.
