The circus in the educational scenario of Brazil and Latin American countries

Abstract

This review aims to present and discuss the work Circus: educational horizons of Marco Bortoleto, Teresa Barragán and Erminia Silva, which proposes to present educational prospects within the circus. The book approaches a theme that is not very well treated in the academic field, making it relevant, especially in relation to educational aspects. Throughout the thirteen chapters are presented life stories and experience reports about the circus in different contexts, national and international, formal and informal, dealing with its innumerable possibilities, making possible the understanding of this object as an historical and cultural phenomenon.
