Freirian constellations: struggles, affections, and memories

Abstract

Some books are special because of certain factors, while others are special because of many factors that add up and mix together. In the latter case, writing and reading are intertwined in a circuit that opens and closes - in other words, the author's realisation finds its definitive home in the reception of the reader. In other words, as we know, there is no such thing as a book without a readership: the latter gives meaning to the former. Débora Mazza, in bringing Paulo Freire, culture and education to light, offers many possibilities for the reader to find their own links, to configure their own circuits. A mixture of reflections and reminiscences with academic analysis, the figure examined by the author is none other than the patron saint of Brazilian education, Paulo Freire, with whom she has established links at various levels and in various ways, which she presents to us.
