“HISTÓRIAS DA ESCOLA DA SERRA DE TIRADENTES: MEMÓRIAS, AFECTOS, EXPERIÊNCIAS E ESTRANHAMENTOS
Alternative Schools; Memory; Experience; Affection; Estrangement.
This research aims to explore and narrate the extinct Escola da Serra de Tiradentes, founded in 1996 by a Swiss couple, a teacher from São Paulo and an architect from Curitiba. It was thought inspired by the alternative schools movement which started in 1857 led by Leon Tolstoi and immortalized by authors such as: J.J. Rousseau, H. Pestalozzi, Maria Montessori, C. Frenet, Jean Piaget, Emília Ferreiro, Paulo Freire, Rudolf Steiner and J. Krishnamurti. Prominent in this essay has been the narratives of the school's history, after the review of several documents and meetings with twenty participants and their intensities, being them: memory, affection, experience and estrangement, seeking potency of the voices, scribbles and estrangements which we found in our path. With cartography and with a rhizomatic writing using a free indirect speech, we support the idea that the school, despite being extinct, can still tell many stories and is able to awake, in those who have walked these floors, feelings of free will and of freedom of thoughts.
