ESTUDOS CULTURAIS EM COLCHA DE RETALHOS: Identidades em (Re)construção e memórias de um processo pandêmico.

Abstract

This dissertation, entitled: "Cultural Studies in Patchwork: Identities in (re)construction and memories of a pandemic process," is a qualitative and descriptive research based on autoethnography. The investigation focuses on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the school environment, especially at Escola Estadual Felipe Orro, located in Aquidauana/MS. Using a decolonial approach and based on theories by Stuart Hall (2003), Nestor Garcia Canclini (1997), Catherine Walsh (2016) and others, the research analyzes cultural resistance to understand teacher identity in the post-pandemic context and problematizes the curriculum from the perspective of Cultural Studies. The study reviewed literary classics, academic texts and articles to analyze how the pandemic influenced education, questioning the construction of identities, ideal curricula and emerging pedagogies. Bearing in mind that one of the most significant contributions that Cultural Studies brought to Education was precisely to reformulate our angles of vision and reading of the world, reorganize our thinking and sharpen our lenses, inaugurating another way of seeing and thinking about Education. It is understood that the context of the pandemic changed the ways in which educational processes are constructed and elaborated. The results show that the pandemic process had significant impacts on student behavior and pedagogical practices, promoting new methodologies and curricula that bring positive aspects to education.
