Territórios e tessituras de encontros, pesquisas e escutas em Educação Popular e Agroecologia

diálogos com Carlos Rodrigues Brandão

Abstract

This study is an invitation to reflect on the teachings of Carlos Rodrigues Brandão. In this sense, we propose to present reflections on the praxis of Participant Research from Popular Education and Agroecology in the light of dialogues with Carlos Rodrigues Brandão. Considering that Popular Education and Agroecology manifest themselves as foundations of what we will call a society project, we constructed a dissertation essay based on theoretical, practical and epistemological bases, based on a framework of works by educator Brandão (1985, 1986, 1995, 2002, 2007, 2014) and other scholars. We are also based on experiences carried out in the Agroecological Territory of Borborema, in Paraíba. Such experiences - teaching, research and extension - are understood as instruments of class resistance, based on popular participation. We point out here a bias that breaks the logic for and begins to build with, from perspectives coming from different spaces for the construction of agroecological knowledge and the dialogue of knowledge, these, which materialize in the territories and wanderings of popular educator Carlos Rodrigues Brandão, in his life and work.
