Cartographic Memories

ways of looking, hearing, remembering, creating and narrating with children and adults

Abstract

I was traversed by different rhythms in the school and museum spaces in 2015 and 2016, following and experiencing the cartographic processes of a research carried out in an early childhood school in the city of Fortaleza. Some authors were like fireflies in this academic journey, sparking a spark in events, making me see multiple layers. Among these theorists, I highlight Mikhail Bakhtin (1995), a philosopher of language, whose thought expands the reflection that produces meanings based on the concepts of dialogism and heteroglossia. With regard to cartography, I made use of the studies of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari (2011), for thinking the subjectivation processes in a rhizomatic way. The central category of the study was educational mediation, considered as an enhancer of artistic, cultural and sensitive knowledge for everyone involved in the training process. Such mediation was like a scaffolding in the production of sensitivity, which acceded to the artistic language of children and adults to contemporary works of art.
