This article aims to narrow down how literary reading can catalyze education through experience. To this end, it uses as a theoretical-methodological tool the problematization based on the studies of Michel Foucault (2006). Article writing is developed in three moments. In the first moment, based on the writings of Jorge Larrosa (2009, 2011, 2016), it approaches the concept of experience and pays attention to what can prevent it. In the second moment, it focuses on studies undertaken by Michel Foucault (2009, 2010, 2013) to tension the experience as that which can both constitute the subject and de-subjectivize it. Finally, a dialogue is established with works produced by the two philosophers mentioned, paying attention to the power that literary reading has to catalyze experiences in those who read. The exercise of thought that this article proposes is strengthened by the interlocutions that are established in it between philosophical references and literary works of different genres and times. It is hoped that the writing of this article will find other teachers and researchers in the educational field, provoking them to ally themselves with philosophy and literature in the invention of other ways of thinking and experiencing education that are not only scientific.

This article proposed to analyze the discourses of truths seen on the Web site Portal do Envelhecimento that have been subjecting the elderly subjects in the period of the covid-19 pandemic in Brazil. The theoretical field undertaken in this study refers, principally, to Michel Foucault's studies regarding discussions about subject and subjectivity. How discourses of truth are composed on the subject of health and old age of the population are problematized. It is a question of scrutinizing the reports of the Portal do Envelhecimento that focus on the pandemic and old age. The time frame of the analytical study comprises materials from 2019 to 2021. We look at the strategies that media produces and promotes, such as habits and lifestyles, modifying the subjects, defining conducts, and creating control and regulatory approaches for the elderly population. However, it is also seen that the stories can contribute to the elderly thinking about the problems they face, the health experiences they have, and the possible ways of dealing with what affects them. It is about aiming carefully and with the Foucaultian scope how elders reach old age in this pandemic time we are going through. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses the dissemination and use of environmental discourse in the virtual space as a strategy to raise awareness about the planet, aiming to produce environmental human beings. Considering the discursive scenario and the emergence of a new model of subjects, this paper aimed to examine the construction of environmentally correct individuals in the electronic game Minecraft. Studies of the discourse analysis developed by Michel Foucault were used to provide the background for our methodology and to map discursiveness found in our material. When analyzing the discursiveness in the game, an environmental pedagogical discourse was evidenced, which is materialized through the environmental human statement. These are discursive tactics that aim to teach the players ways of being and acting environmentally correct, through the images of the characters, scenes, and the lessons of returning to natural life.

This article aims to establish a dialogue around the concept of Nature and its discourse conveyed in the Comic Books of the character Chico Bento. The discussions articulated in the field of Education refer, in particular, to the Environmental Education. In this article, we present one of the statements that helped to the constitution of the discourse of nature through Comics, which we call as: “A Romantic Ideal of Nature”. In a Foucauldian perspective, we understand this statement as one of the parts that sustains the discourse of emerging nature in certain Environmental Education practices produced in contemporary Western culture. The research presents as main result possible contributions to a critical analysis regarding the discourse of nature present in comics, since, there is, frequently, the definition of a particular type of individual: the ecologically correct. It is necessary to put under suspicion a single constitution of an individual that leads us to definitions and determinations that define a single way of being and living in the present time.

This paper describes a research focused on articulating Environmental Education and media studies. By studying some of these discourses we are able to understand that the media starts a relation of power process by fabricating truths, producing meanings and shaping people. We highlight the strong mediatic appeal in the constitution of contemporaneous individuals concerned about human life on our planet. In face of this contemporaneous scenario, we specifically problematize the field of environmental education and discuss some fragments of mediatic discourses which engender ecological subjects. In this text we approach two profoundly divergent discourses - one about the environmental crisis and the other about the permanent encouragement to consumerism. We also question the apocalyptic discourses about the end of the world because of the misuse of natural resources. As a conclusion, the reader is challenged into reflecting about the importance of those sayings in our lives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article intends to contribute with a discourse dear to the present times: the urgency of environmental issues. We seek support in globally recognized authors who discuss those dramas lived daily by us. We also seek to show how the theme of an environmental crisis has entered the current agenda of our society, mostly by the media, quite often supporting a policy of fear. We emphasize the discussion of an ethics of planetary care, assuming care as an ontological category able to reconnect us with the Earth. In face of the policy of fear, based on guilt and terror, Education is responsible for the agency of a praxis that favors a sense of collectivity and political action, countering the contemporary individualism.
