Indolent teacher?: A dialogue between De Sousa and Freire
Abstract
This text builds on the reasons and ecologies that the Portuguese sociologist Boaventura de Sousa Santos (1970) exposes, as well as the deployment that Paulo Freire (1970, 2003) makes about the educational process emphasizing on the work of teachers. The reflection invites educators to defy the indolent reason and combat the waste of social experience, understanding this indolence as a resignation to the infinite and preset future that has education immersed in a monocultures world. Therefore, an invitation is made in order to advance into the liberating ecologies proposed by De Sousa, and linked to the Pedagogy for Liberation presented by Freire.
