Corpos em rede, intercorporeidade e educação especial em meio à pandemia do novo coronavírus: uma abordagem fenomenológica

Abstract

This thesis aimed to describe, comprehensively, phenomenological aspects in the perceptions experienced by the sensitive body under the notion of intercorporeality of three managerial teachers, a teacher specialized in special education, a public student target of special education and her mother, in the possibilities of getting entangled with other bodies in a perception of otherness, in the constitutive processes of (special) and inclusive education, in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic period of isolation and social distancing. The research took place in a common public basic education school in the city of Vitória/ES. It highlights the concept of intercorporeity and was carried out based on the phenomenological approach proposed by the French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty, which is based on the experience of the body itself in a sensitive perception of the other and the things of the world. As tools to understand what is shown in the lives of the research people, the thesis made use of video call applications, text and audio messages, recording of interviews and personal testimonies, allowing, in the context of isolation and social distance, an immersion in the locus of the phenomenon. The results seem to show a self-perception in an attempt to understand the other both in terms of pedagogical performance of education professionals and in the experience of the student and her mother. It reveals different perceptions interwoven in the body of each of these people in their search for others. It comes to light with multiple perceptions of the self and the other that, in an inseparable way, they complement and at the same time oppose each other, such as joy/sadness, accomplishment/disappointment, health/illness and life/death, which carry a concern to understand what shows itself in the other's body, which inhabits the same world, perceived with uncertainties about things in the world and the body itself, with its unique and inherent feelings in the experience, in times of measures of distancing and social isolation during the pandemic of the new Coronavirus.
