Heterotopies and the production of meaning in reading room spaces

Abstract

This paper takes place between the ways of developing formation that narrow the relationship between basic school and university envisaged by invention. It takes as an analysis and intervention the experiences of teachers woven between Reading Rooms in the schools of the Municipal Department of Education of Rio de Janeiro (SME-RJ) and the investigations of the research group Oficina de Formação Inventiva de Professores (OFIP) of the Faculty of Teacher Formation of the Rio de Janeiro State University (FFP-UERJ). It sets out five principles that conduct the reading rooms, and the disputes of meaning that cross their existence contained in the Foucauldian concept of heterotopia, namely: the reading room is a place of literary reading, meeting, training, invention and of art. A reading room, in these terms, is not just a physical space, but the positions and counterpositions, which are manifested in the subject-space-time relationship.
