Derrida e a educação : o acontecimento do impossível

Abstract

This dissertation is a study that tries to establish an approach between the philosopher Jacques Derrida´s thought, known as deconstruction, and education, showing some convergences between them. Considering this, it is questionable if education can be a movement in/of deconstruction. The study aims to understand the importance of resuming some fundamental concepts in the discourse on education, whose meaning would be an assurance of speeches´ stability, given as ways or formulas, which are capable to handle everything that is understood by education. The procedure in this study is a bibliographic research, through an interpretative analysis, considering Derrida´s theoretical references and his deep analysis and questioning of philosophical tradition´s authors. The theme was chosen because of the importance of understanding education as openness to others, responsibility, and the response to singularity. During the study, several important concepts are discussed about Derrida´s deconstruction, trying to show how deconstruction marks another possibility to look at and face the current discourse on education. In conclusion, there is the need to consider education according to look future, thinking about the other as one who comes unexpectedly, and which meeting can not be estimated and planned because the other is always unpredictable and entirely another.
