filosofâncias

antecipando o mundo pelas práticas da gentileza, da serenidade e da (des)obediência a si

Abstract

This reflective, theoretical and philosophical article is part of a post-doctoral internship, in the Philosophy for/with Children Research Line, carried out at the University of the Azores, São Miguel, in Portugal. The starting point for the reflection is a meeting held at the Escola Básica Integrada Armando Côrtes-Rodrigues, in Vila Franca do Campo, São Miguel, on November 2, 2023. It was a philosophical meeting integrated into the Project called Filosofâncias: communities of philosophical research (Santos et al., 2022), whose teaching research and children's practices are developed in this school. This meeting was attended by some Basic Education students, teachers from the Faculty and research teachers from the University of the Azores (UAc. Portugal), São Francisco University (USF-Itatiba/SP-Brazil) and Jaume I University (Castellón, Spain). The proposed activity consisted of the presentation of an animated short film titled “Give in to Giving”, produced in 2018 by Leo Burnett Dubai for Hanzo Film. After viewing the short, philosophical questions and dialogues were developed within the framework of the “philosophical research community” approach, around various topics. The philosophical activity with children and adults resonated with the researchers present far beyond the chronological time of the session, opening spaces between problematization and writing around gentleness, serenity and self-obedience as practices of anticipation of the world. It is on them that this text focuses.
