"Adolescente e saber": contribuições da psicanálise na escuta dos impasses em relação à alfabetização e ao letramento

Abstract

This dissertation proposes a dialogue between the fields of psychoanalysis and education, focusing on a recurring problem in Brazilian statistics: the high number of adolescents with persistent learning difficulties, especially in reading, writing and basic mathematical operations. This research is based on cases attended by the Adolescent and Knowledge Extension Project (FaE/UFMG), within the scope of the Janela da Escuta Program (FM/UFMG), which carries out pedagogical interventions with adolescents in situations of school failure, including the perspective of the subject of the unconscious in the understanding of these difficulties. The case study methodology was used, guided by the construction of the psychoanalytical case, aiming to highlight the singularity of the experiences and propose listening strategies that favor new ways of coping with school difficulties. The analysis is supported by psychoanalytic concepts such as desire, symptom and transference, discussing the relationship between formal school knowledge and unconscious knowledge, in addition to opposing crystallized positions that support pathologizing and medicalizing discourses. As an educational resource, the proposal is to produce pedagogical stories organized into four volumes, aiming at accessible and sensitive scientific dissemination. The objective is to raise awareness among education professionals to recognize adolescents as subjects of desire and knowledge, and not just as carriers of deficits or pathologies.
