Invention and reinvention: flowing and confluence between Michel Serres and Paulo Freire

Abstract

Although briefly, this text aims to bring Michel Serres and Paulo Freire closer. In this regard, we understand that the ideas shown in their works are innovative possibilities of thinking the world, the man, education, society and knowledge. They are also works that investigate the invention and reinvention of new teaching and learning ways, especially in the current context, in which the young and the educators, set in another reality, neither live nor relate in their ancestors’ world. That is why Serres and Freire’s thoughts suggest new ways and alternatives to a new education directed to the world’s concreteness and to man’s unfinishing under a critical approach, which first objective is the humanization of man rooted in the world and in the relation with the others. Concepts such as invention and reinvention are the original and dynamic signatures of the ‘narratives philosophy’ educational notion and the ‘obvious-traveler educator’, both concatenated with the world, the mankind, education and a new pedagogy realization.
