Mediação cultural : um estudo sobre o ensino de dança noprograma Mediotec - Dança em Pernanbuco.

Abstract

From the identification of the problem of the forms of inequality present in society, especially with regard to access to art and culture, the main objective of this research was to understand the contributions of cultural mediation to the teaching of dance in a school context, focusing professional education in the state of Pernambuco. The hypothesis investigated was that dance teaching via cultural mediation contributes to the elaboration of critical readings of oneself and the world, which make it possible to expand opportunities for access to art and culture. The research approach was exploratory, descriptive and analytical. The methodological design had as its main reference the single case study of the experience of cultural mediation in dance teaching carried out in the Technical Dance Course of the MedioTec Program in the city of Jaboatão dos Guararapes, Metropolitan Region of Recife, from 2017 to 2018. Therefore, the research was based on multiple sources of evidence: document analysis, semi-structured interviews, autobiographical accounts and participant observation records. The literature review included contributions from Aquino and Assis (2017); Andrade (2018); Barbosa (1989, 2014); Coutinho (2011); Dayrell (1996); Freire (1996, 2020); hooks (2017); Louppe (2012); Marques (2010); Martins (2012); Oliveira (2011) and Perrotti (2016). The investigation showed that MedioTec - Dança enabled high school students to enter cultural circuits in which they had not previously participated. In addition, awareness of the right to arts and culture contributed to the development of cultural projects by students within their own communities. The hypothesis was confirmed, explaining that the consolidation of cultural habits demands continued actions, which points, above all, to the importance of investing in public policies for education and culture, an effective way to bring about structural and society changes.
