Nos riscos da Pedagogia: uma narrativa entre (auto)biografia e o autorretrato

Abstract

The main problem of the present study is to investigate how a person's experiences and life events, when recorded in the form of a self-portrait, can influence the construction of body image. To answer this question, I delved into my own self-portraits that have been created since 2016, before entering undergraduate studies, observing how my perception of myself and my body has changed over time and how drawing myself has contributed to these changes in body image. I drew inspiration from other artists, such as Frida Kahlo, who also reflected their lives in prints. Additionally, I explored the importance of cultivating a positive self-perception from early childhood, emphasizing that this is supported by law. The significance of the pedagogy course as a formative space is evident in this narrative, as it shaped many transformative experiences that underpin this research. The theoretical, aesthetic, and ethical references have transformed my perspective since 2018, and through the visual records presented here, it is possible to compare and identify the points of rupture and mending in the threads of my experience. This work is constituted as a qualitative bibliographical research with an autobiographical narrative character that led to some points of reflection, including: the knowledge derived from experience; self-portrait as a record; body image; and the influence of social violence on the body.
