Interação e sala de aula

Abstract

This paper intends to discuss the notion of interaction in classroom context, in order to clarify our theoretical issues: we work in the complex field between theories of discourse and some concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. This theoretical choice will guide the analysis of some excerts from classroom and chats – part of semi-presential courses –, to be presented in a second moment. The extracts analysed testify the socially shared imaginary about the relationship between teacher and students: teacher commanding and ordering students and students obeying teacher. But we know that, today, in the “age of questionability” and of a pedagogy centered on affection and comprehension, the traditional interaction changes: several times, teachers, feeling uncertain, open the possibility of resistance of students who, empowered, assume the discursive position of teachers. This attitude comes from the transformation of the education in merchandise. Finally, will be analysed some excerts of textual productions of teachers, that point at the emergency of the unconscious. These texts show the difficulty to control the effects of one’s saying. So, it’s possible to conclude that we can speak about “action-between” (interaction) subjects, between subject and text, subject and language or knowledge, if, in this mutual action, we take into account the unexpected – in himself and in the other –, the mistake, the contradiction, the conflict, the tension as constitutive elements of the subject and any kind of intersubjects’ relationship.

Key words: interaction, classroom discourse, subjectivity, identity.
