Education of children and juveniles is a requirement to the human world perpetuation as it is. Without it, societies would find a hard time getting to the next generation. In that scenario, the role of the teacher is central, being a representative of all adult inhabitants. This research draws a dialog between Carl G. Jung´s Analytical Psychology, especially his understanding of education and the Master-Apprentice archetype, and Hannah Arendt´s reflections over the school´s compromise due to the world. By dragging theses authors together, seeks to understand how elementary school teachers give meaning to their very own experience nowadays and how they relate to the educational sphere. A total of six semi-structured interviews were made to Elementary School female teachers, being one of them from the public system. At the end of these interviews they were asked to draw something related to their profession. All data was analyzed using symbolic interaction approach. We noticed that education, as with other typical human situations, is conducted by a symbolic field: the Master-Apprentice. Moreover, we found four distinct archetypal polarities: Wounded-Healer, Puer-Senex, Narcissus-Echo and Sisyphus-Divine child. However, the importance of these polarities differs significantly; for example, Sisyphus symbolism is not so decisive. Data suggests that elementary school teachers are having difficulties to develop the right persona on work, which might be related their lacking of responsibility with the world and with the future generation, as Arendt pointed out. That alone might have negative impact on modern schools challenges. In addition, our research also observed that some teachers are able to move along the different polarities of the symbolic field of teacher-students relations, clearly understanding of their role in educational system, they find in their career impactful points on their own individuation, and they might create a proper learning-environment to their students.
A educação formal nas obras de Hannah Arendt e Carl. G. Jung: possíveis diálogos com a modernidade 1 Renata Fernandez Targino* ResumoO artigo busca, por meio de um levantamento teórico sobre as concepções de educação formal presentes na obra da filósofa Hannah Arendt e o do Psiquiatra Carl G. Jung, pai da Psicologia Analítica, refletir sobre os objetivos da Escola para tais autores e estabelecer algumas relações com jargões educacionais presentes atualmente tais como educar para mudar o mundo ou educar para o desenvolvimento de competências. Acredita-se que a Escola em nossa época acabou por deturpar seu compromisso em apresentar o mundo às novas gerações, além de ter lançado ao esquecimento sua importância social e psíquica em levar a criança do ambiente familiar para mundo público. Palavra chave: Educação Formal; Psicologia Analítica; Hannah Arendt. The Formal Education in Hannah Arendt and Carl. G. Jung: Possible dialogues with modernity AbstractThis article aims to discuss the concepts of formal education in the philosopher Hannah Arendt and the psychiatrist Carl G. Jung´s works. Beyond this discussion, this paper has the purpose of establishing some connections between these authors and bringing a critical view to some wellknown sentences in the educational area such as the importance of educating to change the world or the development of skills through education. That School in our days is believed to have lost its commitment to the introduction of the new generations into the world as well as to have forgotten the social and psychical importance at leading the children from the family atmosphere.
