A Way of Existing in Teaching

Abstract

This text aims to show the legacy of Sandra Mara Corazza (SMC) regarding her teaching life. It begins with an argument on teaching, as a way of existing. Then, it considers what SMC’s way of existing as a teacher consisted of: the creation of concepts/notions, gesturalities, thought movements in her classes, and the traces inscribed in those who met her. Throughout the text, excerpts from the author’s writings are evoked as testimony to her ideas and new ways of experiencing teaching. The text as a whole show SMC’’s undeniable will to shuffle canons and give teaching a creative, translating, and transcreating way of existing.
