Vidas secas ou secas vidas? O cotidiano familiar e educacional em meio à pobreza

Abstract

The current study discusses common educational behavior - in the way of life situations around hunger, misery and poverty - as found in the classic work "Vidas Secas" from Graciliano Ramos. The main objective is to establish discussion and reflection about the dynamic of the marginalized family presented to us in the book "Vidas Secas", especially for being highly suffused with Educational issues. To study the book is also to investigate a historical coexistence with marginalization (Thompson, 7992; e Halbwachs, 2004), typically faced by North-Eastern families, inflicted by the social institutions and perpetuated for generations. The emotive aspects between the family members, dialogs and relationships in the family and with others in the same economic situation, their belieis and the possibilities of changing their social environment are related with general Educational themes.
