Cotidianos sonoros na constituição do habitus e do campo pedagógico musical: um estudo a partir dos relatos de vida de professores da UFC

Abstract

This present research [study] was developed in the ambit of the Musical Education, uniting thus in its discussion these two fields: the musical and the educational. It shows a ponderation on the musical education in Brazil focused in the formation of the musical educator. In this interrelation, education and music, it was sought to understand how some professors/teachers of a musical academic course became educators in this field taking an account their life trajectories. In this manner, the objective of this study is to find out the process of the building of the hábitus and the pedagogical-musical field in the trajectories of a group of professors of the Musical Education Course of Federal University of Ceará. The theoritical support of this paper is the Praxiology or the Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of the social structures, which tries to unfold which is beneath the phenomena and social manifestations. This approach has proved to be of great value because it seeks, through the interaction between the agents(individuals and groups) and the institutions, to acheive the historical structure that has influenced greatly the thoughts and actions. The bibliography available on this theme has showed the musical field as an area of knowledge(SOUZA, 1996, 2001a, 2001b and DEL BEM 2001, 2003); as an enviroment of local relations,(BOZON, 2000) and the musical field of Fortaleza from the 1950’s(MATTOS, 2007 and SCHRADER, 2002). Therefore this research has proved to be of great importance because it fills a gap that exists in the literature available, once it takes in consideration the social context of the musical education course of the Federal University of Ceará. This fact is explained by emphasis put on a context of discussions not elucidated so far related to the late emerging of this agent[musical educator] in the musical arena of Fortaleza. This investigation has used procedures indicated in the approach of the quality research because its major concern is focused more in the process than in the results itself and for the researcher considerated the “meaning” people give to things and to their lives points of special attention(LUDKE and ANDRÉ, 1986). So the narrative interviews of the life stories were the elements of data gathering. A diary camp and a tape-recorder were used as devices of registration. The research shows that the subjects were formed in diverse places, time and contexts. It was observed that this formation of the being does not happen based on great happenings or was shaped as a result of great rupture and revolutions. It emerges in a subtle form from the daily experiences that the agents lived in their own stories. It begins in the familiar circle, in a basic process of social relation, and provides the support to the subsequent experiences, verified in the ambit of school learning. From these experiences, a great number of mechanisms that have already been manifested as expressions of cultural achievements like habits, beliefs, behaviors, values, institutions and moral rules are built. In this sense, the habitus became very similar to the culture and the way that they[the agents] were assuming these cultural components has mold the subtle nuances of a cognitive, social and spatial/corporeal shaped in the context of theirs trajectories
