Abstract

In this article, we propose to think about the school as a public and democratic space based on participant observation research carried out in a public school in Rio de Janeiro that, affectionately called Mariana, also names its workers as such. The construction of this Mariana community is comprehended through the concept of commoning, a process which enables us to inhabit the world and grow with and in the presence of others. Marianas’ work allows us to think about how the movements of commoning take place through minor gestures, which can, in the gaps, carry out transgressions, thus producing powerful ways of experiencing education. Those concepts are looked upon intertwined with experiences such as the weekly assemblies and a project that pursued the care of oneself, for others and for the planet. It is, therefore, this minor education and its movements of responding and corresponding that interest us.
