Fanzine workshop and extension in educational contexts:

actions for the expression of subjectivities and the facilitation of conscientization

Abstract

The aim of this article is to share the experiences and reflections arising from the construction and facilitation of fanzine workshops in educational contexts. The workshops were held in two public schools, one of which was an elementary school and the other a high school; and in a higher education institution, also public. To develop the work, we used the perspective of research in the form of an experience report, based on the authors' experiences recorded in field diaries, written after the actions carried out. Content Analysis was used as a tool for systematizing and analyzing the information in the field diaries and in the materials produced in the fanzine workshops, which resulted in the delineation of four categories of discussion, namely: I) Fanzines in Primary School and the Culture of Peace; II) Fanzines in Secondary School and the view on Education; III) Fanzines in Higher Education and Resistance; IV) Fanzine Workshop and University Extension in the Training of Facilitators. It is considered that the activities developed by the extension workers in the educational sphere provided critical reflections on the participants' reality, which is crossed by ethical-political suffering, and testified to the relevance of fanzine production as a tool for generating conscientization.
