Relato de experiência com abordagem autobiográfica: percursos de uma artista e dançarina cega

Abstract

This work is an autobiographical research that aims to narrate my personal and artistic trajectory, reflecting on how my subjectivity was formed after being diagnosed with irreversible blindness, as well as the challenges I faced as a student in the Dance Degree Program at IFG – Câmpus Aparecida de Goiânia, seeking to articulate my personal, artistic, and academic experiences with the account of the experience of inclusion. The methodology used was autobiographical narrative, one of the approaches in qualitative research in education, which has the merit of valuing knowledge produced from concrete experience. The studies by Philippe Lejeune and Marie-Christine Josso provided the theoretical basis for my autobiographical research and gave me the resources to understand the importance of autobiographical research methodology in recognizing subjectivity as an integral part of the knowledge production process, thus breaking the classic separation between the subject and object of research. My narrative will be interspersed with theoretical reflections that dialogue with authors such as Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Michel Foucault, covering three axes that underpin my trajectory: the first marks the incursion into my inner self. I talk about my childhood, my foundations, my emotional support, and my encounter with art. In the second section, I narrate the experience of reinventing myself after being diagnosed with irreversible blindness. Finally, the third section reflects on the challenges and achievements during my degree in dance, and on the subjective, aesthetic, and inclusive implications of the disability that affected me.
