A Geometric As A Carrier Bag Of Fiction

Abstract

In this essay, we fable an geometry as a carrier bag of fiction. It is not a search for explanations and possibilities of institutionalized geometries for mathematics teacher education or for the mathematics school classroom. It is about tasting things, life stories, concepts, ideas, geometric inventions, when it is placed inside a carrier bag, in an inventive movement, in an attempt to operate helplessness. Then, we go through some investigation works that invent geometries, use works of art and make use of headlines as modes of possibilities and transfigurations of our gaze and our body. We also flirt with the geography of maps, with which we destabilize geometric colonialities. In a Circuit of Affections, data were collected through helplessness in the face of geometric educations and placed in our fiction bag. Among visualities, decrystallizations and map productions, we invented (always in a draft) a scholarship geometry that presents itself as a possibility to inhabit professional practices of math educators, from Kindergarten to Graduate courses. Thus, a geometry as a carrier bag of fiction happens in a possibility of other schools, having the helplessness as constitutive of a political project.
