REREADING AND SOCIAL INCLUSION

Abstract

The possible journey of cultural and creative education leads to a discussion of the policy of imprisonment under the law, which law is said to be equal for all and which establishes punishment and control as a means of normalizing behavior. The different senses derived from these multiple interpretations overlap each other, distance themselves from each other, or combine with each other, depending on the sensations of percepts and affects, by using concepts of social justice and peace in order to endorse social injustices, (re)classifying people for exclusion. Encouraging reading and writing in prisons has provided inmates a way to express their past – their stories that were not told during the legal proceedings because they were seen as irrelevant – a circumstance facilitating the germination of that which had been doomed to oblivion – the light of each human being on earth. In double authorship – of the crime and of the writing – the prisoner tends to write about himself, a writing for the other, as a space of rereading and of potentialities.

Key words: Prison, narratives, reading and writing, social inclusion.
