Being a teacher: Representations and identities in the context of visual culture

Abstract

The theme of this reflection is the deconstruction of a pattern that regulates the professor be artifacts from the visual culture of an institution of higher education. So, were used as a data source interviews with teachers the newly entering as employees at the Federal University of Goiás - UFG, which I include myself both as researcher and as respondent, and as new entrant in the same institution. For all I was asked "Do you consider yourself an educator?"; as a second source, we analyzed the Journal UFG in its commemorative 50th edition, searching from the photographs of his teachers, as the institution constructs representations of them. As a result, the analyzes will be presented dialogued with bibliographical references aiming to understand how some representations of what being a university professor teaching practice interfere with the researcher.
