Resumo No atual contexto de necropolítica (MBEMBE, 2016), em que a decisão de viver ou morrer está na mão de alguns, a educação tem um importante papel na constituição de espaços para a criação de possibilidades de futuro. Nessa direção, este artigo expõe as bases teóricas e a práxis do Multiletramento Engajado. Parte da apresentação da demanda por práticas pedagógicas que promovam o “bem viver” e, para isso, discute as bases freirianas e vygotskianas para entender as reformulações e as proposições implementadas na Pedagogia dos Multiletramentos como forma de criação do Multiletramento Engajado. Finaliza com a exemplificação de uma proposta didática realizada no Programa Digitmed e com considerações e caminhos a serem percorridos a partir dessa nova perspectiva na busca de possibilidades de superação da necropolítica por meio do engajamento de todos na compreensão e na transformação das condições de opressão.

This paper (i) presents the current globalized multicultural context, which supports the interest in the area, and relates its connection with bilingual education; (ii) discusses and problematizes bilingual education in Brazil from the perspective of applied linguistics and (iii) analyzes research and activities carried out in the Brazilian context. Having as a starting point Brazilian bilingual school curricula, texts taken from websites of bilingual schools, and materials related to these schools' language allocation provided by publishers, this study analyses the type of bilingualism aimed at these schools and the type of bilingual education implemented. We also analyzed the research conducted in the area through the abstracts from the communications presented in conferences, articles and thesis in which bilingual education was the theme to identify the conception used. We adopt the theoretical framework followed by applied linguists such as Abello-Contesse (2013), Hornberger (1991Hornberger ( , 2000, García (2009), and Wei (2014), which challenges monolingual conceptions of languages and monoglossic types of bilingual education. The results point to the fact that all the curricula and related materials analyzed from these schools reveal a monoglossic view of language. As for the research produced at universities, the vast majority of these productions have heteroglossic views of language as a theoretical background. Therefore, although heteroglossic views of language have been studied and discussed in the university, these discussions and findings are far from the reality of the schools in Brazil.Keywords: applied linguistics, bilingualism, elite bilingual education, heteroglossia, monoglossia ResumenVivimos un momento histórico en el que la superdiversidad crea una composición y abundancia de importantes variables que afectan dónde, cómo y con quién conviven las personas. En este escenario, el tema de la educación multilingüe en diferentes países se intensifica y la creación de escuelas bilingües de elite también. En el presente artículo (i) presentamos el contexto multicultural de globalización actual, compatible con el interés en la región, y una discusión de su conexión con la educación bilingüe; (ii) discutimos y problematizamos la educación bilingüe en Brasil desde la perspectiva de la lingüística aplicada y (iii) abordamos los enfoques de investigación y las actividades llevadas a cabo en el contexto brasileño, así como algunos investigadores e instituciones involucrados en el tema.

Resumo Este artigo discute a importância do conceito de perejivanie para repensar o desenvolvimento dos sujeitos como agentes transformadores, que possam desencadear mudanças no âmbito do coletivo. Para tal, entrelaça estudos sobre mobilidade e repertório, com base na Linguística Aplicada, ao conceito vigotskiano de perejivanie, com o intuito de expandir a compreensão de como se processa o desenvolvimento dos sujeitos. Assim, parte da construção de recursos semióticos reiteráveis, tendo em vista as perejivanie vividas e recuperadas como histórias invocadas para a construção de novas formas de ser e agir. Em contextos ensino-aprendizagem, esse conceito parece assumir um papel central.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore a formative intervention project that was developed for the Municipal Secretariat of Education in São Paulo, Brazil for the broad development of all levels of educational management (teacher educators, coordinators, principals, teachers and students). Thus, the creative chain of activities is a key theoretical framework for promoting critical collaboration in order to cross the boundaries of educational management organization. Design/methodology/approach The authors use data from the Management in Creative Chains Project (Liberali, 2012), as a way to enable the wide development of all levels of educational management. Data comprise formative meetings in which different educational managers system take part in two settings, the regional board with 25 schools and one of the participating schools. The analysis is based on thematic content and argumentative organization, and on critical situations and the potentials they entailed. Findings The study guides to the conclusions of the process of creative chain as a possibility to expand management in the educational system and its community. Research limitations/implications Every time there is a change in the mayors, there are changes in the way of addressing school management in the city. However, after the project, considerations about the needs of the communities became part of the public policy regardless of who is in charge of the city and its educational system. Practical implications This study can be used for transformation in the management and teaching and learning activities and improvement of the school-community relation. Social implications Socially this study can lead to improvement in the quality of life in the community and at school. Originality/value Differently from a top down educational management, which enables a reproductive chain, educational management in a creative chain, considering the community needs, enables subjects to become interdependent to expand and transform the activities in the educational system and hence the communities’ reality.
