The Ethical Dimension of Creative and Collective Insubordination: A Philosophical incursion in Mathematics Education

Resumo

The present article seeks to develop theoretically the concept of creative insubordination as an ethical act, establishing the importance of the collective actions of the insubordination to the maintenance of their creations in defense of the oppressed and exploited. In this direction, we analyze three examples of creative and collective insubordinations seeking to show how they are characterized as ethical acts and the learning that we can get from them for our actions of insubordination. Thus, we analyze an experience of teachers who teach mathematics in a popular education project where these characteristics are present in collective planning, collective political action and resistance to social exclusion practices. Finally, we conclude that insubordination is only creative, and creations are insubordinate only if they are ethical acts: that is, collective.
