This paper discusses the case of missing persons in Israel, to show how the category of “missingness” is constructed by the people who have been left behind, and how this may threaten the life-death dichotomy assumption. The field of missing persons in Israel is characterized not only by high uncertainty, but also by the absence of relevant cultural scripts. Based on a narrative ethnography of missingness in Israel, I claim that a new and subversive social category of “missingness” can be constructed following the absence of cultural scripts. The left-behinds fluctuate not only between different assumptions about the missing person’s fate; they also fluctuate between acceptance of the life-death dichotomy, thus yearning for a solution to a temporary in-between state, and blurring this dichotomy, and thus constructing “missingness” as a new stable and subversive ontological category. Under this category, new rites of passage are also negotiated and constructed.

This paper retraces the debates on life-histories before and after the linguistic turn in the social sciences, and, more specifically, in the anthropological tradition. It stresses how poststructuralist feminist methodological, theoretical, and political appropriations of personal narratives represent a significant textual intervention in the gendered social-cultural scripts of women’s lives.

Resumo A sala de aula é lugar de sentidos e significados que atravessam tudo aquilo que é social. É espaço onde se estabelece o diálogo com as coisas do mundo, com a dinâmica dos grupos, e com diversos fundamentos teóricos ligados a diferentes projetos, que vão desde a transformação dos sujeitos, por meio da educação, à transformação do mundo, através dos sujeitos educados. A partir de uma concepção de educação que reclama por um processo de “democratização da cultura”, buscou-se valorizar os roteiros culturais dos alunos do curso de formação de professores – Pedagogia da Terra/UFG. O foco central foi estimular, nos cursos de formação docente, a participação de alunos e professores no exercício da tolerância e coexistência de práticas que valorizem as diferenças culturais. A valorização da relação cultura-educação fez parte do processo, ajudou no exercício da coletividade, via emancipação e afirmação de direitos sociais, no entendimento e apropriação das demandas culturais dos estudantes ligados à Via Campesina.Palavras-chave: Relação Cultura-educação; Diferenças Culturais; Diversidade cultural. Teacher training: exercise of practices coexistence that value cultural differences AbstractThe classroom is a place of senses and meanings that cross everything that is social.
