This dissertation - founded on the narratives extracted from the journal of a class in the learning process of reading and writing, and which was written from February through December 1999 - will be taken as an empiric basis for research, as it enables the analysis of cultural practices and interactions among the different characters, which constitute the school universe. Mikhail Mikhailovitc Bakhtin´s architecture - knowledge, ethics and esthetics - assists in the reflection of the journal compositional texture. Exotopia, alterity, dialogism, polyphony, enunciation, active responsive attitude, are just few of Bakhtin´s concepts that were brought to the text centrality. The first chapter´s main focus is the autobiography production - memories, journals, life-based stories - within a broader context in society. It also emphasizes the teacher´s authorship of the journal, as a tool for experiencing, critically thinking and reorganizing the practical aspects of life. The second chapter describes ways and hallmarks, which have contributed to the author´s professional choice. It also critically discusses cultural experiences in learning a written language, while facing the dilemmas and contradictions that are inherent to the pedagogic action. The third chapter is a deeper dive into the texture of the class journal. By questioning certain issues from four big enunciative streams - the speech of learning-in-process children, teachers, families and school - it underlines the role of each character in the identity world and subjectiveness, intertwined by the collective relational dynamics of the school daily routine.
