Motivated by finding myself inserted in an inclusive school environment, I aim to investigate the evaluative construction of emotions and stigmas in discursive practices about the inclusion of people with disabilities in educational settings. For this purpose, I count on the partnership of four collaborators, who teach in basic education and made time to talk about inclusion (Mantoan, 2015), bringing their personal and professional perspectives to this thesis. The interactions, recorded and transcribed with due ethical care, allowed Carol, Lívia, Rebeca, and Carla to share their understandings of the central theme of this study. To develop this investigation, the following specific objectives were proposed: (i) reflect on how participants construct and evaluate inclusion processes in their reports; (ii) investigate whether there is the presence of stigmas and how they are related or not to certain emotions; (iii) discursively analyze the attitudinal evaluative marks to map the lexico-grammatical choices that create meanings about the participants positions, and (iv) observe how the narratives align with macrosocial discourses about the inclusion of people with disabilities. Aligned with the qualitative paradigm (Denzin; Lincoln, 2006), the theoretical-methodological architecture is based on Critical Applied Linguistics (Moita Lopes et al., 2006), on the ethical and critical-reflexive principles of Exploratory Practice (Miller et al., 2008), on studies of emotions (Le Breton, 2019) and stigmas (Goffman, 2004) as well as studies of narratives (Bastos, 2005). For the micro-discursive analysis, I used the Appraisal System (Martin; White, 2005), an integral component of Systemic-Functional Linguistics (Halliday, 1994), to categorize the implicit and explicit evaluations constructed in the interactions. The analysis of the exploratory conversations (Miller, 2001) was organized into three thematic blocks: (i) inclusion in educational contexts; (ii) inclusion as a facet of love-care-commitment, and (iii) inclusion of those on the margins. The interpretation and analysis of the conversations with the participants made it possible to understand that there is still work to be done in the field of continuing teacher education to interact with human diversity at schools and universities. In addition, from the analysis of the collaborators speech, I realized the need for more attention to accessibility issues, especially concerning attitudes involving ethical and moral principles. The lexico-grammatical and paralinguistic choices made by the participants during the conversations were permeated by emotions (frustration, displeasure, dissatisfaction, contentment etc.), by micropolitical power relations (who can include whom in the school context, who suffers and who resists) and by a vision of inclusion that corroborates education as a political act (Freire, 2019a). The teachers reports also point to the presence of stigmas in classroom situations and outside of it, such as negative judgments related to disability made by teachers and students. The reflections generated in the research contributed to expanding the understanding of inclusive practices in the contexts present in the conversations, enabling access to personal experiences that integrate broader contexts.
