The Illusion of the Individual: uma experiência a partir da sala da aula

This will be a discussion on theory and literature, looking for texts and artistic materials that experiment with forms of collective cognition. The
presentation will center on the assignments students produce collectively, in which they gathered interviews, film, photographs and text, and aims to discuss pedagogical practices at the graduate and undergraduate levels too.
