Diversidade do povo gaúcho: a transversalidade na busca pela interdisciplinaridade

Abstract

This work has the purpose of discuss the interdisciplinarity, taking the diversity of the people from the state of Rio Grande do Sul as a crosscutting theme. From theoretical assumptions of Ivani Fazenda, Hilton Japiassú and Edgar Morin, it conceptualizes and develops the interdisciplinarity theme, specially on three aspects: academic formation, research and teaching practice. On the other hand, the transversality is conceptualized by the presentation of the crosscutting themes, contained at the national curricular parameters and is crafted as a device to get to a possibility of a interdisciplinary approach on a particular thematic. Culminating with the issue about the "gaúcho" people, the definition of Diversity is built based on the references of Phillipe Perrenoud, permeated by the concepts of Exclusion and Inequality, grounded, specially, on thoughts of Boaventura de Souza Santos and others. The considerations about the history of Rio Grande do Sul are to justify the exclusion of black, indian and the platinum gaucho from the traditionalist culture. This research concludes that interdisciplinary approaches are more easily achieved when an object of investigation is crossed by a crosscutting theme.
