ABSTRACT:
This article proposes to reflect upon the process of individuation in teacher education, broadening the view on processes which permeate teacher training, often legitimized by ways of being that delimit a "form". This reflection is mainly based on the theoretical dialogue between the writer Mia Couto and the philosopher Gilbert Simondon, aiming to highlight the operation of individuation that deals with other times and formative spaces. Observing individuation through dialoguing with literature allows us to realize the processuality of the living subject, in their character of incompleteness, and of our endless individuations, performed by the affective domain. Mia Couto, through his literary writings, illustrates the non-identity of Simondon and how we access the world (and are accessed by it) when we get rid of defined and determined ways of being. Thus, we deconstruct the individual that is taken as a finished entity and provoke the emergence of the subject in co-existence with the world.
