Description
Summary:Education is a fundamental right of citizens. To guarantee this right, legislation was implemented so disabled students could access and remain in schools. This movement was called inclusion. Despite the legislation established, many students have suffered from pseudoinclusion, because despite them having physical access to the school, the welcoming that promotes the feeling of belonging to the group is non-existent. The objective of this text is to make known the concept of 'lesser inclusion' inspired by reading Deleuze and Guattari’s 'Kafka: Toward a Minor Literature'. Two interviews were conducted - with a principal and a teacher - as well as a conversation with a group of first-grade children. The results are presented as experiences, in which inclusion is part of the pedagogical philosophy and life of the school community. Finally, lesser inclusion is conceptualized as that which occurs in the difference that differentiates itself without legal impositions as the motivation.
