REFLECTIONS FROM A "THIRD AGE" MARRIAGE: PAULO FREIRE'S PEDAGOGY OF REASON, HOPE AND PASSION AN INTERVIEW WITH ANA MARIA (NITA) FREIRE
Abstract
ABSTRACT. In an interview with Carmel Borg and Peter Mayo of the University of Malta, Ana Maria (Nita) Freire, Paulo Freire's widow, sheds light on some of Freire's concerns during the later stages of his life. She comments on the extent to which those who read him only in translation miss some of the finer points of his very evocative writing in which reason and emotion are combined. The interview also tells us something about Nita Freire, an accomplished scholar in her own right. RÉSUMÉ. Dans une entrevue accordée à Carmel Borg et Peter Mayo de l'Université de Malte, Anna Maria (Nita) Freire, veuve de Paulo Freire, jette de la lumière sur les préoccupations de son mari durant la dernière partie de sa vie et fait remarquer que ceux qui le lisent en traduction ne peuvent apprécier toutes les subtilités de son écriture très évocative qui s'adresse tout autant à la raison qu'aux émotions. L'entrevue permet également de mieux connaître Nita Freire, qui est elle-même une femme d'une grande culture.Downloads
