Abstract

This dissertation has three main parts with the tittles 'the epistemological work', 'the methodological work' and 'the argumentative work'. The scientific spirit guiding the connections between these parts is based in an understanding in which knowledge is constructed by the dialogue among different knowings, with a special emphasis on the borders between 'art' and 'science' in approaching the phenomenon 'relationship with writing'. Overall, this dissertation tries to witness the subjective experience of writing, and the measure in which it constitutes a nexus of lifelong learning, given its formal and non-formal educational features. Following the perspective of the questions the writers pose as agents producing literary and educational field, the 'relationship with writing' is here thought as a space where the phenomenon of education and the life of the subject can be meaningfully connected.
