Writing is necessary: memories and stories from the book by professor Mario Osorio Marques

Abstract

We were in the year 1996, second class of The Graduate Program Education in the Sciences / PPGEC, Northwest Regional University of Rio Grande do Sul /UNIJUI, city of Ijuí/RG and, surrounded by many expectations and dreams that would transform the lives and paths of teachers and students, on the way and in the art of researching and being a researcher. Knowing, living, learning and sharing unique moments with professor Mario Osorio Marques, ”Our Giant", reminds us to highlight in this essay-memory the work Writing is Necessary: the principle of research, born in 1996 and first published in 1997, which illuminated the lives of two teachers and who transformed the learnings built at UNIJUI into fruitful itineraries in/by research, in the creation and composition of many writings, in the formation of a few hundred new researchers at the Federal University of Santa Maria/UFSM and at the State University of Bahia/UNEB. We highlight the resonances and recognition of the life and works of Mario Osorio from south to north of this immense country.
