which we also 'converse' quite a bit. Subjective opposites of these facades are present in the
most visible structure of Tourism (Baptista, 2021a).
This is also the tourism we reflect on, from what we mirror as a journey in our practices.
We emphasize here, in this sense, that we consider journeys (even abstract ones), as an inherent
trait of Tourism, which is, in turn, a deterritorializing and transversalizing movement generator
of life, of (self) transpoiesis. This perception provides an understanding of the significant
dimension that marked the development of the students and teachers who felt traversed in these
'conversed' encounters. We remind you that this aspect was felt not only in the experiences of
the project but also in subsequent developments in the classroom time.
The "Bar Conversation" represented, for learning, a feeling of belonging to
UNIRIO and to the Tourism Course of this university, which will never be
forgotten. A university where one dreams of studying, which is not always
welcome, and often when it does, segregates. This applies to learning as a
student, but also as a teacher. The drift of the trajectory makes one realize,
forever, that as a member of this academic community, one is in transit,
tourism, investigative journey, and a life journey that transcends the formal
aspects of teaching education in/of tourism itself. We are tourism
professionals, teachers, and students of UNIRIO [Research diary - experience
report, our translation].
Thus, it becomes clear that Tourism and Education can be perceived through the
ecosystemic weave of subjectivities, traversed in interactions marked by horizontality and
informality, expressed in the production of narratives and ‘com-versações’, in a condition of
“com-versa de bar”. There are several aspects present and appreciated in the meetings that can
be perceived. According to what we perceive with the “Com-versas de Bar”, the university
environment itself needs to be expanded, not only as a place to be visited, a 'Tourism'
environment, in the sense of those coming from outside, but as a leisure environment of the
community itself, in such a way as to become the territory of that community.
We speak here, directly, of the university environments, but also of the knowledge
environments, which can be expanded in conditions generated by “Com-versas de Bar” in
expanded spontaneous conversation circles with the community, making Science, Knowledge,
Tourism, and the University existential universes rethought and reinvented, precisely by the
transversalizations and beauty of encounters of subjective multiplicities. In Brazilian
Education, the process of curricularization of Extension, which has been implemented, brings
an important discussion in this sense. Extension activities are fundamental to realizing the very
sense of existence of Universities. The discussion has been held, in this sense, in Amorcomtur!,
based on many texts and, especially, on Imperatore's thesis (2017).
