Globalisation is a contested concept and therefore refers to contradictory social processes. Additionally, immigration is established alongside the dualities of globalisation and ghettoisation. This paper is theoretically driven by doctoral research data and aims to present concerns and possibilities for critical mathematics education regarding immigrants in the context of the challenges posed by globalisation and ghettoisation in a world impacted by socially and racially structured injustices. The following topics will be addressed: (1) Firstly, I will clarify what this paper refers (...) to regarding globalisation and ghettoisation and discuss how these concepts relate to mathematics education and immigrant students. (2) Next, I will present the participants' reports in the voices of mathematics teachers from schools with immigrant students in São Paulo, Brazil. (3) Following this, I will engage in a theoretical discussion on "meeting amongst differences" in mathematics classes with immigrant students. (4) Finally, I will explore, through Pedagogical Imagination, the hypothetical project "Ghettoisation—Is Racism a Factor?" as a possibility, considering the reality of immigrant students in developing spaces for meeting to overcome the distances created by ghettoisation.

This article aims to propose some connections between the conceptions of poetry of the Mexican poet Octavio Paz and the German philosopher Martin Heidegger. Both see in poetry the element of recognition of the original condition of the human being, not as an interpretation, but as a perception and affectation of the existential reality of human beings. So that the event of the "poetic saying" is configured as a call to the possibility of glimpsing the being of each entity, inhabiting (...) oneself and, thus, learning to be with others, establishing the poetic field as the clearing of perception and of existential affectation. Poetic speech goes beyond the limits of language, creating and establishing meanings and representations to the affectations that poetry provides. Thus, through poetry man recognizes himself in his worldliness, in search of his own being and in his relationship with other beings. (shrink)
