This article discusses the potential and challenges of narrative research and its impact on teaching in basic education. The goal is to investigate how narrative inquiries can constitute an exercise in resistance to neoliberal governments of teacher training. The text is structured as a written conversation between a master's student and a M.Sc in a postgraduate research group in Education. The article reflects on the experience of a teacher, integrating it into a post-structuralist theoretical analysis that points out and/or inspires other paths in teacher training. It explores how storytelling and narrative practices can contribute to the creation of a more collaborative, creative and free pedagogical environment. Furthermore, the role of the teacher/researcher in the reconfiguration of subjectivities and educational practices is investigated, with a view to breaking with the traditional logic of knowledge transmission, which is vertical and rigid.
