The IV CIPA takes the (auto)biographic adventure further, as it started at the first meeting (Porto Alegre, 2004), and keeps the interest in the processes of subject construction (as individuals and collective beings), translated by several types of inventions of oneself, in the perspective of the second congress (Salvador, 2006). Education, territories and knowledge was the theme of the third meeting (Natal, 2008) and it guided the analysis of the ways of knowledge allowed by the (auto) biographic initiatives. The 2010 CIPA (São Paulo) has as it goal to explore the potentiality of the place instituted by (auto)biographic studies and by the subjective and intellectual space of production of (auto)biographical actions. Conceived in their socio-historical dimensions, as well as the psychological and aesthetic, the arts of living, knowing and educating will guide the development of the studies and interchanges of the IV CIPA.
