Educação Popular e Estado no Brasil: análise do Marco de Referência da Educação Popular para as Políticas Públicas

Abstract

This master's thesis focuses on the history of the popular education movement in contemporary Brazil and its relationship with the state. In the introduction to our work, we present the used theoretical framework, with references to the concepts of State and Hegemony, the philosopher Antonio Gramsci, as well as the understanding of the procedural development of history and the making of it by its own agents, as Edward P. Thompson presents. In the first chapter, with the turning of the 1950s to the 1960s as a starting point, we continued making a general analysis of the circumstances of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s until we reached the 2000s, a period in which the Marco Reference for Popular Education for Public Policies, our main object of study, is inserted. The referenced document, which started its construction processes in 2003, was published in 2014. In the second chapter, we deal with the analysis of the mentioned document, from its description, the analysis of its main agents , its epistemological bases and the principles and guidelines presented by them. At the end, we address our final considerations regarding this process, pointing out its possibilities and limits.
