El artículo analiza la contribución de José Martí y Paulo Freire en la constitución de un imaginario pedagógico latinoamericano. Se destacan tres aspectos: a) América Latina como lugar de elaboración pedagógica, que tiene, en estos dos intelectuales, ideas que soportan esta propuesta; b) la cuestión de la contemporaneidad de la educación en América...
O artigo, derivado da experiência de pesquisa do autor e de avaliações de trabalhos de pesquisa na educação popular, propõe a discussão de critérios de qualidade e validade das metodologias participativas, as quais, desde sua origem na América Latina, apresentam importantes afinidades com a educação popular. São discutidos, na ótica das metodologia...

The purpose of this paper is to identify the presence of emotions in the constitution of popular education in Latin America, thus contributing to understand popular education as a thinking-feeling practice. It starts from the assumption that emotions are also historical and cultural expressions that mark societies and their understanding of educati...
O texto propõe-se a refletir sobre o legado de Paulo Freire e a sua contribuição para a educação contemporânea. São identificados quatro elementos da pedagogia freireana que são de especial relevância na pedagogia atual: a) a recriação e o cultivo do pensamento utópico; b) a radicalidade como base da ação ético-pedagógica; c) o diálogo como princíp...
The argument in this paper is that action and participatory research developed within the context of social and political movements aimed at promoting democratic relationships and institutions represents a methodological strategy for deconstructing and reconstructing the hegemonic perspective of knowledge and knowledge production. After a brief ref...
The subject of this interview is the research on ecological rationality carried out at the Max-Planck Instuitute for Human Development, in Berlin, and its implications for education, especially for citizenship education. The studies on ecological rationality focus on the processes of decision making in a world in which human activity happens in a c...

O texto tem como premissa que a realidade social – como fenomeno multifacetado e em movimento – exige uma abordagem metodologica que permite identificar o objeto de investigacao na tensao entre totalidade e especificidade. O conceito “convergencias disciplinares”, emprestado de Orlando Fals Borda, sugere o encontro de disciplinas e de saberes nao-d...
The experience of participatory budgeting that began in Porto Alegre in 1989 was carried over to the state level in Rio Grande do Sul in 1999. Since then, governments have tried out different modes of popular participation and consultation, culminating with the creation of a system of popular and citizen participation where participatory budgeting...
Der Autor geht in seinem Beitrag davon aus, dass die soziale Realität – als Phänomen, das viele Facetten hat und ständig in Bewegung ist, – nach einer methodologischen Herangehensweise verlangt, die es möglich macht, das Forschungsobjekt im Spannungsfeld von Gesamtheit und Spezifität zu identifizieren. Das Konzept der „disziplinären Konvergenzen“,...
This paper analyses the relation between popular education and Basic Education, focusing mainly on the impact of popular education research on policies and practices of basic education. Initially, a reflection is proposed about popular education as a field of research in which, from investigation and education practices, a methodological proposal w...
Participation has become a buzzword and lost much of its impact. Nevertheless, there are enough arguments to revisit the concept and its use in social research. One of them is that it is part of a tradition of action and participatory research which acquired specific features in different parts of the world. In Latin America it was, and still is, v...
The purpose of this essay, based on assumptions of Paulo Freire’s work, is to discuss Latin-American pedagogy and the production of knowledge from the perspective of the struggle to overcome pedagogical coloniality. The first part of the study is dedicated to situate the educational practices of emancipatory character in Latin America in the curren...
The purpose of the essay is to contribute for the present reflections on knowledge, considering the centrality of the theme in the organization of curricula in formal and non formal education. There is at the beginning a brief contextualization of the issue in the historical context, indicating important moments for the definitions which became heg...
This article seeks to clarify some epistemological aspects that ground an investigative action consistent with emancipatory education in Latin America. The background from which the knowledge and alternatives for the transformation of reality are drawn consists of discussions of coloniality. History reveals that, along with epistemic servility, the...
Popular education, as a historical development, accompanies the movement of society. Its origins in Latin America are strongly associated with popular social movements in the 1950ths and 1960ths. During this period, popular education has maintained some of its basic characteristics, but at the same time there have been significant epistemological,...
The article presents the experiences of a research group in South Brazil. The main purpose is to describe and reflect upon the process developed by a group which, while following quite independent paths, encounters in participatory action research the methodological basis for carrying out different projects. There are presented and discussed five d...
The article analyzes the double face of popular education in its relation with social movements in Latin America, functioning both as subsidiary and as their promoter. In this sense, one can say that popular education is the pedagogical expression of social movements and, as such, is an ally in the struggle for political and civil rights. At the sa...
Scene 1: In a seminar as part of the International Doctoral Program at the Siegen University in Germany, a group of German and Brazilian students had as a debate theme—globalization. Concerned that the linguistic factor might impede communication I proposed that, to initiate the reflection, each one of the participants write down some ideas about t...
I imagine that the title of Freire’s last book, Pedagogia da autonomia [Pedagogy of Autonomy], came as a surprise for many people. How can one speak of autonomy in the context of the theoretical efforts of the deconstruction of the modern subject, criticized by its abstract and instrumental rationality, for its essentiality, for its autonomy? Is th...
Up to here we have pointed out aspects of the construction of the pedagogy of the modern social contract, contrasting basically Rousseau’s and Paulo Freire’s ideas. There is a wide lapse of time between these two authors, which cannot be covered here. The basic argument in this book is that in Paulo Freire we have a reference for thinking about edu...
This dialogue, between a participant of a research team and a woman who was participating in an assembly of participatory budgeting in a city in southern Brazil, could have occurred any place in the nation or in Latin America. She is one of the people who, as we analyzed in the prior chapter, does not have a place in the social contract. “I am dumb...
Citizenship is only possible insofar as what is public exists as a space of collective construction, of common good. It is the conditions of citizenship that provide the measure of democracy. As Peter Burke reminds us, “Although citizenship need not entail democracy, democracy does entail citizenship; to assert this is to claim that the value of de...
It is appropriate that we reflect more specifically on the place and role of Latin America within the scenario presented in the previous chapter. As indicated in the subtitle, this reflection will take place within the perspective of popular education, a pedagogical movement constructed in Latin America during the second half of the past century an...
We have sought to show how education is part of this scenario in which life is developed in a double manner: it is conditioned by the power relations and makes this world work by training people to occupy various places in society, but it also carries a tradition of creating different scenarios. This dimension is often forgotten. Thus, for example,...
This question is, to a certain extent, inevitable and two-sided. On the one hand, it helps keep up a necessary level of practicality and opera-tionality in our reflections and discussions, and does not dichotomize theory and practice. On the other hand, it may also help activism to continue asphyxiating educational practice. Actually, theory and pr...
O artigo discute a situação de colonialidade e o papel da educação nos movimentos emancipatórios na América Latina. Entende-se que o pensamento de José Martí ocupa um lugar paradigmático para compreender os multifacetados processos de emancipação. Nesse estudo suas idéias serão postas em diálogo com outros pensadores latino- americanos, tais como S...
sempre se transformando. Isto é, o ato de saber tem historicidade, então o conhecimento de hoje sobre uma coisa não é necessariamente o mesmo de amanhã. O conhecimento transforma-se à medida que a realidade também se movimenta e se transforma. Então, a teoria também faz o mesmo. Não é algo estável, imobi-lizado. (Paulo Freire, em diálogo com Myles...
This paper analyzes some shifts in pedagogical practices that correspond to the conceptual changes that have occurred in the last four decades, more precisely since the pedagogy of the oppressed was formulated, at the end of 1960s. It proposes a brief review of social exclusion, especially in terms of its implications for educational practices and...
Palavras-chave Transformação social; pós-modernidade; utopia; dissenso. O artigo discute as possibilidades e os limites de uma pedagogia transformadora hoje. A reflexão inicia com uma tentativa de identificar algumas características da educação de nosso tempo. São destacados dois fatos como possíveis norteadores de um exercício de síntese: a chamad...
The article discusses possibilities and limits of a transforming pedagogy today. The reflection begins with an attempt to identify some characteristics of present day education. There are pointed out two facts that may be of particular importance for an exercise of synthesis: the so called crisis of utopias and the reconfiguration of spaces and tem...
The paper analyzes the construction of a pedagogical-investigative method, which has as its key element the development of strategies for overcoming inequalities in Latin American societies. Paulo Freire and Orlando Fals Borda, among others, provide elements for understanding the origins of a method which, in research, has a close relation to the e...
This article presents José Martí as a historical source of popular education in Latin America. It starts from the assumption that there can be no true re-foundation without the return to those founding moments, ideas or principles of popular education. After giving a brief account of Martí's work and thought, we characterize the concept of popular...
Este artigo apresenta uma leitura de José Martí como fonte histórica da educação popular na América Latina. Parte-se do pressuposto de que não pode haver uma verdadeira refundamentação sem o retorno àquilo que sejam momentos, idéias ou princípios fundantes da educação popular. Após situar brevemente o pensamento e a obra de José Martí, caracteriza-...

There was a moment in the recent history of Latin America1 that left a profound mark on society and the church in this part of the world. Various factors came together to give rise
to a movement that spread throughout the region, although with different degrees of intensity and distinct tones. This chapter
tries to apprehend and express some aspect...
The main purpose of this article is to situate popular education within the context of the reconstruction of the public sphere in Latin America. It is argued, after returning to the social and pedagogical locations where popular education originated, that a distinctive trait of popular education is the notion of search itself, in the same sense tha...
O artigo busca situar a educação popular no contexto da reconstrução da esfera pública na América Latina. A partir da volta às suas origens para identificar o lugar social e os espaços pedagógicos nos quais a educação popular se originou, argumenta que um traço distintivo dela é a própria busca, no mesmo sentido em que a identidade latino-americana...
This essay situates de reflection between the silencing and the emergences within Latin American pedagogy, having as reference the pedagogy of the Other (Paulo Freire), the sociology of absences and emergences (Boaventura de Sousa Santos) and the participatory processes geared towards emancipation. It is argued that in popular thinking there is a m...

The paper...
It is the dream that liberates. From everything: from the world, from others, from us. It is necessary to believe in the dream. And to save it always. In order to save ourselves. In order to leave the radiant face of our joy in the last wilderness, and in the last shadow, where other lives will come later and ask the things that we today are asking...
O trabalho pretende contribuir para a reflexão sobre o atual momento da teoria educacional, retomando para isso a leitura de Paulo Freire a partir de três imagens ou metáforas presentes em sua obra - a linha, a ruptura e a trama - e que indicam, ao mesmo tempo, a sensibilidade deste educador para novos momentos históricos e o aprofundamento de perc...
