FABIANO, Luiz Hermenegildo  and  SILVA, Franciele Alves da. Massificação cultural, práticas educativas e autonomia social. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.37, pp.1065-1084. ISSN 1981-416X.

The cut proposed by this study examines essential aspects of the cultural formation constituted by the logics of late capitalism. The incorporation of values and ideological naturalization of social regression derive from this context. The theoretical and methodological principles of Critical Theory, developed by the Frankfurt School thinkers, especially the contributions of Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer support this line of analysis. Such approach focuses on technical dominant rationality in the context of industrial society and its implications on the social consciousness constitution. In this historical moment, in which the media have also assumed a formative role in society, it is essential and urgent to discuss the influence of cultural industry in the educational processes. As a result, social relations guided by industrial logics appears to be a relevant theme to teachers training, whose practice is daily influenced by the mass process which results from this type of material production. The focus of the proposed analysis provides a theoretical instrumentation that enables the reflection to interfere in the conventions that naturalize the ideological model of the existing social organization. The reflection in this sense becomes educational practice acting critically on the formation and cultural commitment of contemporary society.

Keywords : Cultural Formation; Educational Practices; Critical Theory.
