FAVAL, Gabriela Costa  and  OLIVEIRA, Ivanilde Apoluceno de. PAULO FREIRE: CONTRADISCOURSE AND PRACTICE OF RESISTANCE TO NEOCONSERVATISM IN THE BRAZILIAN POLITICAL AND EDUCATIONAL SCENARIO. Eccos Rev. Cient. [online]. 2021, n.57, e15407.  Epub Feb 05, 2024. ISSN 1983-9278.  https://doi.org/10.5585/eccos.n57.15407.

Freire's thinking and acting become, once again, the target of discourses that, far from neutrality, are aimed at silencing educators and directing educational practices towards a distance from democracy and the criticality of teaching, so it is necessary to clarify the educational thought, from the perspective of a resistance discourse, highlighting its importance in Brazilian education. The guiding question of this article is: what are the reasons for Paulo Freire being the target of persecution and criticism in the current political context? The objective is to analyze, in the current Brazilian conjuncture, Paulo Freire's thought as a counter-discourse of confrontation and resistance, against the attacks on his person and educational proposal, clarifying his educational assumptions, refuting the unfounded criticism and pointing out its importance in the educational scenario Brazilian. It consists of a bibliographical research that involves Paulo Freire's productions, but also results of research on Freire's education. It highlights the humanist and ethical-political character of Paulo Freire's education, which cannot be thought of as a neutral field, nor confused with mere party indoctrination, and presents the importance of Freire's education in Brazilian education.

Keywords : resistance counter-discourse; neo-conversationalism; Paulo Freire..
