BRANDAO, Carlos Rodrigues  and  VASCONCELOS, Valéria. Between the origins and now: popular education memories and paths. Rev. Reflex [online]. 2021, vol.29, n.2, pp.10-24.  Epub Sep 18, 2023. ISSN 1982-9949.  https://doi.org/10.17058/rea.v29i2.16088.

The main objective of this essay was to investigate, when “education” is finally signed as, “popular”. It’s presented a brief history seeking to reveal that Popular Education, among other double words, will gain the same meaning that will accompany Paulo Freire's work: to think and practice education as culture; to think and practice culture as politics; to think and practice politics as liberation, as emancipation and, ultimately, as revolution. Educators are always becoming what they should become. And this crossing, which suggests a mutation, is what also characterizes the course of Popular Education. In a world in which military dictatorships have been replaced by systems of colonization and hegemony imposed by the diffuse power of capitalism, several theories and practices that associate the adjective “popular” with other words seem to be as current and as present as in the 1960s.

Keywords : Popular Education; Paulo Freire; Pedagogy of the Oppressed.
