SCHLESENER, Anita Helena. Education and language: notes on learning and reality. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2024, vol.19, e23151. Epub June 18, 2024. ISSN 1809-4309. https://doi.org/10.5212/praxeduc.v.19.23151.049.
In this paper, the objective was to develop some reflections on the ongoing changes and the new challenges that arise in the process of academic training in the appropriation of reading and interpretation of classic texts and their importance for understanding reality in its movement, assuming that language is metaphorical and political. From this perspective, the methodological assumptions are based on the historical materialism, from Marx, Gramsci and theorists from the Frankfurt’ School. Some research methods that make up the ideological horizon of those who write and those who read are discussed. Next, some notes on the possibilities for the theory to interrogate the effective reality follow, starting from the meaning of reading and interpreting the writing, comparing it with the reading of the world, which again implies learning about the author’s theoretical contribution. Based on these assumptions, the reflection falls on the relationship between language and education and the importance and possibilities of a theory enabling the understanding of reality.
