The present article is based on the premise that Pedagogy, as a theoretical-practical field, produces several statements to signify pedagogical practices inside schools, since Modernity. The Modern legacy of forming the "educated subject" faces difficulties in the practical conditions of its accomplishment, in the face of the postmodern scenario, that has put in check metaphysics, the great narratives, the idea of unity and universality, and the notion of the individual. Faced with the announcement of the death of metaphysics and the death of the individual, Postmodernism would also represent the death of Pedagogy, since the latter succumbs to the categories that are in its very foundation. The present bibliographical study systematizes arguments to characterize such social and cultural scenario, recognized as postmodern, and to reflect how Pedagogy may face both relativism and the lack of expectations regarding future, typical of this moment, as it is confronted with the need to continue generating speeches that can support school pedagogical practices. The argument seeks to offer theoretical resources from a non-nihilistic perspective of the postmodern, and bets on the preservation and renewal, although on a less secure basis, of the pedagogical potential of the modern tradition, as a way of giving meaning to school pedagogical practices.
