Abstract

PITANO, Sandro de Castro. The problematizing education of Paulo Freire, a pedagogy of the social subject. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2017, vol.42, n.1, pp.87-104. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.5216/ia.v42i1.43774.

The article presents the results of a bibliographical study on the thought of Paulo Freire, based on the assumption that he considers the social subject as an educational/formative horizon. It aims at identifying and defining, from Freire’s writings, a concept of social subject in tune with the political and pedagogical principles of popular education. The bibliographical analysis emphasized the following works: Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Conscientization, Education: Dialogue and Conflict, Politics and Education, Pedagogy of Hope and Pedagogy of Indignation. By deepening the study of core categories such as awareness and dialogue, it was possible to identify and characterize a concept of social subject in Freire’s pedagogy, setting an educational/ formative horizon in line with the foundations and ideals of popular education.

Keywords : Paulo Freire; Problem-posing Education; Popular Education; Social Subject.
