BAPTISTA, Anderson José Lisboa. Autonomy in times of flexible capitalism: an approach from Paulo Freire. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2017, vol.42, n.1, pp.122-139. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.5216/ia.v42i1.44060.

The article reflects on the category autonomy in Paulo Freire, its relevance and applicability in the current stage of capitalist society. It is a theoretical approach that in the first moment discusses the concept of character corrosion (SENNET, 2014) in the context of flexible capitalism. Then, it presents the concept of autonomy in Freire (2008, 2014a and 2014b) based on other postulates of his theory. At the end, it indicates counterpoints between the logic of the society of flexible capitalism, the corrosion of character and the Freirean conception of autonomy. Among the results, the autonomy in Freire as a humanizing proposal stands out, which rescues the sense of authorship and opposes the inhumane process that governs the current capitalist society.

Palabras clave : Autonomy; Authorship; Character Corrosion; Incompleteness.
