Abstract

FREIRE, NITA. THE LEGACY OF PAULO FREIRE’S WORK FOR GLOBAL COUNTER HEGEMONIC EDUCATION. Educ. rev. [online]. 2019, vol.35, e218004.  Epub May 15, 2019. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698218004.

The author explicitly takes to herself, in this paper, the concept of hegemony from Antonio Gramsci’s perspective. It discusses hegemonic education and counter hegemonic education. It points out the substantive difference between one and the other which are antagonistic understandings. She claims that Paulo Freire in his pedagogy or understanding of ethical-aesthetic-anthropological-political education conceived a counter hegemonic education. The author concludes that Freire’s pedagogical work channels its principles, concepts, relations, practice and praxis towards a counter hegemonic education since its origin. Freire’s work is radically opposed to the dominant interests, and in any of the spheres of social life in favor of the subortinated, dominated sectors.

Keywords : Paulo Freire; Education; Hegemony; Praxis.
