CANARIO, Rui. Movimentos sociais e educação popular: lutas nas empresas, em Portugal, após o 25 de Abril. Perspectiva [online]. 2008, vol.26, n.01, pp.19-39. ISSN 0102-5473.

Using as an empirical reference the workers strike movement in the first half of 1974 in the industrial belt of Lisbon, before and immediately after the defeat of the fascist dictatorship, on April 25,1974, this paper seeks to reveal the educational potential of this autonomous social movement. It discusses the relationship between collective lessons realized in the realm of processes that established social change and the role of the State in these processes. In a broad theoretical framework, it analyzes the concept of emancipatory education. A clarification of this concept is understood to be essential to overcome a cur-rent critical disarmament in face of the logic of capital. The paper analyzes and deconstructs a vision of social conflict the 20th century, reduced to a dichotomy between two camps: capitalism and state capitalism. It is based on the supposition that all social actions and relations are infused with an educational dimension, which is an expression of politics and power relations.

Palabras clave : Popular Education; Social Movements.
