SCHLESENER, Anita Helena. Academic language and education: a field of disputes and consolidation of hegemony. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2021, vol.37, e82175.  Epub 26-Out-2021. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-4060.82175.

This article returns to some aspects of critical writings: the question about language and its political and pedagogical meaning is important based on the understanding that language, from a critical viewpoint, has a political and metaphorical dimension and which, as such, is translatable, enabling forms of knowledge to relate with each other and also with reality as it is lived. At the same time, due to its political dimension, it becomes an important instrument for consolidating hegemony. Language is a vital element in this process and Universities, both within themselves and when exercising academic language, have the fundamental task of nurturing the hegemonic process through the activity of intellectuals and their training for positions in the productive, political and cultural structure in the sense of preserving social order. Education becomes a mediator in the movement to overcome the dominant ideological horizon to the extent that it enables access to the context of training, as well as access to questioning and renewing language.

Palavras-chave : Hegemony; Ideology; Education; Academic language; Politics.
