Abstract

KOHAN, Walter Omar. Among us, in defense of a school. ETD [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.4, pp.590-606. ISSN 1676-2592.  https://doi.org/10.20396/etd.v19i4.8648631.

In this text, I try to clarify some aspects of the defense of the school undertaken by J. Masschelein and M. Simons in In defense of the school, as well as to incorporate some elements from another tradition, the popular school of Simón Rodríguez. The broader aim is to strengthen the problematizing effects of the theses of the Belgian authors and make them even more resounding for our context. For this, in the "Presentation" I place the importance of this debate in the current scenario of Brazilian education. In "In defense of the school" I present the main theses of the book as well as the specific character of the proposal of the Belgian authors concerning the relations between school and politics. In "In defense of defense: a political vision?" I contextualize the main authors who have influenced the work of J. Masschelein and M. Simons and detail the specific way in which it would stand in opposition to proposals like "School without Party" that synthesizes the actual Education Policy of the Brazilian Government. In "The invention of a school between us" I introduce some elements of the proposal of the popular school of Simón Rodríguez, in particular its emphasis in invention and attention. Finally, in “Final Considerations” I bring the idea of “errantry” in the affirmation of a school between us inspired by M. Serres, Le Tiers-Instruit.
