ALHEIT, Peter  and  HERNANDEZ-CARRERA, Rafael M.. La doble visión de la educación permanente: dos perspectivas analíticas. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2018, vol.24, e19170.  Epub Dec 21, 2018. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.26512/lc.v24i0.19170.

Over the last few years there has been a debate about the concept of lifelong learning. It has often been reduced in a functionalist way, although it should be more related to formal, non-formal and informal learning processes. We can see how education throughout life both instrumentalizes and emancipates at the same time, so we can approach this concept from a double perspective. The first focuses on exploiting economic and cultural resources in Western societies. The second is a vision more focused on the science of education, on individual social actors and their biographies. This paper focuses on the tensions between these two perspectives.

Keywords : lifelong learning; education throughout life; biography; adult education; continuing education.
