Abstract

OLIVEIRA MAGALHAES, Victor Hugo. Epistemology, emancipation and education in adornian and decolonial perspective: possible intersections. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2021, vol.27, e37539.  Epub July 07, 2021. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.26512/lc27202137539.

This article touches on the convergences and divergences between some of the ideas by the critical theorist Theodor Adorno and by decolonial thinkers. It also intends to examine how this encounter houses the concept of emancipatory education. Along the text, an overview of the central concepts by Adorno will be put into dialog with ones by decolonial thinkers, focusing on ideas of epistemology, emancipation and education. With this, we expect to understand in what Adorno corroborates decoloniality, in what the latter helps to reexamine in the works of the German philosopher and, ultimately, catch a glimpse at the project of an emancipatory education with elements from both sources.

Keywords : Critical theory; Decoloniality; Epistemology; Emancipation; Education.
