COELHO, Allan da Silva. Legitimation theological of suffering as pedagogy: critical in Veena Das. Educação. Porto Alegre [online]. 2017, vol.40, n.1, pp.41-52. ISSN 1981-2582.  https://doi.org/10.15448/1981-2582.2017.1.22628.

To know divergent voices enlarges the horizons of understanding of the fundamentals of education. Our proposal is to understand the relationship that the Indian anthropologist Veena Das articulates between pedagogy and theodicies in social legitimacy of human suffering. How the theological legitimacy of suffering constitute pedagogic fundamentals of practices that educate the body and administer the sense of living in the framework of the capitalist ethos? For Das, a theodicy, as necessary suffering, displaced from the religious to the secular uses pain and suffering as a basis for Pedagogy. In Modernity, pain and suffering are played in the symbolic universe, the configuration and adherence to modern capitalist ethos, indicating the “way of being” normal as acceptance of a moral sense to the suffering and subordination in the face of laws and institutions. It is pedagogy for subalternizar, but not always resign. Sometimes in dispute of meanings, prepares a form of resistance facing the absurdity non-sense of pain.

Keywords : Suffering Pedagogy; Theological Legitimacy; Criticism of Modernity.
