AQUINO, Isis Stadulne  and  DIPP, Renata Plácido. The school weighs: education in times of lightness and hypermodernity. Educação. Porto Alegre [online]. 2018, vol.41, n.3, pp.471-477.  Epub July 05, 2019. ISSN 1981-2582.  https://doi.org/10.15448/1981-2582.2018.3.29404.

The hypermodern society is an excited society that demands personalized, tailored, and customized learning experience from the school. This text aims to raise questions and point out intersections on the expansion of capitalism, the specificities of the hypermodern society and the place of education and the school. To that purpose, the text is based on concepts of psychoanalysis and the philosophical theories of authors such as Gilles Lipovetsky and Zygmunt Bauman to delineate the impacts of this new socioeconomic order on the social ties. Hence, it is possible to reflect upon how crucial it is that the school plays a socially edifying role in face of this new economic, cultural and technological scenario. The school is the social agent that guarantees individuals are formed with ethical, reflective, critical views; sensitive to the urgent matters concerning a country which high levels of inequality support a disproportionate set of privileges.

Keywords : School; Society; Hypermodernity; Lightness; Consumerism.
