FERNANDES, Paulo Irineu Barreto. Herbert Marcuse e as “imagens da libertação”. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2012, vol.26, n.52, pp.527-549. ISSN 1982-596X.

In the 1960s, the avant-garde artistic movements and student movements of protest, sought a change in the political consciousness of individuals. However, according to Marcuse, while in the field of knowledge already knew what should be done for social transformation in the field of facts that it was not possible. Therefore, the requirements led the revolutionary movement out of the universities so that the community could achieve materially the criticism that arose within the academy, but there are also suppressed. For Marcuse, art could contribute decisively to this process. In a warning to a new aesthetic sensibility, art as a manifestation of human autonomy and freedom rather than as mere political tool, can provide the “Images of Liberation”, which in turn could lead to a new consciousness and a new humanity.

Keywords : Marcuse; Critical Theory; Politics; Philosophy of Art.
