MACHADO, Maria Margarida  e  BARROS, Rosanna. Aspects of the historical construction of the identity of youth and adult education in Brazil and Portugal: focus on the political agenda and its discursive practices. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.19, n.1, pp.91-109.  Epub 30-Mar-2020. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v19n1-2020-8.

This article results from the reflections about the Education of Young and Adults (EJA) in Brazil and Portugal, produced from the point of view of the history and historiography of education. We identify that the identity of the EJA at the academic level has been problematic, on the one hand, due to the accentuated interdisciplinarity of its theoretical body; and on the other hand, also due to its strong focus on practice and social intervention, which implies a level of performance, participation and interference that does not fit the ideal type of academic performance. It is in this sense that the academic institutionalization of the EJA area did not represent its demarcation de facto as an autonomous discipline, with a specific theoretical identity, resulting from a production of own knowledge, but it constituted, in essence, a branch of disciplinary application in the general scope of educational research. There is, however, a global identity in the area of EJA that results from the interrelation of the three main constituent dimensions in a necessary, contradictory and procedural relationship: the field of educational practices; the field of research practices; and the field of discursive practices. In this article, we focus exclusively on the field of discursive practices inherent in the political agenda, and therefore, on the action of the State from the advent of democracy in Brazil and Portugal.
