Abstract

ECKHARDT, Fabiana; BERNAR, Aline Praça  and  MOREIRA, Renato Simões. From Janus to Sankofa: what can the school we have learn with the school we want? The multiple faces of the school in GT6. Conjectura: filos. e Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.28, e023010. ISSN 2178-4612.  https://doi.org/10.18226/21784612.v28.e023010.

In the wake of works presented and published in the annals of the 38th, 39th and 40th editions of the Annual Meetings of Anped, we recovered texts that address school, popular education, their scenarios and characters, in the periphery and in the countryside. Texts that observe the school we have and that enunciate research and proposals for the acquisition and sharing of knowledge in a more horizontal and dialogic way. They are eyes and looks to the past with a view to the future, which in the present text proposal we are led to think of them in parallel to the mythological figures of Jano and Sankofa. Starting from dialogue, going through the understanding of the non-neutrality of practices, permanent teacher training, constant work with difference, and arriving at decolonial and counter-hegemonic reflection, the debates present in the texts in question think about and address the limits and possibilities crossed by the school, in an attempt to build a more democratic, humane and life-oriented school. This article was based on the bibliographic review of GT6 publications in the last three annual meetings (2017, 2019 and 2021), applying filters related to public school and popular education. Confluences, similarities or even divergences were sought to point to the emergence of a new education paradigm, different from the hegemonic model, used to the virtues of a civilization oriented towards neoliberalism, towards competitiveness and towards the needs of the market. Suggestive indications lead us to believe that issues dear to popular education, such as gender and locality issues, gained more prominence, in moments of strong attack on public schools and progressive education.

Keywords : Public school; Dialogue; Popular education; Counter-hegemony.
