A problemática da alienação e seus rebatimentos no complexo da educação no contexto da crise estrutural do capital

Abstract

The paper aims to explore the problem of alienation, based upon the assumptions of Marx and Lukács, further, elucidating the fundamental expressions of alienation within the framework of the structural crisis of capital, accordind to Mészáros, with emphasis on the place of the educational complex in that context. Taking Marxism as an ontology, we retrieve the essential elements required to understand work as the founding complex of social being, and, from this standpoint, we achieve the historical form taken by work in the capital society, assuming abstract labor as the basis of alienated work, which, in its turn, constitutes the foundation for the multiple and complex forms of manifestation of alienation in social praxis. We go on to examine the problem of alienation in the context of the aforesaid present crisis of capital, pointing out with Mészáros, the factors that demarcate the exacerbation of contemporary barbarismo, led by the waste production as the modus operandi of sociometabolism of capital in the state of structural crisis. In this sense, our study aims to contribute to the demystification of the alienated personifications of sociometabolism of capital in structural crisis, including the type of human formation - fragmented, coomodified, emptied of social relevance – offered to the workers in the contemporary world. At the same time, it reaffirms the historical need and possibility of constructing a project of Socialist transition towards human emancipation.
