Educação musical e emancipação humana: análises introdutórias e contribuições ao debate

Abstract

Based upon the marxian ontology, this paper discusses a part of the intellectual production of the journal Revista da Associação Brasileira de Educação Musical (ABEM) that regards the subject of the reproduction or rupture with the present social order. As so, we analyze papers selected by their positions about the relationship between capitalism and the specific field of music education. We argue that, despite the fact that those papers do present some elements of critique, they do not reach the core of the problem: the necessity of a radical overcoming of the social metabolic control system of Capital and, therefore, do not contemplate the real revolutionary possibility in marxian terms.
