Consciência de classe em Paulo Freire na obra Pedagogia do oprimido: um diálogo com marxismo

Abstract

In this research, we discuss Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, based on a dialogue with the works of Marx and Engels. We seek to present a debate between Freirean and Marxist production, based on a work that had bibliographic analysis as its source of research data. We list several authors who establish in their works the ontological relationship between work and education. The scope of this work includes a Marxist approach to the concepts of: Social Class, Class Struggle, Ideology and Class Consciousness, in debate with Paulo Freire's magnum opus: “Pedagogy of the Oppressed”. In conclusion, we see the work Pedagogy of the Oppressed as a relevant source for studies on raising the consciousness of the working class, as it deals with a deep understanding of the praxis of oppressors who yearn for the status quo to remain and the process of unveiling ideology conservative through a political-pedagogical process of education.
