Nacionalismo e Educação: ideologias

Abstract

In this work we aimed to present discussions on the conjecture of nationalists, evidenced through various discourses and discursive and ideological practices located, arranged in texts relating to education in Brazil, and the contrast with the new Brazilian educational scenario regarding the adoption of ENEM (Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio), the Ministry of Education and Culture of Brazil (MEC) as unified selection process of the Brazilian federal universities. We discussion on the multiple meanings of the terms “nationalism”, “education” and “ideology” from the theoretical assumptions of John Dewey (1959) and Teixeira (1969), in an attempt to clarify how these concepts relate to each other, generating very particular meanings in social relations and representations that they engender. From a historical perspective, we present also an evolutionary-contrastive panel of such concepts and their implications over the years, to the political, social and ideological issues Brazilian, passing relations and social representations arising from these. In conclusion, we question some points on the triangulation education-nationalism-ideologies about the ENEM and the impact of the adoption of this examination in the Brazilian basic education system. Our goal with this is to characterize the political and social scene around the contemporary discussions on the adoption and configuration of such examination for purposes contextualize an introductory analysis based on categories expressed by Dijk (2009), Abreu (2010), through discussion of examples of texts compiled in specific corpora from actual excerpts taken from reports, with theme-related issue on which we look back.
