Educação e reprodução social: o complexo educativo e o ajuste à lógica do capital

Abstract

The present work is anchored in dialectical historical materialism and aims to understand the ontological process of formation of the educational complex in class society. Education is linked to the fundamental need for social reproduction and its emergence is intrinsically connected to the foundational complex of social being; labor. The transformations that took place in the educational complex are intimately linked to the process of complexification of capitalist society, in such a way that the logic of capital greatly influences the organization and regulation of education. Having said this, we present the present text organized in three fundamental parts, which synthesize the historical dialectic movement of education in a class society. With the advent of this society, the educational complex adjusts itself to the logic of the social division of labor, and becomes an institutionalized instrument for the maintenance of the bourgeois order. However, even though it manages the system of institutionalized education, capitalism is not able to stop the reflections that refute its sovereignty.
