O QUE TEMOS PARA HISTORICIZAR, DESTACAR E PROSPECTAR NOS 100 ANOS DE PAULO FREIRE?

Abstract

In this article we investigate Paulo Freire’s historical trajectory through ideas expressed in his main books. For this, we divided into blocks of writings and argued the impossibility of understanding his practical-theoretical legacy if we do not proceed with a reading of the entirety of his work. It is a work of several links, criticisms and reconstructions exposed in its core books such as Educação e atualidade brasileira, Educação como prática da liberdade, Pedagogia do oprimido, Ação cultural para liberdade e outros escritos, Conscientização, Educação e mudança, Cartas á Guiné-Bissau, A importância do ato de ler, Política e educação, Pedagogia da esperança – um reencontro com a Pedagogia do oprimido, Pedagogia da autonomia, among others. The investigations lead us to conclude by the actuality of its legacy built in the second half of the 20th century and whose central axis focuses on the inseparability (practical and theoretical) between education and politics. This legacy and its continuity by researchers from all over the world demonstrates the relevance of its proposals for 21st century education.
