RESUMO
In this essay I develop a critical analysis about the society and the education from the concept of alterity (a quality which is particular from the other) specified by Walter Benjamin and I search for new possibilities and alternatives for a pedagogical concept inserted in an education context marked by the neoliberal hegemonic capitalist pattern. At first, I analyze the concepts of alterity and its historical in Benjamin for, following that, examining them from the educational point of view more specifically by the authors as Sonia Kramer, Cipriano Carlos Luckesi and Castor Ruiz. Then I do a particular analysis about the educative praxes from the CAIC School (a full-time school which is located on a suburb in the city of Americana) and I examine it consulting its main agents, its advances and its difficulties about the introduction and the concretion of an educative practice based on the concept of alterity. The current concern with alterity comes out with a way to think (again) about the concepts and the excluded historical practices or other points of view from a world marked by conceptions, which support the winner perspective. Then, the reflexive and investigative process of this essay allows me, by the Walter Benjamin?s theory, to search for possible ways to release education from its bureaucratic conformism, which threatens it so much and which can transform it on an unilateral project in a contemporary world. Against this official and fragmented vision about education, alterity comes out as a proposal for understanding the other person and stimulates collective projects and actions at school. So I suggest a kind of education which has the engagement with an open history of unpredictable and a fight for values which emphasizes at all moments the point of view from those people who didn?t have the chance to express their opinions or changing society
