RESUMO

This study aims to study the tradition of community education in Brazil. It departs from the critical analysis of discourses on the community issue in education, taking into account its conceptual supports, related themes, and systematized proposals in this area. Bering in mind the direction of the educational processes, its function and political representation in different historical contexts, this study aimed to understand and unravel the different meanings, values and ethical-political reasons linked to the theories and teaching practices present in the arena of strife and tensions which surrounds the relationship between the State and the civil society in Brazil. The study identified the creation of three matrices that shape and inform hegemonic movements and ideas on community education in Brazil: i) the Fascist matrix, which focuses on the educational policies for the work of the corporate state; ii) the redemption matrix, supported by the experiences of popular education movements and by the social thought of the Catholic Church; iii) and the production matrix, which has a version based on the pedagogic technicalities of educational policies of the Military Government, and another one based on the actions of civil organizations of welfare, so-called third sector, which have been promoting a poll of educational services to replace the social policies backed by the State before. This is a historical-philosophical investigation that is structured on literature review, conceptual and category analysis, and ethical-political debate on matrix constructions that make up this vast array of ideas and educational experiences, in which different conceptions of community education emerge, building up an educational tradition full of compensatory and mystifying interests. Such views collaborate to misguide and educate towards a dangerous consensus on an elusive and imprecise community ethic. By confronting the hegemonic discourses with the educational interests at stake, this research intends to withdraw the pleas and hidden contradictions under which this tradition rests, showing its limits and possibilities for the realization of a critical and dialectical conception of education, committed to social transformation and human emancipation.
