Dos coronéis pela educação! Ideologia da família e ultraconservadorismo no sistema educacional brasileiro

Abstract

Family-school discussions never seem to end. Maybe because there is something that creates strong and lasting bonds between them: the education of children, the formation of identity and citizenship. Our objective in the present work is to understand the reasons that maintain this bond throughout history. We believe that there is something ideological that perpetuates the family institution’s strength, through the control of the body, sexuality and community life. Through bibliographic review, document analysis and discourse analysis, we seek to demonstrate the strength of “the family”, whose evocation can guarantee the most incredible maneuvers in Brazilian politics. In order to do that, we analyzed the formation of what is conceived as “family”, the truths and untruths about its history in brazilian society and its association with the school for the nation's development project. For that, we also analyzed the School Without Party Movement and the rise of violent and neoconservative discourses. We seek to always keep in mind a broad and interdisciplinary perspective, to account for the complexity of the subjects' subjectivation processes.
