DURKHEIM, BANKING EDUCATION AND SCHOOL WITHOUT PARTY

Abstract

Contemporary Brazilian conservative movements have invested in school knowledge in a singular way in this early 21st century. The discussions have guided the knowledge that should be distributed in schools, the censorship of the teaching work, the belief that the students are blank slate and can be "indoctrinated" by the educators. Within this context, it is worth rescuing a classic from Sociology and Sociology of Education that brings visions and conceptions articulated with contemporary issues, because Émile Durkheim (1858-1917), father of Sociology and defender of functionalism, has much to say for the understanding of movements that they want the naturalization of a world that ignores difference and dissent. Thus, through a bibliographical research and thematizing school education and its challenges, it is intended to combine Durkheim's vision with the debate about School Without Party, the role of the educator and the supposed passivity of the students.
