Pedagogia da luta : ações de protesto e greves de conquista e resistência do CPERS/Sindicato em tempos de neoliberalismo

Abstract

This master's degree thesis revolves around the strikes of the CPERS/Syndicate in times of neoliberalism, focusing on the conformity of a pedagogy that emerges in the process of the social struggle. This pedagogy exists from the organizational need of teachers inserted into the Capitalist way of profiteering by the State. Particularly, this category of workers is submited to low wages in installment, work overload and precarious relations of production. This context has been condictioning teachers of Rio Grande do Sul to political self-organization and the generation of the social movement. The research aimed at understanding the pedagogical meanings of the strike and of the actions put foward by the CPERS, in 2017, as well as the meaning of it's contribution to political education facing the political depreciation of the faculty. The analysis was accomplished with the usage of the social movement theory from the lens of dialetical materialism. It was crafted from semistructured interviews with CPERS' basis leaders and activists, and analysed documents. In the pedagogy of the struggle, the workers understand that it isn't viable to compromise in the position of an assembly and contradict it in the school, which, in times of neoliberalism, the state government strictly follows this perscription, weakening the very power of the State, but that since these are times of resistance, and the strike, in such context, was the art of resisting to these politics (collective resistance); it sought to bring the procession of the negociation between the Sindicate and the State, acknowledging the limits of the action, that are part of political education, which is challenging, for it's exerted against a institutional power (political education in action); in the collective action it's stablished some means of participation, because in the union movement there's a radicalized form of democracy, which, in the end, due to the collective struggle, a sense of belonging to a social group is developed, be it through the homogenization of speech, be it through the common struggles which reinforce those liaisons and contribute in the making of a collective identity.
