Germinal : Marxismo e Educação em Debate (Jun 2009)
FROM THE PRAGMATIC OF THE FRAGMENTED SPECIALIZATION TO THE PRAGMATIC OF THE MORE FLEXIBLE LYOPHILIZATION: THE WAYS OF THE EDUCATION IN THE CAPITALIST MODE OF PRODUCTION
Abstract
Our presentation treats the proposed theme – Mode of production and education – by seeking an initial sistematisation of this problematic in the form of three notes. The first suggests some elements for a broad understanding of Marx’s concept of mode of production. The second suggests some differences present in different forms of alienation and estrangement present in the Twentieth century, and the third explores some distinct modes of education for capital under capitalism, which we define as the pragmatism of specialisation, in its taylorist-fordist variant, and the pragmatism of flexible liofilization in the eara of toyotism and flexible accumulation. I have concluded with a brief excerpt introducing some angles for considering education beyond the constraints of capital.
