O discurso do Programa Escola “Sem Partido” e a ofensiva do conservadorismo na educação brasileira

Abstract

The present work, linked to the research line Discourse: subject, history and ideology and the Discourse and Ontology Study Group (DOSG), analyzes the discourse of the School without Party Program (SWPP) from its inscription in Law 193 / 2016, proposed by the former Senator of the Espirito Santo Magno Malta (PR). Our purpose is to investigate the process of production of meanings that go through this discourse in order to understand its functioning in the social process, taking into account the inseparable articulation between language, history and ideology and the movements that allow us to understand the contradictions and the character of class that governs the capitalist mode of production. In order to achieve this, we seek, based on the theoretical and methodological assumptions of Discourse Analysis (AD) founded by Michel Pêcheux and from an ontological-materialist perspective, to identify the conditions of production that enabled the emergence of the discourse that sustains the cited project, the memory that it evokes, its effects of meaning and what can be silenced in the discursividades produced by the cited Program. For this, in addition to Pêcheux, we established dialogue with the Marxist philosophers György Lukács, István Mészáros, Marx himself and with contemporary scholars and the AD tradition to which we are affiliated, such as Maldidier, Courtine, Orlandi, Magalhães, Cavalcante, Silva Sobrinho, among others. The research showed that the SPSP discourse, taking into account the struggle of the class struggle that constitutes the capitalist society, is aligned with the political ideology of the right and its conservative values, having as a place of registration the Ideological Formation of Capital. In this sense, we observe that the Program simulates a discourse of "neutrality" and institutionalizes, recalling the memory of the authoritarian discourse of historical moments marked by the governance of totalitarian regimes, such as the military dictatorship period in Brazil, censorship of teaching work, aiming at the criminalization of a critical pedagogical practice. In this perspective, we understand that the SWPP is a project of Capital against the working class and its discourse, understood here as human praxis (MAGALHÃES, 2003), operates in the field of subjectivities, acting in the consciousness of the future workers with the purpose of instilling, with the intention of ensuring, through the control of these subjects, the reproduction of the sociometabolic system of Capital.
