Rural family house (CFR) of Santarém-Pará: practices, resistance and emancipatory struggle

Abstract

This study started from the search for understanding of school practices and experiences at the Rural Family House Institution (CFR) of Santarém, considering the differentiated perspective as resistance to the dominant homogenizing project. The educational proposal Casa Familiar initially developed in France (1935); Italy (1960) and Brazil/Espírito Santo (1969) being created by the social movement of the countryside for access to education and opposing the excluding urban-centric model. It alternates education and work in formative times of theory and practice for the integral formation of young people. The research that supported the analyses was carried out based on other studies on the subject, documents and obtaining information in the institution studied, through interviews and field visits. In the text, we highlight the contradictions between discourses and practices in the relationship between State and social movement, comprising marches and countermarches in the construction of the educational policy of the field. The analysis of official documents and interviews allowed us to conclude that in the relationship with state power, the CFR contributes to the struggles of the constitution of local power for the human emancipation of the collective of the field.
