Complaint, announcement and utopia in Paulo Freire: notes to think about the field of education

Abstract

This article carries out a discussion around the categories denunciation, announcement and utopia, developed by educator Paulo Freire, given his relevance for thinking about issues that cross the field of education. We believe that his principles are fundamental for consolidating educational experiences politically-pedagogically committed to the emancipation of historically oppressed and/or marginalized subjects. This is because its matrix proposes a radical change in the structures of society, seeking to build a collective and emancipatory project capable of recreating the world. Therefore, we can affirm that the respective categories bring with them a framework of possibilities so that we can awaken the consciousness of critical subjects, as well as advance an education proposal that is capable of overcoming the situations of marginality and inequality that still surround our reality.
