As contradições entre a comunicação de massa e a educação na sociedade brasileira

Abstract

In the thirties we can highlight two important movements in the Brazilian political and educational field: revolution of 1930 and the pioneers’ manifesto of education in 1932. The competition was fierce for those who defended the national interests as opposed to the liberals who defended the privatization of education. These political and ideological conflicts unfold to the present day, reaching its climax in the eighties, when the Governor Brizola and his deputy Darcy Ribeiro inaugurate the CIEPs (Integrated Centers for Public Education) in Rio de Janeiro. The aim of this study is to show that there was, from the sixties, a conflict - political and cultural - at one time in our country. In Brazil there is a cleavage between colony and republic that deeply mark our discussions. Our work will address the following historical periods: thirties period - Teixeira goes to Rio de Janeiro (former Federal District) and get the national struggle for public education; eighties period - the first government of Leonel Brizola and Darcy Ribeiro. We will discuss the political struggle for the construction of schools, laws and their consequences for the historical development of education in the country and the role of mass media outlets in the periods in question. We raised the issue, proposed by Darcy Ribeiro, that the Brazilian society jumped the letter stage (not alphabetizing all children) to the mass media stage. This question is at the heart of discussions and controversies about educational concepts.
