Abstract

The objective of this presentation is to provide a synthetic formulation (with a view to defining theoretical) work plan that is being developed at the interface of Anthropology, History and Education, with focus on mediation processes, encoding and agency are different, here we designate generically as "formation processes. " Such processes of identity formation and differences operate in three dimensions, usually perceived as autonomous: the "nation building"- which was guided and continues guiding the history of Brazilian social thought -; of a socio-historical group identity and political action - they talk about the history and political science regarding the formation of classes and the struggles for recognition -; of teaching and learning - promoted in the school and no school. When we refer to these three research fields such as dimensions of what we intend to designate as a unifying and forming processes, however, we place the problem not only to articulate these dimensions, but to make such a joint is able to throw new light on each one of them.
