| Abstract | |
The present thesis consists in an effort to apprehend the nexuses between school and capitalist social relations. We start from the understanding of capital not only as an economic element but as a social relation that tends, contradictorily, to subsume the various spheres of social life, at the same time that allows and requires the autonomization of each of these spheres. Accordingly, we focused on the relationship between the generalization of the school form and of the commodity form, in the light of a trend - characteristic of the capitalist social formation of subjectivation of the forms and reification of the contents, which corresponds to the concept of capitals fetishism. We seek to denaturalize the school form through the study of its historical process of constitution, with emphasis on some specific moments, as the state\'s reaction to the anarchist struggles in the early twentieth century, and the subsequent educational reforms of the 1920s. We analyze the growing importance of the school in the formation of the mass of salaried workers, reified by the condition of sellers of its workforce, but also as subjects of law. Thus, we were conducted to address the imbrication between the school form and the Law, based on mercantile relations, on private property, and on the process of expropriation of workers as a product of the accumulation of capital. Internally to school, we investigate the incorporation of abstract time, as well as the development of the division of labor, the didactics, and disciplinary forms, all this in conjunction with trends of rationalization, of development of the productive forces and the resulting work simplification. From that becomes explicit the prevalence of the form over the formation, as a tendency inherent to the capitalist mode of educating. Moreover, we treat briefly of some distinctions between the processes of schooling for wealthier strata of the population and the bulk of the working population, the result of the cleavage between public and private schools, also based upon property relations. Finally, without denying the relevance of the historical struggles aiming the universalization of the right to the education and better schooling conditions for the working population, we emphasize the risks of limiting the struggles to the institutional frameworks, arguing that when unaccompanied of the construction of autonomous educational experiences, and therefore deprived of a tactical character, such struggles lead to an undermining of the revolutionaries potentials of the organization of the workers.
