ABSTRACT:
Public education has been continuously affected by serious contemporary issues, which impose on us the need of broadening analyses of current societal bases, the reconfiguration of political institutions, the changes in the world of work and the appropriation of public space. In this article, we will highlight important contributions of the Center for Studies in Education and Society (CEDES) to the debate on these issues, through topics addressed by significant researchers during the VI Brazilian Education Seminar. We will connect the thesis presented in this event through thematic links grouped into two central lines: “Metamorphoses in the world of work and their correlations with organized capitalism” and “The recent mutations of the State, the rise of market paradigms and their consequences for the field of education”.
