This article analyzes the historical and conceptual connections between Theodor W. Adorno and Antonio Gramsci in the field of education, emphasizing the relationship between dialectics, resistance, and critical formation. Through a comparative bibliographical review, it identifies convergences and divergences in the authors’ approaches to contexts of domination. It highlights that both renew the understanding of dialectics, criticize educational technicism, and value a humanizing formation based on culture and art. The article concludes that Adorno and Gramsci offer relevant contributions to rethinking education as a space of resistance to alienation, conformity, and social massification, emphasizing the importance of critical educational practices.
