A BASIS FOR SOCIALIZED SEMIFORMATION: THE VULGARIZATION OF CRITICISM AS A CONSENSUS-PRODUCING STRATEGY¹

ABSTRACT:

Considering the undertaking that has been underway for implementing the National Common Curricular Base (Base Nacional Comum Curricular BNCC), this article proposes an analysis of its latest version with a specific focus on what is standardized for the teaching of Portuguese in Elementary Education, establishing relationships, in the background, with the area of languages at the same stage of schooling. The methodological perspective used is critical discourse analysis (CDA), anchored in the dialectical relations between language and social practice, based on the assumption that, within the scope of discourse, it is possible to understand political and social constraints. It is inferred that the policy in question operates by inserting the ideas of apparent regeneration of the democratic culture, by stimulating the socialization of pseudoparticipation rather than radically participative culture, as yet another force in the progress of fractions of bourgeois interests, and avails itself of a critical and engaged theoretical-discursive arsenal as yet another consensus-producing strategy among teachers.
