Based on the legislator metaphors (associated with modernity) and interpreter (associated with post-modernity), discussed by Zygmunt Bauman, this paper brings up discussions about pedagogy's meanings, seeking to show the attempts to rule by pedagogy, and to interpret with the pedagogies. The key thematic is found in the fact that the ways to mark out, define and surround what pedagogy concept has to do with a will to rule society and its individuals. As deep changes have reshaped the society and culture state, we argue there is a need for pedagogy to fit in this reshaping, acting as a culture interpreter – and this enabled, by itself, the plurality of the pedagogy concept and the intentions of this crossing.
