Abstract

In this article we analyze the appropriation and uses of Antonio Gramsci’s thought about education, aiming to apprehend how graduate students have interpreted the author’s thought and its relevance to understand contemporary education. It is a documentary and bibliographical research, analyzing nine theses and dissertations out of 32 works that indicated Gramsci as theoretical reference in their abstracts. The thirty-two papers were collected from a data bank with 1,283 theses and dissertations on educational policy, produced in post-graduation programs in Education from 2000 to 2010, which had scored five, six, and seven in the three-year evaluation, finished in 2010, from the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Ensino Superior (Capes). We conclude that Gramscian ideas about school and education were important references for the authors to analyze educational policies and school under a critical perspective, establishing the relevance of the author’s educational reflections. Furthermore, we posit that Gramscian thought has fostered a broader and deeper reflection on education, in articulation with the material and cultural forms of production in a class-divided society with strong social inequality.
