Abstract

The cultural domination of capitalism and its influence on the construction of modern democracies could not have been possible without educational institutions becoming one of the main territories for discursive, material and power disputes. This fact has conditioned the existence of a model that educates "from fear" and that, based on this, has ensured the non-expansion of emancipatory and supportive subjectivities. To explore this idea further, and as an epilogue to this dossier "Social movements, activism and resistance from the school", we spoke with Professor Boaventura de Sousa Santos to reflect on the role of education in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and what the main challenges are for building more democracy and educational justice through resistance and emancipation.
