BrazilSão Paulo, Brazil.- The Communication and Education magazine (Comunicação & Educação ) of the University of São Paulo will publish the Dossier “100 years of Paulo Freire” , a special edition that will be put into circulation in December 2021, at the end of the centennial celebrations. This special edition aims to pay tribute to the memory of Paulo Freire, educational philosopher, communication theorist, popular educator, university professor and public man, on the occasion of the celebration of the first centenary of his birth.
The preparation of the Dossier is under the coordination of academics Douglas Kellner (UCLA, USA), Ismar de Oliveira Soares (ECA-USP, Brazil) and Pablo Nabarrete Bastos (UFF, Brazil), who opened the call to researchers Latin Americans who have studied Paulo Freire or who have followed his philosophy so that they can submit their articles for this special edition.
As he commented with SIGNIS ALC, Professor Ismar de Oliveira considered Paulo Freire to be a "thinker who became one of the main references for Latin American educommunicative thought, whose contribution is universally recognized."
Paulo Freire
Paulo Freire (1921-1997), born in the city of Recife, capital of the state of Pernambuco, is the most cited Brazilian intellectual reference in the world. His extensive work is marked by a commitment to a Philosophy of emancipation of the popular strata through Education.
The Brazilian educator is also a fundamental reference for communication theories in Latin America, an influence recognized by the main researchers in the area, especially in Latin American cultural studies and community, popular and alternative communication. His pedagogy based on the practice of dialogue, applied to projects in rural areas and in the city, around the world, continues to inspire and guide the practice of liberating pedagogy in various institutions and social movements, in formal and informal education.
Recognized worldwide, Freira's praxis in the communication / education interface has become the basis of thought that contributed to the emergence and consolidation, in Latin America, of the concept and practice of educommunication.
In his life, Paulo Freire obtained 35 degrees of Doctor Honoris Causa, between 1988 and 2013, in renowned universities in 11 countries (Germany, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Cuba, Spain, United States, Italy, Portugal, San Salvador, Sweden ). After his death, it became a central subject of study and reference for projects of 32 organizations, in countries of Africa, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and America, including 19 “Paulo Freire Institutes”.
As of April 13, 2012, under Law No. 12,612, Paulo Freire is recognized as the patron of Brazilian education. However, the figure of Freire is not unanimous, in his own country. The traditionalist sectors try to delegitimize the work of the educator, especially due to its impact on the formation of a youth increasingly committed to justice, the defense of the environment and freedom of expression.
