Pedagogías del Conflicto para la Emancipación. Tensionando los Conocimientos Regulados y el Sentido Común en la Escuela

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 of discursive and material dispute. This fact has conditioned the existence of a school model that educates "from fear" and that, based on this, has ensured the non-expansion of emancipatory and supportive subjectivities. In order to deepen this diagnosis and from a qualitative approach based on a documentary analysis of relevant literature on the subject of study, the purpose of this article is: (1) to analyse the characteristics of educational institutions within the framework of the cultural domination of capitalism, before and during the pandemic; (2) to highlight the opportunities presented by the pandemic to transform and reconfigure the education system towards a model that favours social emancipation and commitment to the common good; and (3) to highlight the opportunities presented by the pandemic to transform and reconfigure the education system towards a model that favours social emancipation and commitment to the common good. The article raises questions to generate a transformative educational project. In short, it sets out to analyze the tensions experienced by education systems when it comes to taking on transformative projects that connect with an idea of society based on the common good.
