Tese (Doutorado em Educação) – Faculdade de Educação, Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2024.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tede/14229The thesis entitled “Popular Education and Social Organization: formative processes and popular resistance in the Alto Rio Pardo Territory – MG” is based on a structural and conjunctural context of capitalist incursion into the countryside, specifically in a territory in the Northern region of Minas Gerais and the development of two popular education experiences: CEBs and the CAA/NM Training Program, developed between the beginning of the 1970s and 2019. The research to build this thesis is linked to the Research Line, Work, Education and Social Movements of PPGE/FE-UFG. The study, by problematizing the relationship between these formative processes and the social political (re)organization and resistance in the territory, has the general objective of understanding this relationship, and for this purpose it was proposed: to understand how the conflict dynamics developed in the region from the expansion and insertion of agrarian capital and its consequences, a context studied by Dayrell (1998), Porto-Gonçalves (2000), Ribeiro (2005), Costa (2003;2021), Nogueira (2009), Costa (2017); investigate how popular education experiences developed in the Alto Rio Pardo territory; and verify the influence of these formative experiences on political and social organization in the territory. Authors such as Gramsci (1982, 2002), Wanderley (1984), Manfredi (1987), Brandão (1986, 2012, 2013), Enguita (1993), Frigotto (1995), Freire (2005, 2008), Marx (2008, 2010), Marx and Engels (2016) supported the debate on popular education, class struggle, society projects in dispute, formation, awareness and potential for transformation. Finally, this study presented a diagnosis of social organization in the Territory, the relationship between this dynamic and popular formative experiences from the perspective of its subjects and highlighted the main achievements achieved by this confluence of forces and movements, in addition to problematizing the challenges and perspectives of these subjects in the contemporary moment in the Alto Rio Pardo Territory. The cooling of training experiences was evident as one of the obstacles to popular collective action, as well as other diverse challenges in social organization in the Territory. Obstacles that are associated with the crisis of liberal democracy and the growing counter-offensive of the rationality of capital in regional, national and global dynamics.Acesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Educação PopularOrganização socialTerritório Alto Rio PardoGeraizeirosConscientizaçãoTransformaçãoPopular EducationSocial organizationTerritory Alto Rio PardoGeraizeirosAwarenessTransformationCIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAOTese
