An author of great importance so that let us can understand some of the transformations for which passes our Country (and some other parts of the world) is Antonio Gramsci. One is about a born Italian philosopher in 1891 and that he faleceu in 1937. As we go to be able to observe ahead, Gramsci brought a great contribution for some theoretical lines in education when trying to adapt the
thought marxist politician àsexigências of the society of century 20. But here it is that the question appears on as this if gave.
As we know by means of the studies related to the Social Theory of Karl Marx, this age an author who left of the estimated one of that the changes (social revolutions) occurred by means of a
fight (armed) of classrooms (bruguesesxproletários). In the social thought of Gramsci, the space where the fight of classrooms occurs is of the
culture, and such fight is a mainly ideological fight.
For the Gramsci, most important in the development of a proletarian
revolution (objective of the marxist revolutionary thought) is if to establish a
cultural revolution, which when moving all the system of beliefs, values and traditions of a people, dumb its proper form to think and even though brings for the old elites conservatives the way to think of the diligent classroom. With sights to accomplish this project of cultural revolution (which stops Gramsci even though becomes possible to do without the use of the physical force to remain itself in case that well it is made), the author thinks about two strategies: 1) The Unitária
school; 2) The organic
intellectual.
In the unitária school (only, but also unitária) the individual would be present in a school where the intellectual workers and the manual workers frequent this same school (and for that is only), equally in this school professional formation and to the classic culture is learned relative contents á (and for this the school is unitária of the point of view of the knowledge). it is in this school called for Gramsci of Unitária School, that will be formed the Organic Intellectual, who nothing more is of what the citizen that possesss at the same time a comprometimento with the classroom the one that if ties and one to know (erudite and technician-professional) that it distinguishes it from excessively. It is through the mobilization politics promoted for the organic intellectual and the pertaining to school contents that more would not establish distinction between the intellectual work and the material work (manual) that the cultural revolution would happen. The fight armed would not occur in this in case that, therefore all would be unified the point of view of the culture. I dedicate to this article to all the readers of the Shvoong, in special to that they are my pupils of a Brazilian University.
