Contribution
This presentation will offer the findings of a research on the 'Citizen School' in Porto Alegre, Brazil. This is a project that, as part of a larger political project to promote more democracy and inclusion in the city, radically changed the municipal schools. In the presentation I will describe the setting of the project, its design, and mechanisms. Using a theoretical framework based on the categories of articulation, hegemony, and common sense, my study aims at evaluating the educational proposal of the Citizen School as an alternative to the hegemonic neo- liberal policies in education in Brazil and at investigating the possibilities of success of this project as a counter-hegemonic one. For this I will examine how this project disarticulate the discourses and practices around education from their hegemonic tendency of promoting market-based education as the 'solution' to 'development' and rearticulate them to notions of social justice, redistribution, and participatory democracy
