Ensino profissionalizante no Brasil : determinações e escapes

Abstract

This study focuses on a discursive analysis of the institution and representation of Professional Education (PE) in Brazil. The documents from which we elect our analysis consist of Decree No. 7566/1909, Article 129 of the Federal Constitution of 1937 and Law 12,513/2011 Pronatec institution. The analysis takes into account the interweaving of linguistic materiality with the imaginary formations of the subjects represented in it, and the discursive memory. To do this, we mobilize the principles and procedures used by French Discourse Analysis. Production processes of this discourse were investigated, paying attention to the constitution and to the specificity of sense relations in the various documents, taking into account their socio-historical conditions. The study is divided into four chapters: two for the production of a reading of the epistemological framework and two, the discussion of an interpretative procedure. The analysis identified socio-ideological and imaginary determinations involved in the construction of the discourse of PE, related not only to the institution, but also to the concreteness of the social relations of contemporary without, however, rule out the possibility of leaks.
