CAPITAL EDUCADOR

A POTÊNCIA DESTRUTIVA E LUCRATIVA DA ARTICULAÇÃO DE APH E DA PLATAFORMIZAÇÃO DA EDUCAÇÃO

Abstract

The profound changes that has been happening in the last period by education in Brazil, especially since the 1990s, bear the indelible mark of capital movements, altering form and content, objectives and control mechanisms, and commodifying a growing set of educational activities. Contemporaneously, capital has taken upon itself the task of training the future worker and expanding its ideological co-optation, targeting the public sphere of education while further deepening its influence in the private sphere. This article presents elements that demonstrate the imposition of capital's interests specifically through the articulation of two striking phenomena in current education: the platformization of labor and, consequently, of education - especially by the introduction of digital technologies; and the action of private organizations constituted as Private Hegemony Apparatuses (APHs), aiming to consolidate the bourgeois educational project through changes in educational policy and state actions, aiming to create the environment necessary for the destructive process of capital reproduction.
