A agenda educacional da frente liberal ultraconservadora: uma análise das propostas do movimento Brasil Livre

Abstract

This dissertation aims to investigate the educational agenda of the ultraconservative liberal front by analyzing the Free Brazil Movement (MBL). Based on literature review, we identified the growth of this front based on the expression of the structural crisis of capital triggered in 2008, inflated by the wave of worldwide protests. In Brazil, we mapped the origin of these protests in 2013, context of creation of the MBL. However, we identified the role of New Right only in the demonstrations that took place in 2015 to 2016, with the conduction carried out by the MBL, VPR and Revoltados Online. This is a qualitative work, where the manual for opening MBL branches, analysis of the proposals approved at the first national congress, material available on the website and social network of MBL, MBL Estudantil and UniLivres, and alignment classes, available on YouTube, are analyzed as primary sources, in addition to the material published on the MBL Estudantil channel. As a secondary source, we analyzed dissertations and thesis, articles from newspapers and magazines which took MBL as their object. As a theoretical and methodological procedure, we approached the Expanded State, starting from the investigation of MBL’s performance and identification of the members, organic intellectuals and funding sources. The second phase of the research sought to identify the MBL members’ performance in political sphere, investigating which educational projects were implemented or designed. For a better understanding of this deprived apparatus of hegemony, we work with the concept of Expanded State and organic intellectual. Currently, as a composition of the cultural war front, the MBL developed Student MBL (2018), a project of short duration. We identified a project with the same purpose called UniLivres (2017), which aims to oppose the leftist Central Directory of Students (DCE). As a model for updating Student MBL, Academia do MBL was created to train future members and political candidates of the Movement. We conclude that the educational agenda defended by MBL seeks to represent liberal education entrepreneurs and that the new MBL projects seek to strengthen the movement in political sphere.
