You may have noticed today, on the cover of the main Brazilian newspaper, El Pais Brazil, <a href=\"https:\/\/brasil.elpais.com\/brasil\/2019\/10\/22\/cultura\/1571754417_189523.html\">a cover story about Paulo Freire<\/a> and the centrality of his pedagogic approach to education, not only in Brazil, but around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Friere is, as you know, one of the most influential Brazilian writers and thinkers of the 20<sup>th<\/sup>century, internationally. At a time when Paulo Freire\u2019s ideas and pedagogy have come under attack, especially in this country, in Brazil, it seemed particularly important to me to return to his writings, and to see how they can be used to address own contemporary political struggles\u2014in effect, to engage in the kind of critical reading proposed in <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.law.columbia.edu\/critique1313\/1-13\/\">Critique 13\/13<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Paulo Freire\u2019s <em>Pedagogy of the Oppressed\u00a0<\/em>revolutionized how we approach our task as educators\u2014especially for those of us who come to the task as critical theorists. No other theorist of education so clearly placed the question of education in the framework of critical theory and of an emancipatory project guided by the ambition of a more equal and just society. Freire\u2019s work is unique in this respect.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of human emancipation animates Freire\u2019s project: to empower persons who are disadvantaged to liberate themselves and, at the same time, to liberate those who take advantage of them. The method he develops is humble and powerful: to dialogue with those who are disadvantaged in order to spark their own reflections and action\u2014in effect, to treat all others as fully equal, knowledgeable subjects. Through dialogue, exchange, and practical engagement\u2014through reflection and action\u2014they can come to fully understand how they are being exploited, the methods of their own domination, and they can discover the most effective means to resist and overcome their exploitation.<\/p>\n<p>Freire\u2019s book and his pedagogy had an extraordinary influence on education at an international level, especially in the United States.\u00a0We return, then, today, to Freire\u2019s book to approach it with new eyes.\u00a0The questions we ask: How can we deploy Freire\u2019s text and ideas today in our contemporary political struggles? What work can we do by returning to his critical text?<\/p>\n<p>These are the questions we will address in Critique 4\/13.\u00a0And to address these questions, we have assembled an extraordinary group of critical theorists, from the fields of education, theatre, and psychoanalysis.
