Political Poverty and Survival: A look at the women living in Estrutural
Political poverty. Women. Human rights. Education. Emancipation.
This master's dissertation is an evaluative requirement for the Postgraduate Program in Human Rights and Citizenship - PPGDH of the University of Brasília, which is part of the research line – Education in and for Human Rights and Citizenship. It intends to develop from the concerns about how political poverty affects the survival of women living in the Structural periphery, seeking, above all, to understand the difficulties they have to emancipate themselves politically. The concept of emancipation will be analyzed from the perspective of Freire, who starts from human relations and culture to understand the emancipation of the subject. For the author, it is through education that liberating practices are built that manage to promote the subject to the formation of critical consciousness, deconstructing the discourses present in neoliberal systems in the face of conditions of oppression. In addition to the focus of discussion being around political poverty, one of the cruelest poverties present in society that is little approached and discussed, in addition to describing the difficulties that turn poor women to emancipate themselves, in view of the analyzes and debates made by Demo, which shed light on the theme and its construction for the research.
