Políticas públicas em disputa: o movimento pela base e a construção da hegemonia na educação brasileira

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes how the Movimento Pela Base (MPB) built its capacity to influence the National Curriculum Policy Reform (RPCN), particularly in the formulation and implementation of the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), between 2013 and 2018. The research stems from concerns about the role of business foundations in Brazilian educational policy, investigating the repertoires and strategies employed by the MPB as a form of collective business action. Using the case study methodology (Yin; Gerring), it mobilizes the concepts of repertoires of action (Abers, Serafim, Tatagiba, 2014), business strategies (Mancuso, 2004; 2007) and, above all, Gramscian categories such as hegemony, civil society, organic intellectuals, war of position, historical bloc, and the expanded State. The study demonstrates that the MPB acted as a Private Apparatus of Hegemony (APH), organizing consensus within civil society and articulating with political society to institutionalize its agenda. Hybrid practices were identified, such as data production, training of administrators, media mobilization, preparation of pedagogical guides, alliances with Consed and Undime, and the occupation of state councils, which configure performances of hegemony, a category proposed in this dissertation based on the notion of performance originally developed by Charles Tilly, here redefined to capture the totality of business action. The conclusion is that the MPB was able, albeit temporarily, to achieve hegemony in the educational field and institutionalize its agenda, revealing that entrepreneurs also innovate in repertoires of collective action and that further studies are needed on the influence of non-state actors in the formulation of public policies.
