Reinventing Oppression: an Archaeology of Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed

Dorger, Yolanda Ochoa

Abstract Details

2008, Doctor of Philosophy, Miami University, Educational Leadership.
This dissertation is a archaeological analysis that traces the reinventions of Paulo Freire's idea of oppression in Pedagogy of the Oppressed, by using Foucault's archeological method; it describes “radical transformations and discontinuities” in the reinvention of oppression in different cultural and political contexts by examining the work of Latin American and United States scholars. I focus on the use of Freire's work to redefine the interconnections between literacy, cultures and education that potentially create new theoretical formulations in the United States and Latin America. I emphasize the importance of recognizing the contexts that gave birth to Freire's ideas as well as the proliferation of various meanings and other concerns that grow out of the cultural and political contexts of those peoples and places that continue to speak to the power of Freire's ideas. I focus on the insights and analytical tools that are especially significant to understanding the forces that underwrite Freire's theory and practice.
