MENDES, Madalena. The seven sins of global governance: Paulo Freire and the reinvention of the possibilities of a democratic pedagogy and emancipatory education. Rev. Lusófona de Educação [online]. 2009, n.14, pp.61-76. ISSN 1645-7250.

In the sceneries of globalization and of the revitalization of the neoliberal creed, it is important to point out the main changes assumed by the state-owned model (desnationalization of the state, desestatization of the political regimes and internationalization of the national state) in the intersection with the emergence of mighty mechanisms of transnational regulation played the lead role by globalised agencies, as oecd and european union. in this paper, the author, from the critical perspectives and the world-wide modern system, analyses the emergence of the ways of government and of regulation of the educational field. In counterpoint to hegemonic logics of the global government, metaphorized in the seven sins - vanity, pride, envy, laziness, gluttony, meanness, wrath - the author mobilizes the principals contributions of epistemology and of pedagogic-ethical ideas of paulo freire, patents in the axial wealth of basic concepts bequeathed by the educator, such as: historicity, dialogicity, conscientization, emancipation, autonomy, freedom and hope. in this paper, the author thinks about the main contributions of the pedagogy of paulo freire for the recontextualization of traditional paradigms of thinking education and for the construction of emancipatory senses which enform the reinvention of the democratic contexts.

Keywords : pedagogy of paulo freire; critical theory; education; citizenship.
