Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the gramscian concept of catharsis and its implications for the area of special education. To this end, it initially presents general considerations about the writings of Antônio Gramsci (1891-1937) and then exposes the main concepts of this author apprehended by the area of special education in Brazil. This study also examines the incorporation of the concept of catharsis in the gramscian sense into the method of historical-critical pedagogy and, finally, based on this pedagogical theory and its gramscian conceptualization of catharsis, it problematizes some attempts to incorporate this category into theoretical and practical propositions in area of special education.
