Language and its political and pedagogical meaning from Gramsci’s writings

Abstract

This article takes up some aspects of Gramsci’s writings: the question about language and its political and pedagogical meaning is important based on the understanding that language, in Gramsci’s reading, has a political and metaphorical dimension and, as such, translatable, enabling the relationship of the knowledges with each other and between them and the real lived. At the same time, the language due to its political dimension, it becomes an important instrument for consolidating hegemony. Education becomes a mediator in the movement to overcome the dominant ideological horizon, which makes it possible to question and renew language.
