Descrição
Resumo:Analysis of the intellectual Herbert Marshall McLuhan´s (1911-1980) thinking. Specifically on education, understood as a process of moral and cultural direction in line with the interests of hegemonic groups in the United States, between the 1950s and 1960s. The analysis developed from a critical conceptual apparatus of marxian´s thought and involves authors of the various areas of knowledge. This requirement presents itself as a comprehensive approach to the procedures of bibliographic research in History of Education. McLuhan was an intellectual. From this category Gramscian of analysis, we understand the Canadian author in his social relations in capitalist society. The purpose of the analysis of his works, especially those written and published between years 1954 and 1964, is, above all, the clarification of the bond between education and communication. His thinking constructed from an evolutionary notion of history, in which the evolution of letters to the electrical circuits of information technologies, developed in his time, corresponds to human evolution. This is the central thesis of his early work, The Gutenberg´s Galaxy (1962). Developed and continued in the book, Understanding Media (1964). The media-mediated issue of human training was one of the ways in which McLuhan sought to elucidate the question of education for his time.
