Por meio do presente artigo pretende-se examinar os processos de formação a que são submetidos membros da classe trabalhadora partindo-se do pressuposto que estes não se esgotam na educação escolar. Com esse objetivo são discutidas as transformações de caráter neoliberal pelas quais passou o capitalismo tendo em vista o enfrentamento da crise da década de 1970, considerando que estas promoveram alterações na formação profissional dos trabalhadores bem como na estrutura do emprego e na constituição/composição da classe trabalhadora originária da organização taylorista-fordista do trabalho. Hoje tal classe, não apenas no Brasil, mas também no plano internacional, é constituída majoritariamente pelos trabalhadores de serviços e se caracteriza por sua complexidade e heterogeneidade, assim como pelo enfraquecimento de sua participação sindical e de suas ações coletivas de natureza política. Os próprios sindicatos foram profundamente afetados. Nessa nova configuração instituem-se processos formativos adequados à organização flexível das empresas, as quais investem pesadamente na subjetividade dos trabalhadores, processos esses que encontram eco na sociabilidade de caráter neoliberal e, inclusive, nas propostas educacionais que a valorizam. Defende-se que, contrariamente a estas, seja fortalecida a concepção gramsciana de formação integral, mas, também que, para tal fim, a educação se articule com outras agências sociais.Palavras-chave: Formação do trabalhador.

With this objective, the neoliberal transformation that capitalism underwent in order to cope with the crisis of the 1970s are discussed, considering that they promoted changes in the professional formation of workers as well as in the structure of employment and in the constitution/composition of the working class from the Taylorist-Fordist organization of  labor. Today, such a class, not only in Brazil, but also internationally, is made up mostly of service workers and is characterized by its complexity and heterogeneity, as well as the weakening of its union participation and its collective political actions. The unions themselves were deeply affected. In this new configuration, formative processes are instituted adapted to the flexible enterprise organization, which invest heavily in the workers' subjectivity, processes that are echoed in the neoliberal sociability and even in the educational proposals that value it. It is argued that, contrary to these, the Gramscian conception of integral formation is strengthened, but also that, to this end, education articulates with other social agencies.Keywords: Worker formation. 21st century working class.

Future School

The origins of this project stemmed from the convictions of a group of parents who believed on the importance of pre-school education and parental involvement in it for the future school careers of their children. This way have been long accepted by some sections of the community who have made the effort to provide a stimulating enviroment for their young children, but it is by no means as common a view amoung working class people who may have had little eductaion themselves. The levels of wages, the time available, the cultural patterns of the family, thier own school experience and expectations for their children are all important factors in determining pople’s attitudes towards pre-schooling.

Trade Wars

Chapter I notes that while necessarily selective of historical events, explanations for the 2016 Brexit vote, trade wars, race and migrant antagonisms and hatreds must start with the British Empire, especially in the later 19th century when power and wealth were concentrated in a white world. Racial ignorance and assumptions of national superiority have continued into the 21st century. The chapter discusses the emergence of mass education from around 1870 which was influenced by events associated with imperialism and its ideologies. It records that British values and invented traditions, imbued with nationalism, militarism and racial arrogance, were filtered down from public schools to state secondary and elementary school. Teaching, textbooks and youth literature reflected and entrenched beliefs in the superiority of white people and distrust of foreigners. There were some signs that the white working class recognised a connection between imperial rule and their own class position.

Abstract The 21st century has seen increasing attacks directed at Muslim places of worship, a social problem that has resulted in a whole array of investigations. This article suggests that the majority of this research on mosque conflicts fails to address the entrenched class dynamics and shifting geography of capitalist accumulation. Consequently, it complements this research by analysing the first mediatised conflict of its kind in Spain, the protest against the construction of a purpose-built mosque in Catalonia, Premià de Mar. The case demonstrates that the opposition was in fact a racist attack against Muslims answering to the economic interests of the local bourgeoisie. The ones acting it out, a section of the local working class, was convinced that this symbol of migrant presence would be a degrading feature that would jeopardise their recent social upward mobility. Hence it is fundamentally an expression of how racist logic is embedded in the spatial logic of capitalism in the 21st century.

To portray populism purely as a threat to democracy is to fail to recognise that it expresses widespread feelings of discontent with the current system, which is in systemic crisis. This has expressed itself through both anti-foreigner (nationalist) and anti-elites (class) sentiment. The left needs to focus on a class-based strategy, and to organise in particular among the new working class, which is ethnically diverse and composed mostly of well-educated service workers in London and the large cities. Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn sought to mobilise these constituencies, as well as their more traditional constituencies, along class lines. Though they did not succeed electorally, in the longer run, the fact that the new working class is predominantly young and increasingly attracted by an alternative and socialist vision of economy and society may be a cause for some optimism.

A Chain

In narrating Afghanistan's 21st century, future historians might bracket the first decade with the two Bonn conferences of 2001 and 2011: great-power delegates and handpicked elite Afghans meeting to plot Afghanistan's transitional place in the international system. In contrast, Afghan popular and intellectual cultures alike have often voiced alternate histories. For example, Malang Kohistani, a contemporary working-class singer of Kabul's hinterland, sees top-down Afghan integrations into globality not as a fundamentally new construction of institutions that promise prosperity for a nation-state and its people but rather as one more intrusive disruption—in a chain of similar events beginning over 2,000 years ago with Alexander—in everyday people's continuous, bottom-up efforts to ensure their livelihoods, in part through developing horizontally organized trade networks. And indeed it is not only post-2001 statist intervention that has attracted such popular responses, but this is also a longstanding critique among both urban and rural Afghan intellectuals. In some ways Malang Kohistani echoes Malang Jan, the renowned 1950s sharecropper-poet of Jalalabad, as well as various more elite authors.

Marxism, which produced the theory of communism, is very extensive. This field that originated in the West and grew up in Tamil novel literature, and Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels are the founders of Marxism, which has the principle of equality for the working class. The theory of reflection is the theory that is primarily in the literary theories advanced by Marxism. That is, the class conflicts in society cause crises in human lives. The economic inequality in society is the primary cause of social contradiction. Struggles erupt when the bourgeoisie exploits the working people. This article seeks to examine the struggles in Tamil novels published in the 21st century.
