Filantropia empresarial e educação brasileira no contexto da crise estrutural do capital

A Fundação Bradesco no centro do debate

Abstract

The theme displayed here purposes to make a review of corporate philanthropy, mainly to education as deforming and tendentious mechanism for social cooptation that the capitalist system offers the working class. It is put as a solution to face the reverberations of capital's structural crisis, the insertion and acceptance of "civil society" represented by the business community, in a transfer movement of social responsibilities. In light of Marxist treadmill, the work investigates, in these terms, the considered third sector and its role in society by providing public and nonstate services. Making a cut in our object, in view of the numerous institutions that present themselves nowadays as philanthropic, we chose to make the main focus in the activity performed by Banco Bradesco (Bradesco Bank) and its coorporation: Fundação Bradesco. Put this issue, we left for proof of questions put through a theoretical and bibliographical research and document the concerns that reality required us. In the methodological field we understand that reality is composed of its many contrarieties and be built by men, has historicity, which is why it is necessary to maintain constant approaches in favor of not losing touch with reality. In general ,the corporate philanthropy directed for education masks the exploration of the working class, with social actions presented as humanised , coperation and social responsibility. However, we note that the Bradesco Foundation expressed an ideology of citizen corporate with responsibilities.
