Motivated by the reflection of The New London Group (NLG) about work, citizenship and the lifeworlds, I discuss, in this essay, how the idea of diversity and sociocultural plurality, assumed by a Pedagogy of Multiliteracies (1996), comes into confrontation with neoliberal policy of behavior regulation and control in the school field. The authors of NLG raise in their text important aspects about competition, flexibility, niches and quality in the labor market, establishing a counterweight between business and management discourses, on one side, and education and educational reform discourse, on the other side. This counterweight, however, reflects a tacit pedagogical problem: how to orchestrate horizontal relationships of collaborative teamwork with the premise of individual skills, competences and autonomy demanded by a labor market that have gains with the idea of the individual-entrepreneur of himself? In this text, I propose a problematization of the relationship between the labor market and school education within a neoliberal context of fetishization of political institutions based on the ideas of NLG.
