Abstract

The starting point of the research is the hypothesis of the emblematic character of the Landless Workers' Movement (MST) in the context of the construction of a political culture of a socialist nature and dissonant in relation to the hegemonic pattern of the spectacular logic of culture in the capitalist system. The experience of four decades of existence of the popular organization is described in its multiple dimensions and analyzed through dialogue with academic research carried out by MST activists and university researchers (Caldart, 1987; Bogo, 2000, 2016; Faria, 2011, 2016; Chã, 2016; Brennand, 2017; Gasparin, 2017; Barbosa, 2019; Villas Bôas, 2013, 2021), on themes that articulate the spheres of culture and art with politics, education, aesthetic formation, and the popular agrarian reform project. The year 2005, when the National Seminar on Art and Culture in Education took place at the Florestan Fernandes National School (ENFF) and the National March for Social Justice and Agrarian Reform, from Goiânia to Brasília, is interpreted as a culmination point, in the organizational and political spheres, of the MST Culture.
