Descripción
Sumario:The objective of this work is to expose, focusing on the adoption of remote education in the context of a pandemic and at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, the way in which, in a dependent country like Brazil, any hegemonic alternative to authoritarianism is in itself authoritarian and anti-democratic, the way in which the narrow elite of capital - whether financial or symbolic - always oblige to “choose” between wide-open authoritarianism and “altruistic” authoritarianism. The reflection develops in 5 points, namely: 1). The sharing of the sensitive in Brazil; 2). Higher education as a fetish and its pooch reading: some symptoms in Brazilian literature; 3). The hatred of democracy in its Brazilian version; 4). Exclusion and bestialization as a rule of “elite pacts” in Brazil and 5). “The author as a producer”, a Benjamin alternative.
