The Implications of Relativizing the Concepts of Autonomy and Democracy in the Politics of Democratizing Educational Management

The research presented here has as its main objective to investigate whether the relativization of the concepts of autonomy and democracy in official documents causes harm to the democratization process in the educational management of the country's public network, that is, whether certain interpretations can cause harm to the effective democratization of school management, as regulated by legislation. Therefore, this is a proposition that is responsible for contributing to the strengthening of the democratic regime to the extent that it seeks to investigate and identify possible setbacks resulting from the manipulation of the meanings of words and concepts to maintain a hegemonic group in power or modify the system to take advantage of public property. To this end, pragmatic discursive analysis will be used as a theoretical framework in approaching the research corpus, proposed here due to its qualitative nature, with the object of study being discourses (official education documents) and their discursive practices that arise with the implementation of laws such as No. 9,394/1996 (LDBEN), No. 13,005/2014 (PNE), Law No. 14,113/2020 (FUNDEB), etc.
