Example text
Marxism and social theory in general had changed significantly since Gramsci’s time, so there are also differences in ideas. Similarities ● All education is political, being based upon an ideological position. ● The ruling order will use coercion if necessary to sustain their power. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Civil society is an area of conflict where cultural/educational processes need to change from dominant to transformational/counter-hegemonic discourses. There is a strong belief in the potential of human agency.
This is as it should be. The agenda for discussion and the objectives for change should come from the person/group concerned. Counter-hegemonic work is not a recruiting exercise for a political group or for the worker to indulge their own political perspective. Being a concerned and committed worker is about facilitating others to create and explore their own agendas. It is also important to recognise that people will only explore change when they are able to do so. Those in greatest need will be concerned initially with the basics of survival.
Within these groups members re-conceptualise individual issues as collective issues, are united in a common cause to effect change within society and subsume their personal agendas in the overall cause. , in their study of women’s Community Development Organisations (2009), indicate the potential of participation in collective action to achieve individual and social change. The participatory structure of most of the CDOs in our study and the way the organizations built participation into their programs created a democratic space where community residents could both form ties with each other and develop as individuals while collectively working for the betterment of the whole community.
