Abstract

In Pedagogy of the Oppressed and subsequent works, Paulo Freire extends the significance of conscientizaçao or critical consciousness with respect to a liberatory pedagogy. The article discusses this cornerstone of Freirian thought, particularly with respect to its relationship to critical dialogue, the problematization of the world, the indispensability of resistance, and the process of radicalization. Key to this discussion is also the recognition that the development of emancipatory consciousness evolves through a critical praxis that requires our participation as cultural citizens and subjects of the world.
