PEDAGOGY OF THE OPPRESSED AS A REFERENCE: 50 YEARS OF HISTORICAL GEODATA (1968-2017) AND THE PROFILE OF YOUR READER

ABSTRACT After fifty years of publication of the book Pedagogy of the Oppressed, the demand is emerged to remake the paths of its appropriation as a reference (citation and reading), to analyze to what extent the attempt to ban the book Pedagogy of the Oppressed, and consequently, its author, worked (Hypothesis 1). Another topic that was verified was whether the researchers who most referenced the book are from those so-called colonized-dependent countries (Hypothesis 2) and whether the readership of the book was theoretically under oppression (Hypothesis 3). The intention of this text was not to make a contextual, epistemological and ontological discussion or interpretation of the contents of the book, the intention was to focus on the bibliometric and geohistorical analysis of readers.
