Data for "Education by the Escola Nacional Florestan Fernandes as Transmodernization from Capitalist Consumerism" published by RAC-Revista de Administração Contemporânea

In order to discuss ENFF's educational project, highlighting its transmodernist consumerist educational principles, we surveyed the courses normally offered by the school and which are available on the school's website and other platforms, such as YouTube, for example. The themes of the courses are varied, and the courses always have a wide range of support material, such as videos and texts. However, despite various themes ranging from Ideology and Marx's Method regarding land regularization, environmental destruction, and diversity, the courses have one thing in common: they aim to empower individuals in their social relationships.

The large volume of courses (about 30) and their vast content imposed on us the need to select one to focus on. Therefore, we chose to analyze the content of the course called “Agrarian Question: Cooperation and Agroecology.” Table 1 offers an overview of the topics discussed in each class and the number of transcribed pages of the classes’ lectures that made up our research corpus.
