Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the changes in the frontier between public and private in the context of the advancing conservative policies and managerialism, linked to the neoliberal perspective, as part of the force correlation movement that occurs in society through societal projects and of education in dispute. Thus, we seek to deepen the understanding about the relationships between neoliberalism and neoconservatism from authors such as Harvey (2008), Puello-Socarrás (2008), Moll Neto (2010) and Laval and Dardot (2017), and investigate the assumptions that support their societal and educational projects, in which the managerial logic is presented as instrumental to a project centered on the dispute for the content of education with a perspective of class restoration. We also analyze the relationships that are established between subjects entailed to conservative and neoliberal ideals under a managerial perspective inspired by the private market logic that is materialized in the Brazilian reality.

Keywords: Public-private relationship. Conservatism. Managerialism.
