Telling the World about oneself in Freirean Literature: the human right to speech

ABSTRACT

Telling the world about oneself, in the full meaning of being and acting, is one of Paulo Freire’s legacy to the Education. Well, beyond the concrete gesture of his pedagogy, the written speech has denounced negligence and has powered resistance and liberation attitudes. In this manner, reflecting about the right of speech as human right is this text’s purpose. The methodology uses bibliographical search, discussing human rights singularity at the books: Pedagogia do Oprimido, Pedagogia da Esperança, and others opus, in dialog with human rights fundaments. The human right to speech marks the singularity of Freire’s opus and pedagogy, that talks about oneself and themselves.
