is part of Educação em foco. A Revista da Faculdade de Educação da UFJF , 5 , 1 , September 2000/February 2001 , pp. 115 - 129
The article warms against the risk of the predominance of na antithetical conception of the relations between the State and civil society in Brazil's present political culture. It denounces the incorret use of Gramsci to legitimate certain beliefs about the development of the new brazilian civil society can be established by itself, once it gets to differ from and oppose the State. The article demonstrates that the Gramsci theory does not separate civil society from politics, so, this division can cancel the fight for hegemony. Analyzing the development of the modern Brazilian civil society, the author states that is growth coincided with the progressive generalization of a climate of depolitization, which increased the distance between State and society and weakened the public nature of power. The article also point out that some results of the globalization process, such as: the sovereignty crisis, the fortification of the individualistic culture and the informationalization of life, are weakening classical political institutes and are fortifying the idea of a civil society without State, where the strongest's law would be predominant. It denounces risks involved in left-wing political action in this environment and point out Gramsci's work as an indispensable analytical instrument for extracting from the present the elements that announce the recovery from the current situation (from http://www.faced.ufjf.br)
