Field Education as a counterpoint to digital colonialism in peasant territories

Abstract

The countryside is recognized as a diverse place, formed by territorial identities that are inserted in the class struggle in the context of globalized urban-rural capitalism. With the advance of the technical-scientific-information environment, new tools emerge that promote globalization over these territories, exploiting them and maximizing profit through what is called Digital Colonialism and/or Data Colonialism. This characterizes the era of surveillance capitalism, in which all aspects of human experience are exploited for  the accumulation of  capital. The Movement for a  Field Education is

presented as a counterpoint to these forms of exploitation, and the research conducted addresses the topic through a bibliographical research that allows a broad analysis of phenomena already studied. The objective of the research is to understand how these new forms of exploitation affect the peasant territory and how the movement for a Field Education can be used as an alternative to mitigate the effects and advances of this exploitation and expropriation of the educational, cultural, political, social and economic aspects of the territories and peoples of the countryside.
