Facing the literature on planetary urbanization, and informed by the history of Countryside Education in Brazil, this article examines the potential of a theoretical model of a Right to the Countryside, inspired by the theory of social space-time of Henri Lefebvre. The concept of a Right to the Countryside, which is being developed through a PhD dissertation, includes claiming the specificity of the spatialities of the countryside, as well as the right to properly political deliberation by the inhabitants of the countryside on its future. Formed in the end of the Twentieth Century in Brazil, the Countryside Education movement has contested Rural Education as a program for the government of subjectivities that benefits privileged citizens, because it associates the state apparatus of education to the fostering of deterritorialization—a term that we use to encompass forced displacement, as well as the dispossession of subjectivities, following Butler. Taking into account this legacy, the article reflects on the early stages of an ethnography of everyday educational practices in Portugal’s rural spaces—where presently no abyssal distinction formally structures public education—that articulate the idea of a Right to the Countryside. The article concludes by suggesting the usefulness for the disciplinary field of Education of focusing on the potentialities of the circulation of a critique of colonial rationality, between rural spaces in Portugal and in Brazil.
