| Sumario: | This article aims to discuss how the capitalist system is tensioned through the pedagogical traces contained in the epic methodology of the play Saint Joan of the Stockyards (1929-1931), by the German playwright Bertolt Brecht. The concept of “capitalist seesaw” finds inspiration in the words of the protagonist Joan Dark. However, more than criticizing a system in which, for a few to be at the top, many need to be at the bottom, Brecht contributes to the formation of subject-objects of history, who form their own reflections on their experience with theater and come across a pedagogical poetics that intervenes and leaves traces in politics, economics and education. |
